Ah ha... "weck" is, properly, 'weck, as in short for "kümmelweck," a roll
with caraway seeds (and a bunch of salt). This clears things up a bit more,

Yes, it was in the bottle. And it was Beaumont who went really nuts about
it. It WAS good, I've always thought so, but I'd love to try some Frankish
fests. The one that all had us absolutely raving on our last day was the
Schlenkerla Lager, the beer Trum makes with unsmoked malt: it picks up its
smokiness from the remnants in the system, and it's FG. We were sneaking up
the aisle in the bus and stealing bottles out of the bags of writers who'd
gone to sleep.
