Of course lager was only invented in the nineteenth century, so presumably they made very different beers before that.

it probably depends what you mean by lager. and calling weihenstephaner a lager is questionable.

Their main beer is a "Helles" :)

Weihenstephaner is mostly known for their Weißbier which is OK. Their Helles tastes like shit, though, at least compared to other Bavarian breweries.

Helles is regional to Bavaria and also the dominant beer. Hefeweizen is secondary choice but strong in export to the world :)
