About This Beer
The Weihenstephaner 5 Beer Gift Set With Glass is a tribute to German brewing excellence, uniting five exceptional beers from Bavaria’s most historic brewery. As the world’s oldest continuously operating brewery, Weihenstephan represents the pinnacle of balance, precision, and flavour — making this gift set a perfect introduction to authentic German craft beer. It’s a core part of our German Beer collection and a top recommendation for anyone exploring craft beer Ireland.
Each beer in this pack offers its own personality. The Hefeweissbier is cloudy, fruity, and smooth, bursting with classic banana and clove notes. The Kristallweissbier refines that profile into a crystal-clear, refreshing version of the style. The Original Helles balances gentle malt sweetness with delicate hops, while the Korbinian Doppelbock delivers deep caramel malt richness and a warming finish. The Vitus Weizenbock rounds out the collection with honeyed complexity, hints of spice, and a soft, lingering finish.
