Many years before Cloudwater came into existence we were inspired by the brilliant minds of Hans-Peter Drexler of Schneiderweisse, and Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery, who came together to brew Hopfenweisse, a term fashioned by Garrett himself.

The resulting beer stood out in a sea of UK hoppy beers made with restrained or entirely neutral yeasts – often contributing little flavour to the beer, left in the shadows of both hot and cold side hopping.

In our early days we looked at Hopfenwiesse as pointing to a bolder future of beer, where rich and protein heavy malt grists, forward-thinking modern hopping, and flavourful yeasts contributed their all as powerful, equally capable allies in pursuit of the most robust flavours in beer. Long before we even knew NEIPA was a thing, Hopfenweisse lit a bold trail in front of us.

We’re thrilled to present a Double Hopfenweisse as part of our birthday offering. Rich, bold, lightly spiced, big bodied and yet quaffable, and highly hopped, as you’ve come to rightly expect from us. – Cloudwater Brew Co
