Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen
Founded in Portland in 1984, Widmer helped create American-style hefeweizen: Owing to their exceptionally rudimentary facilities, the brewers opted for a different yeast strain than the one traditionally used in Germany—with the result smacking more of citrus than banana. (A good thing once you're on your second bottle, trust us.) The brothers Widmer also popularized the lemon wedge garnish now common among American hefeweizens —considered sacrilege overseas, but de rigueur on your front porch.
