Widmer Hefeweizen Beer?!
I have a test today and my instructors tell me that widmer hefewiezen is an import beer!. well i am doing my research and actually it says that one of the widmer brothers lived in germany and got accustomed to their STYLES of beer, however they created the widmer hefewiezen beer in 1986 in portland oregon based on the german style of beer!. so since they are not importing it from over there and they are creating it themselves here in the states then my question is, this beer technically IS NOT and IMPORT beer!. Am i correct!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Hefweizen is a German style of beer!.
Widmer Brothers Brewing Co!. make a Hefeweizen in Oregon, which being in the U!.S!., terms it as a domestic--especially considering they put an American spin on it!.
Craft brews get lumped in with imports because its easier to state on menus!. They can charge more because the beer is more expensive to make, considering that Budweiser uses adjuncts such as corn and rice to finish their beer!.
Hell, almost all beer styles come from overseas!. Steam Beer or California Common Beer is a true American style!. I think that and maybe a couple others are truly American brews!.
and I dont care what they say, if they wanted you to taste more lemon in the beer, they would have put it in the beer!. Don't Lemon a Widmer!!!!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are correct!.
I remember about 10 or so years ago, Budweiser from Germany was being imported to the US and a big lawsuit broke out between Budweiser of American and the German Bud!.
It was also an ancestor that came here 100 or so years ago and started the Busch company in the USA which then broke of with the German company!.
So it would be like saying is the American Budweiser considered a German beer and the answer is no!.
