Finding Weihenstephaner & Schofferhofer Hefeweizen in Manitoba: A Frustrated Quest

As a beer enthusiast residing in Manitoba, I often find myself frustrated by the limited options available, particularly when it comes to sourcing some of my favorite imported beers. While it’s true that Liquor Mart does carry a commendable selection of international brews—such as Paulaner and other renowned German brands—two highly sought-after varieties, Weihenstephaner and Schofferhofer Hefeweizen, remain elusive.

What’s more frustrating is the restrictive Canadian online liquor regulations that prevent me from easily ordering these popular hefeweizens from provinces like Ontario and Alberta, where they are readily available in local vendors. This has left me scratching my head and searching for alternative solutions.

To my fellow Manitobans, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Have any of you discovered a workaround or a different source for acquiring Weihenstephaner and Schofferhofer Hefeweizen? Perhaps you have insights into whether Liquor Mart might consider adding these gems to their inventory in the future. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this ongoing quest for delicious and authentic German wheat beer!
