Review: I never would have guessed that Hacker Pschorr Hefe Weisse Beer would become "my drink." It all started one night at Eleven City Diner when my waitress, Genie, misheard my order for Honker's Ale. Given my druthers, I wouldn't have chosen either of them, but I was tired that night and I just wanted beer. Well, Eleven doesn't carry Honker's Ale (or any other Goose Island product, thankfully) and I recieved a tall glass of Weisse.

I like weiss beers. Their cloudy, unfiltered and slightly dirty look with their large foamy head lends a certain sort of decadence to a diner's table. Though most weisse beers have less alcohol than many beers but a bit more than your typical PBR so it is not uncommon to loosen up quickly after drinking one of these. With a slice of lemon dropped into the froth for the final taste addition, Hacker Pschorr proves to be a tasty tall beer that is perfect for hot summer nights or as a refreshing after-work drink. The best weisse beer (in my humble opinion) has to be Franziskaner, but Hacker Pschorr will do in a pinch.
