What is Wheat Beer?
Wheat beer is a beer which is made with wheat, creating a much lighter color and more delicate flavor than beer made with barley and other grains. Historically, wheat has been a challenging grain to use in brewing, but when prepared well, a wheat beer can be quite distinctive and, in the eyes of some consumers, quite tasty. Germany and Belgium have a long history of wheat beer production, and many American breweries also make their own wheat beers.
