Pearl Street Brewery’s El Hefe Bavarian Hefeweizen is back!

Be the Brewmeister!

El Hefe Bavarian Hefeweizen is back in brewing rotation at Pearl Street Brewery, last brewed in 2019, this full time to seasonal brew was paused to make room for other new beers that hit the market and the public demanded to have it back, the Bavarian-style wheat beer is available in bottles and on tap. 

“We got some push-back when we stopped production of this beer” says Brewmaster Joe Katchever, “this one customer in particular would buy seven cases of El Hefe every week from the grocery store and when she couldn’t get it any more, she took it out on the clerks at the store so, they would keep asking me when it was coming back.” He went on to say, “She ended up buying ten cases last week when it was back on the shelf!”

The El Hefe is a Bavarian-style wheat beer brewed with American barley and wheat malts. Fermented with Weinstephan yeast for a subtle banana clove aroma often found in Bavarian wheat beers. Traditionally unfiltered, and usually served with a wedge of lemon. 5% ABV  8 IBUs. 

As one of our beers from our original line-up back in 1999, this notable beer is great for the summer season. It pairs really well with any backyard BBQ, it’s a great addition to a day on the river or some quiet time and a good book. This sessionable ale has always been a fan favorite!

Pearl Street Brewery to Can Flagship Favorite Java Lava Coffee Stout and Special Seasonal Selections

Pearl Street Brewery to Can Flagship Favorite Java Lava Coffee Stout and Special Seasonal Selections

Pearl Street Brewery will be distributing more of its flagship beers in cans, including the Java Lava Coffee Stout along with its selection of yearly seasonals including Rumpshaker IPA, That’s What I’m Talkin’ ’bout Organic Rolled Oat Stout, and Al Caporter

Java Lava Coffee Stout 

This stout is brewed with an infusion of fresh,  locally roasted Guatemalan coffee beans from our friends at Bean Juice coffee roasters. The dark beans are steeped in our stout until optimum flavor has been reached. You’ll find a fresh coffee aroma with roasty, toasty undertones. 5.5% ABV  14 IBUs 

Rumpshaker IPA

Looking more like a milkshake than a beer, brazen turbidity and bright, juicy hops mark this style. Our version is a hazy non-fruited version. 6% ABV 65 IBUs

That’s What I’m Talkin’ ’bout Organic Rolled Oat Stout

This Rolled Oat Stout is a full-body black malt Betty and is reflective of the industrial rail systems that plow through Wisconsin. It’s chocked full of organic rolled oats, chocolate and black malts and a variety of hops. And even with all that, it won’t weigh you down. Which means pint after pint, it’s full steam a-mocha brown-head.  5.5% ABV  14 IBUs

Al Caporter

A porter featuring an abundance of chocolate malt, a rich dark brown color, infused with even more chocolate flavor, and a noticeable dose of strawberry essence for the flavor and aroma of a fresh chocolate-covered strawberry. 6% ABV
