I absolutely love this beer, and I make sure I drop into Lowenbrau for a few steins of it whenever I manage to get over to Sydney. Would anyone be able to give me a few pointers on how I could make something similar? I'd gather I'd need to use a wheat beer as a base and include some Hallertau hops but any more detailed info would be greatly appreciated :)

Try this one its supposed to be really close but i was given the recipe myself i havent actuallt tried it yet, if you do it let me know how it turns out, by the way this is for Lowenbrau ( bavarian pilsner)

:beermakers lager ( including dry enzyme )
1 kg light dried malt
300g carapils malted grain ( crushed )
5g northern brewer, 10g hallertau and 10g tettnanger hops
saflager W 34/70 yeast
Final volume 21 litres

bring 2 litres water to the boil, add carapils malt and reduce heat to simmer for 20 mins. Add hops and dry malt and increase to boil for the last minute. Rest for 15 minutes then strain, add 10 litres cold water to fermenter, pour in strained ingredients, top up to 21 litres, pitch yeast and the rest is up to you M8.

hope this helps!!

Seems like an odd recipe for emulating a weissbier :? :?:

Yeah, that looks like a recipe for the original lowenbrau

I think I'm going to lose my window for doing a lager (temperature wise) otherwise I'd give that one a shot at some stage soon :)
