Weissbier (wheat beer) originated in Bavaria in the 16th century. At the time, the ruling dynasty controlled production, only giving a privileged few the right to brew wheat beer (Weissbierregal). Regal Authority is our rendition of an original 16th century Weissbier. We fermented it in wooden barrels for 4 months and like most beers of that historical era, it is naturally sour due to the microflora living within the wood.
