Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier Glass: Iconic, Aromatic, and Crafted for Wheat Beers

The Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier Glass is the official weizenbier vessel designed by the historic Bavarian brewery Weihenstephaner, the world’s oldest. Engineered specifically for Hefeweissbier and other wheat beers, this glass supports the style’s signature aromas, large frothy head, and cloudy golden aesthetics on full display.

It typically holds 0.5 litres and measures around 24 cm (9.5 inches) tall, with a narrow base, broad middle, and slight taper at the rim to concentrate flavor and aroma while maintaining head space. The glass often features a twisted “optic swirl” design and the Weihenstephan logo, and most versions are dishwasher safe and made from toughened Rastal glass, CE‑certified in Europe.

On the senses, the shape supports the formation and retention of the characteristic creamy white foam head typical of Hefeweissbier, while the narrowed rim helps gather the yeast‑driven aromas of banana, clove, and subtle citrus into each sip. The thin walls and elongated cup showcase the beer’s golden hue and fine fizz beautifully. The sturdy base adds grip and confidence when toasting German tradition or enjoying sunny refreshment.

This glass is ideal for serving wheat beers like Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier at recommended temperatures around 6–8 °C. It enhances pairing with Bavarian weisswurst, seafood, light cheeses, and spicy cheese, elevating both aroma and visual appeal. Without a perfect glass, the foam disperses too quickly, and the beer’s aromatic essence is muted.

Whether you’re hosting a sunny gathering on a Dubai rooftop terrace or recreating a Munich Biergarten evening at home in Abu Dhabi, the Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier Glass brings tradition, clarity, and aromatic intensity to the experience.
