This take on a historic, belgian style witbier. Brewed with 50% Wheat, Irish barley and oats, and traditional belgian spices

History & Style:

A 400-year-old Belgian beer style that evolved as the specialty of Dutch-speaking Flemish Brabant Province east of Brussels. Allegedly the Dutch brought spices from far and wide into the Witbier equation. The style had all but disapearred by the 1950’s until a labour of love by Pierre Celis at Hoegaarden brought this refreshing botanical beer back into vogue.

Tasting Notes:

Very pale, almost white in appearance from the oats. Fruity, with noticable spices of orange peel and fresh coriander. Crisp mouthfeel with a dry, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing:

Wit is the beer equivilant of a crisp white wine. Perfect with fish. Try a nice spicy fishcake, calamari or sushi. Light fresh cheeses such as young goats cheese or a fluffy feta.
