Weihenstephan Cans!!!

Just in time for my dry January.

Gotta start a list for February.

 

Now I just have to get my local store to order them. He never succeeded in the paulaner pils, said it was unavailable. We’ll see with these...

I’d guess a year @AlcahueteJ but I’m sure someone may know with certainty.

 

As I clicked this thread I was saying "Please be 16 oz, please be 16 oz. etc." I will purchase the helles the second I see it.

 

"Unavailable." Love that lazy reply.

 

Funny but I do trust the guy, I talk to him a lot and he orders almost anything I ask, its pretty nice. He said it's something about Paulaner, lazy response yes but I think he was truthful. Another store said the same thing, either that or I'm just a sucker.

 

Sounds like he's trusting the word of his distro and nothing else. See if you can find out who the distro is and contact them... but expect a similar response.

Maybe contact Paulaner USA to make them aware.

All that said, I've looked for the Paulaner at a few spots around here -- when I remember to check, and haven't seen it, so who knows? But Paulaner beers have been readily available at many spots in my area for a while now.

 

Good idea @steveh if I make progress and get to the bottom of it I’ll let you know.

 

Our local store here doesn’t carry Weihenstephaner anymore, they just keep adding unknown Raleigh brewery beers. I doubt they move well, because bars aren’t open people are sampling and tasting on site. I’m not paying $12 from a brewery I’ve never heard of before. In this wired worn I’m going back to known staples, their “German “ beer section compromises Becks, St Pauli Girl, with a well known Heineken or Urquell is only a step away. It’s really the only craft beer store here in town at Lowe’s Foods, even their Beer Den taps are stale, mainly all Red Oak, need a bit of variety.

 

The canned Paulaner & Kostritzer are both 1 year from canning to BB, Weihenstephaner is probably the same.

 

I have never seen a Weihenstephan beer in cans

 

The good news about these new canned products from Weihenstephaner is that over the next month(s) these will be fresh products.

Cheers to fresh German beer (which is a rarity in my area)!

 

Awesome! Will pick up a 4-pack of each of I see them.

I haven't been able to find the Paulaner Pils near me either. And a search on Paulaner's Beer Finder shows one store in a 100 mile radius that carries it. Kind of odd because we got the Munchner Lager and Hefeweizen cans pretty quickly.

 

It seems the Best Before date is 11.19.21 on those cans. I imagine it's a year as well. A Dec 19 date does not seem feasible to me. Looking forward to your confirmation, however.

 

Permit me to rant once again:

Listing a best by duration of one year (especially for beers styles like Hefeweizen and Helles) is a load of crap!

Non-cheers to this!

 

I will take one of each, please. Actually I still have not had the hefe as I have not found it both refrigerated and fresh. I know I will love it fresh and safely in a can.

 

There's a picture at the top of this thread to change that.

 

I agree, Jever here on the shelf is always past their very generous freshness window. Sorry it’s 16 months old no thanks. I’d guess between by boat and customs 4 months might be as good as it ever gets. It’s been here on Urquell rarely though, 6 months is more likely, and I don’t like the taste, I could pick it out blind because it seems it always tastes “funny”. I can get 10 day old local Pils that blow it away so I really have stopped looking.
