The wheat beer Primátor Weizenbeer has been named the world's best beer at an international tasting competition. The Czech brew which was produced by the east Bohemian Primátor brewery, became the overall winner of the 2013 World Beer Awards, and was also awarded as the best wheat beer. Praised for its balanced fruity taste, great body and spicy finish, Primátor Weizenbeer has been a pioneer in reviving a particular style of beer that has nearly died out in the Czech Republic.
The exports manager of the Brewery Romana Jansová introduced, "Weizenbier is a German-style wheat beer. It's brewed from wheat and it's not that typical for Czech beer production. We mostly make lagers but Primátor has been a pioneer in specialty beers, and Weizenbier was the first such beer produced in out brewery ten years ago."
He also said, "The Czech beer market is a little different. It has been hard to educate people; we first had to explain that there is nothing wrong with a beer that's not clear because it has yeast in it. So we first had to educate people about what wheat beer was. But is has since become popular here but it's still more popular abroad where consumers are more aware and educated about weizenbier." World Beer Awards competition has been organized by Paragraph Publishing since 2007. Organizers selected from the registered brands of beer while tasting nominate an independent expert jury. First place individual regional round for Europe, America and Asia, only then followed by a global round held in Great Britain.
