Kurt and Rob Widmer, co-founders of Widmer Brothers Brewing, helped lead the Oregon craft beer movement in 1984 when they began brewing unique interpretations of traditional German beer styles.
In 1986, Widmer Brothers introduced the original American-style Hefeweizen, which elevated the brewery to national acclaim. Since then, Hefe (pronounced: “hay-fa”) has grown to become the top-selling beer in Oregon – the epicenter of craft beer – and the brewery has continued to push the boundaries, developing beers with an unapologetic, uncompromised commitment to innovation.
Brewed with golden wheat, Hefe’s unique cloudy appearance, bold flavors, and citrus notes defined the American-style Hefeweizen. At 4.9 percent ABV, it’s also one of the original session beers and the perfect beer for the summer. Multiple awards and nearly three decades later, Hefe remains the gold standard and Oregon’s favorite craft beer.
This summer Widmer Brothers is introducing a new badge to celebrate their home state of Oregon and their flagship unfiltered wheat beer. Check in to at least one (1) Widmer Brothers Hefe this summer between today and Labor Day (May 28 - September 4th, 2015), and unlock the “Oregon’s Favorite Craft Beer” badge.
