Dunkelweizens: The Underappreciated Beer Style

Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round for a tale of love and dorkiness. Yes, I'm talking about the love affair between Dunkelweizens and the people who drink them.

Carrots Love Dunkels

Heard of our Peacock Classic? It's a traditional Dunkelweizen brew and actually the 2nd beer we ever crafted. We never even heard what a Dunkel was until we brewed it!

For those of you who don't know, a Dunkelweizen is a type of German wheat beer with a dark color and a rich, malty flavor. It's the kind of beer that makes you feel like you're sitting in a cozy little tavern in the Bavarian Alps, surrounded by lederhosen-wearing locals and the soothing sound of accordion music.

But let's be real, drinking a Dunkelweizen also makes you feel like a bit of a dork. I mean, have you ever tried to order one at a party? "Um, excuse me, bartender, can I get a Dunkelweizen please?" Everyone around you turns to stare, wondering who the hell this nerd is and why they're ordering a beer with a name that sounds like a wizard from the Lord of the Rings.

But you know what? Screw 'em. Because Dunkelweizens are worth the dorkiness. They're like the shy, nerdy guy at the party who turns out to be the life of the party once you get to know him. They're the kind of beer that you can sit and sip on, enjoying the complex flavors and aromas while everyone else is chugging their Busch Lights.

So next time you're at the liquor store and see some weird beer style like a Dunkelweizen, go for it. Embrace your inner dork and enjoy the deliciousness that is a German wheat beer.

Prost!
