More information about St. Bernardus Witbier
In the context of this beer, we would like to introduce you to a legend of the Belgian beer scene Pierre Celis was born in the town of Hoegaarden and did his homeland a great service But one thing at a time First, Pierre earned his money by helping on his parents' cattle farm and as a milkman On the side, the young man worked in the brewery of his neighbor Louis Tomsin, brewing beer and awakening Pierre's passion for barley juice In the mid-1950s, however, the brewery had to close and with it a typical Belgian beer style disappeared In the mid-1950s, however, the brewery had to close and with it a typical Belgian beer style disappeared from the menu Wit fell into oblivion for a while Pierre could not simply accept this tragedy, so he decided to take matters into his own hands and brew his own beer He brewed his first batch in a washtub in an empty stable belonging to his father, before using a loan from his parents to buy equipment from an abandoned brewery Pierre brought Wit back to his homeland and single-handedly sparked a renaissance of the refreshing style
In honor of and in collaboration with this inspired man, St Bernardus Brewery created Wit, a classic interpretation of the Belgian favorite in cloudy gold with the aromas of coriander seed, clove and orange zest
