About This Beer
Erdinger Urweiss Hefeweizen is a celebration of traditional Bavarian brewing.

For anyone searching for craft beer Dublin or craft beer delivered, this beer offers a flavourful connection to Germany’s brewing heritage.

About the Brewery
Erdinger Weissbräu has been brewing wheat beers in Erding, Bavaria since 1886, and today it is the largest wheat beer brewery in the world. Still family-owned, Erdinger has built its reputation on quality, consistency, and respect for tradition. While the classic Erdinger Weissbier is globally recognised, Urweiss brings something special: a robust and nostalgic version of the Hefeweizen style that recalls how Bavarian wheat beers tasted in earlier times. By combining malt richness, yeast-driven spice, and careful brewing techniques, Erdinger continues to deliver beers that remain faithful to German heritage while appealing to modern drinkers across the globe.
Food Pairings
Erdinger Urweiss pairs beautifully with traditional Bavarian cuisine such as sausages, roast chicken, and pork dishes. Its spice and fruit character also work well with grilled vegetables, creamy cheeses, and lightly spiced curries. For dessert, try it with apple strudel or spiced cakes to highlight its malty sweetness and yeast complexity.
