Blind Pig Dunkel Weizen Ale - “Dark Hefe”

Blind Pig is an exceptional creation. This unfiltered dark wheat beer is medium-bodied and smooth with a gently sweet character. Notes of chocolate and caramel mingle with a cereal malt flavor contributed by additions of malted wheat. Other Northwestern examples of this classic American style are rare and few. Certainly none are as tasty.

During the 1850’s, in Maine it was illegal to sell beer. Consequently, saloon keepers would charge admission to “see the blind pig.” Once inside, customers who had already paid to see the blind pig, would receive a “free” beer.
