Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailKnow-Nothing Hefeweizen

This is great staple beer to have in our assortment. A light, full-bodied ale with good citrus notes, and good wheat flavor, this one is truly for everyone! Hefeweizen usually runs 5.3% ABV. This beer is inspired by the German stylings of the Dewes Brewery on early Chicago's West Side. Dewes was know most for its "Munich Beer" and we were inspired to do a German-style reminiscent of that beer. The name is inspired by the political party in the 1800s in Chicago that attempted to smother German taverns by increasing liquor taxes and banning the sale of alcohol on Sundays. The Know-Nothing party inadvertently started what became known as the Chicago Lager Beer Riots.
