They're probably most known for their lagers/pilsener, maybe he meant he also likes their wheat beers?

They're definitely best known for their weissbier - especially historically. Lager/pilsner is only 150 years old.

Well, might be geographical/context sensitive, then. They could well be better known for lagers in the US, which being overall better known for weissbier.
