Comments Off on Hill Country Brewed Belgium

The story of Celis is a very intriguing one. Young Peter grew up outside of Hoegaarden, Belgium. (Does that name sound even semi-familiar? hint: it should). He grew up helping an older gentleman brew his unique witbier, or white beer. Now, the only place in Belgium this beer was brewed was Hoegaarden. There were countless breweries making this unique style. Well as time progressed this gentleman grew too old to manage his brewery operation. Young Peter approached him about purchasing the brewery. Celis did very well with this brew, to the extent that he was the lone brewer of witbier before too terribly long. He was approached by InBev and sold the recipe/brewery and it became the Hoegaarden brand. Celis then moved to Austin, Texas and began again making more beer. That is what we have here. A true example of an authentic witbier (white beer). I highly recommend this brew, it is very similar to Hoegaarden, albeit different (InBev altered the recipe for the mass-market).

356 more beers, I hope that you are thirsty.
