The new issue of BYO contains a nice article on German Dampfbier.
Basically it's a 80% Pils 25% Munich, Hopped in the mid 20s IBU, and
fermented with German Hefewiezen yeast. Briefly cellared for a 2-4
weeks.

Anyone ever try this or something similar? Basically a hefe with no
wheat?

Thanks

My stepson is a big fan of that beer ever since he tried it
on a former visit to Germany. He as well as the rest of our little
familiy was born there and I'll inquire with a few of the locals to
gather a bit more info on it. Maybey I can get a recipe, who know's!
I'll let you know.

I can't say I've heard of this style but I have heard of and brewed
Hefe Pils which is a 100% pils malt bill, lightly hopped beer brewed
with hefeweizen yeast. This Dampfbier sounds like a variation of the
Hefe Pils which could be best called a Hefe Marzen.
