Empyrean Brewing Co.® Introduces Coco Hefe, a Decadent Twist on a Classic Hefeweizen

LINCOLN, NE, February 14, 2025 — Empyrean Brewing Co.® is proud to announce the release of Coco Hefe, a luscious new take on the traditional Hefeweizen that blends classic wheat beer smoothness with the indulgent flavors of rich chocolate.

Crafted with malted American wheat and flavored with fresh roasted cacao, Coco Hefe delivers a naturally hazy pour with a bright, golden hue. The signature Hefeweizen yeast imparts fruity-sweet notes of banana and hints of roasted chocolate and clove spice. Light-bodied yet decadently smooth, this brew is both refreshing and satisfying- a perfect balance of tradition and innovation.

“Our goal with Coco Hefe was to take the classic Hefeweizen and give it an unexpected twist,” said Tim Binderup, Head Brewer at Empyrean Brewing Co.® “The addition of cacao brings out the beer’s natural sweetness while maintaining the easy-drinking, effervescent quality that makes a Hefeweizen so enjoyable.”

Coco Hefe will be available for a limited time on draft at Lazlo’s Brewery & Grill, FireWorks Restaurant, and in 6-pack cans at retailers throughout Nebraska and our 9 state distribution area.
