This is a light, but strong German wheat beer with a sweet, citric profile up front and a smooth floral aftertaste. 3rd Place Winner in the German Wheat Category of the Iowa State Fair 2018 Beer Competition. Bethusela is the name my old friend Josh Green gave his dad when we were maybe 12 years old. It’s a mash-up of “Bill” and “Methusela” (The oldest man in history). I’ve known Bethusela for over 20 years. He lets Josh and a few buddies stay the weekend at his cabin on Clear Lake a couple times a year. It’s usually me, Josh and Cullin Herwig. Sometimes our old buddy Paul shows up and kills us in every game we play, the turd! We have a blast playing bags, nerdy war-games, drinking by the lake and telling stupid stories around a campfire. We’ve done it for years and now it’s a bit of a tradition. So, in honor of Bethusela letting us borrow his retirement home all these years, I’m making this batch of delicious summer Hefeweizen for him.
