More from a press release:
“People today are hyper aware of what they’re eating and drinking” said Steven Hallstone, senior brand manager for Widmer Brothers Brewing. “We wanted to create a refreshing beer that folks could reach for after a hike, a run, or—in our current times—after an in-home workout. We’re not making any health claims about Süperweizen, but if you are planning on drinking a post-workout beer, why not drink one that tastes great and is loaded with superfood ingredients?”
Did somebody say in-home workout? To help launch Süperweizen, Widmer Brothers simultaneously unveiled a sweepstakes to give one lucky winner a Peloton bike, the perfect combination of a premium indoor workout followed by a world-class replenishing superfoods-infused beer. Fans have until June 1 to enter.
Süperweizen is crisp, light-bodied, and loaded with blueberries, goji berries, golden berries, acai berries, black carrot, and ginseng. Pouring a shimmering purple hue, this bright ale has hints of berry and 124 calories per 12-oz serving. Süperweizen is packaged into brightly-colored purple cans with a vibrant fruit and vegetable design highlighting the superfood ingredients.

About Widmer Brothers Brewing
Widmer Brothers Brewing helped create the Pacific Northwest craft beer movement in 1984 when founders Kurt and Rob Widmer, then in their 20s, began brewing unique interpretations of traditional German beer styles. In 1986, Widmer Brothers Brewing introduced the original American-style Hefeweizen, which elevated the brewery to national acclaim. Since then, the brewery’s iconic Hefe has grown to become Oregon’s favorite craft beer. For more than three decades, Widmer Brothers has continued to push the boundaries of craft beer. Based in Portland, Oregon, the brewery currently brews a variety of beers including Hefe, Drop Top Amber and a full seasonal lineup.
