October Fest Wheat is a timeless classic and one of our most celebrated wheat beer kits, inspired by the legendary Weihenstephaner Weissbier. This Bavarian-style wheat beer delivers a truly authentic German hefeweizen experience — cloudy, effervescent, and packed with the signature yeast-driven character that defines the style.

Brewed with Mangrove Jack’s Bavarian Wheat extract, our proprietary #05 Wheat Blend, noble Saaz hops, and fermented with the renowned M20 Bavarian Wheat yeast, this kit faithfully captures the aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel of the original, with a nod of approval from native Bavarians themselves.
