Weizenbier (Wheat Beer)
Wheat beer recipes are as old as Babylon, where wheat grain was often used to make a heady brew. The Middle Ages saw many new forms arise, where it was considered the brew of the nobility.

Measuring Beer - A Lesson In Hops and Color
Hops Who would have thought that something as subjective as 'bitterness' could be measured and quantified? But thanks to the ingenuity of brew chemists, that's just what has been done. 'Brew chemist'. How's that for a career idea to warm the heart of every college sophomore....Measuring Beer, A Lesson In Calculating Alcohol Content
