Limited Edition Brew | World’s Oldest Brewery in OC
04.19.16
Wursthaus, Downtown Santa Ana’s popular German-style sausage and beer hall is one of the few places in California chosen to carry the limited edition 1516 brew by Weihenstephan, the world’s oldest brewery.
The brew was created to honor the 500-year anniversary of the Reinheitsgebot on April 23. The law is often credited as resulting in the high quality of German Beer as it limited the price and the ingredients used to brew it.
Only a limited number of kegs were created and Wursthaus is proud to have received ten of the hundred sent to California. The kellerbier-style un-filtered beer will be available for a limited time at Wursthaus, once it’s gone it’s gone.
Wursthaus is at 305 E. 4th St #106 in Santa Ana. 714.760.4333.
