Burleigh Brewing Company, brewers of the Duke range, have just launched the first of their new Limited Release series.
The Burleigh Hefeweizen is a German-style wheat beer. And, unlike the three regular beers in the Duke range, this one is going to be allowed to travel to bottle shops beyond 'Duke Land'.*
Already available at selected outlets on tap, look out for the packaged product to reach the shelves in mid-late August.
Hefeweizens are traditionally a summer beer and, according to the Burleigh Brewing crew, the Burleigh Hefeweizen is about as close as you will ever get to finding summer in a bottle.
Road tested at the recent International Brewers Day event in Brisbane, the hefeweizen was very well received and was one of the most popular of the night.
If you're having trouble getting your hands on a Burleigh Hefeweizen, contact the brewery at info@burleighbrewing.com or on 07 5593 6000 and they'll steer you in the right direction.
*Burleigh is a bit of an anomaly for a brewery of their size. They have set a limited distribution area for their beer with brewer Brennan Fielding wanting to ensure that his beer is delivered as fresh as possible. Brennan won't deliver further north than Hervey Bay or further south than Coffs Harbour and ensures that so long as it is in his control the beer stays refrigerated, not warehoused.
