Auftakt

Grüß Gott!
(Bavarian Greeting for Good day!) Dear friends of the Bavarian style wheatbeer (also "Weissbier")and the Schneider family:
We, the brewer-family Georg Schneider cordially invites you to become an expert in the enjoyment of Bavarian style Weissbier. Further we would like to initiate with you, our valued customer, an even closer dialogue in 1996 we published Georg Schneider's first Wheat beer dictionary. This little book is by no means an exhaustive collection of information on Weissbier, but a rather personal guide for you through our favorite topic - Weissbier, of course.

We would like to take you now on a tour through the history of SCHNEIDER WEISSE and the Georg Schneider brewery. We hope to hear from you again. For example on occasion of a bewery tour in Kelheim!

Your family Georg Schneider
