Belgian Wheat Beer

Buy Belgian Wheat Beer Online. Belgian wheat beer (or white beer) is a direct descendant of the beers from the medieval duchy of Brabant . It is re-fermented in the bottle and generally has a fresh taste, which makes it a good thirst quencher during the summer. White beer is made with an approximately 50/50 distribution of unmalted wheat and malted barley. The beer had almost disappeared in the 1960s, but was brought back to life by Pierre Celis in Hoegaarden, from where it began to play an important role in the Belgian beer landscape. In the 1980s, the style has also been taken over by Dutch and French breweries and later by breweries in countries such as Canada, the United States and Scandinavia.
