Beer. The top choice of beer is German wheat ale (called hefeweizen or weissbier) because it contains a bit of live yeast. This yeast brings forward esters of banana and clove and make the batter very aromatic, it also helps it rise. The alcohol in the beer, even though not much, prevents the over-development of gluten. Oktoberfest lager is another great choice when in season even though it does not have the hefe yeast.
