Looking for Schneider Weisse and/or Aventinus Beer

Jun 01, 2004 2 Replies

Whomever can help me find this beer is both a scholar and a gentleman.



I live on the west-side of Los Angeles (close to Santa Monica) and have scoured the area for these very special beers called Schneider Weisse and Aventinus. They define ambrosia.

I would like somewhere I can go to purchase these beers in LA, but I wouldn't be opposed to ordering them online either.



Any thoughts???



Thanks a bunch


To be honest, I haven't really been paying attention to their availability in the LA area, because I'm rarely in a Weissbier mood. But Schneider distributes pretty widely in the States, so I'd be surprised if they can't be found in SoCal.

Best bets to look include Liquor and Wine Warehouse (or whatever the name is - it's something close to that) in Van Nuys. Beverages and More probably have it as well (locations throughout SoCal - check

Best beer store in the area, IMO, requires a bit of a hike for you, down to Costa Mesa, where Hi Time Wines is located. They also sell online -

Beverage Warehouse in Marina del Rey carries the Aventinus. Don't know about the normal Weisse -- that's not one I buy often.

You missed a chance a couple months ago to meet the brewer from Schneider. He was at the Sheraton 4 Points LAX. They also had Schneider Weisse on tap (but not now). They always have Aventinus bottles, and probably the Weisse, but again, I haven't noticed.

I think Naja's in Redondo has Aventinus on tap.

They are distributed in this area by Wine Warehouse -- if all else fails you could call them and ask (323-724-1700)
