At that time, brewers used a wide variety of spices to balance cereal sweetness and preserve beer, since hop use was not yet widespread in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1693\"\u003eDuring the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Witbier achieved great popularity in Flemish and Walloon Brabant, but declined from the nineteenth century onwards, displaced by bottom-fermented Lager beers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"2079\"\u003eThe modern revival of the style is due to Pierre Celis, a Belgian milkman and brewer who in 1966 decided to recover the traditional recipe by founding De Kluis brewery in Hoegaarden. His reinterpretation of the style inspired many Belgian and international breweries, and today Witbier is a pillar of Belgian beer culture recognised worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1695\" data-end=\"2079\"\u003eBuy Witbier (white beer) online\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003eWitbier\u003c\/b\u003e  (or  \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"14\"\u003eBiere Blanche\u003c\/i\u003e) is the Belgian answer to wheat beers, with its own identity separating it from its German cousins. Here the key is not banana, but the use of unmalted wheat that brings that milky haze and unmistakable silky texture. The aromatic profile is built with botanicals: coriander seeds and orange peel (traditionally Curacao variety), resulting in a citrusy, spicy and extremely refreshing beer.
