Pike Brewing Company has released their newest Creation - the Pike Dry Wit - now available in Liquor Stores in Alberta
In Belgium, brewing was originally a farm activity, taking place in the
winter, when farm work was slowest. Since barley and wheat were staples,
they were often combined in beers brewed in late winter or early spring for summer consumption. These wheat (wit) beers were seasoned with
herbs and spices either grown locally, like coriander and chamomile, or
imported, like orange peel from the Island of Curacao.
As American style lagers like Stella became more highly advertised in
Belgium, wit beer (white beer) came close to extinction. Pierre Celis,
a milkman from Hoegaarden resurrected the style in 1966. It became so
popular that Interbrew, now the owner of Budweiser, took over Celis’
ownership and built wit beer into a popular style worldwide.
