Wheat Beer Wholesale

Wheat beer differentiates an assortment. Bavarian Weissbier and Belgian and French witbier are distinct products serving different buyers.

About Wheat Beer in international trade

Two traditions dominate. Bavarian Weissbier — Paulaner, Erdinger, Weihenstephaner — is full-bodied with banana and clove yeast character, usually packed in 500 ml glass, 12 to a case. Witbier — Hoegaarden, 1664 Blanc — is lighter, spiced with coriander and citrus, and packed to the 330 ml lager standard.

The packaging difference has practical consequences. A pallet of 12 x 500 ml Weissbier does not carry the same case count or gross weight as a pallet of 24 x 330 ml lager, so substituting a wheat beer into a loading plan built on lager assumptions will change the numbers. Confirm pallet configuration per SKU before fixing a loading plan. Commercially, wheat beer earns its place by giving a container something competitors shipping only pale lager do not have.
