About This Beer
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen is a smoked wheat beer that unites two of Bamberg’s great brewing traditions: Rauchbier and Weizenbier. Brewed at the historic Schlenkerla Brewery, this 5.2% ABV Rauchweizen offers a truly unique drinking experience, blending fruity yeast character with smoky depth. As part of our German Beer selection, it’s an outstanding choice for those ordering craft beer online or exploring craft beer Dublin with an adventurous palate.

Using malt smoked over beechwood logs in the brewery’s traditional kilns, the beer achieves a distinctive smoky profile. Combined with classic wheat beer fermentation, it creates a layered character where clove, banana, and citrus meet savoury smoke. This makes Rauchbier Weizen one of Schlenkerla’s most intriguing offerings, bridging the gap between approachable wheat beer and bold smoked lager.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Hazy amber with a fluffy, lasting off-white head.

  • Aroma: Banana, clove, and wheat malt balanced by smoky ham and toasted bread.

  • Flavour: Fruity yeast esters, creamy wheat, and savoury smoke with a balanced finish.

  • Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium-bodied, with lively carbonation and a clean, smoky aftertaste.

About the Brewery
Schlenkerla Brewery is one of Bamberg’s most historic beer producers, with roots tracing back to the 15th century. Known globally as the guardian of the Rauchbier style, Schlenkerla continues to brew using traditional smoked malts, preserving a unique piece of Franconian heritage. The brewery’s beers are celebrated worldwide for their authenticity and bold flavour profiles, and Rauchbier Weizen stands as proof of their creativity within tradition.

Food Pairings
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen is highly versatile at the table. Pair it with smoked meats, barbecued chicken, or pork dishes for natural flavour harmony. It also complements creamy cheeses, roasted vegetables, or spicy dishes, where its fruity yeast notes balance the heat. For dessert, try it with banana bread or apple strudel to highlight its classic Weizen character.
