Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier Non-Alcoholic holds a notable place in AF beer history as the world's first non-alcoholic weissbier, originally released in 1986 under the name Waitzinger Weissbier before taking its current name. The recipe uses the same traditional Paulaner Weissbier fermentation technique as the full-strength original, with the alcohol carefully removed after a thorough maturing process. In the brand's non-alcoholic range, which spans wheat beer and lager styles, the Hefe-Weißbier Non-Alcoholic remains the longest-standing entry.
