http://urbanchestnut.com/beer?id=718&cat=Bottles Not too long ago the beer world lost one of its modern icons, Pierre Celis. Pierre,almost single-handedly, resurrected what is today one of the most popular styles of craft beer…the Belgian Wit or White Beer- a deliciously refreshing,wheat beer originally created by Belgian farmers in the middle centuries, whose primary crop was wheat. Today, the style has a generous range-of-flavor and is often infused with a variety of spices, primarily coriander and dried citrus fruits. In keeping true to Mr. Celis’ homeland of Belgium we additionally brew ours with unmalted wheat using a very thorough mash regime. Here’s to you Pierre! *Editor’s note: We almost named this beer “Ill-Witted”. No, not because we have a sick intellect, but because we actually brewed this beer with local wheat from…drum-roll please…Illinois! Color: Straw Gold Hops: East Kent Goldings, Hallertau Tradition Malts: Pilsner, Unmalted wheat from a local Illinois farm
