WITTEKERKE charms you with its own character, smooth taste and a unique delicious aroma. A very pleasant drink, light in alcohol with a crisp and refreshing flavor. WITTEKERKE is always served cold, but in taking your time to enjoy it, you will find more flowery and spring flavors towards the end of your glass. Although the hoppy bitterness is an underlying taste, it is never dominant. Perfect white head.
WITTEKERKE is a fictitious name for a typical Flemish town, like we find hundreds of villages in Flanders with a name ending on KERKE (church) or KAPELLE (chapel). WITTE means white in English, thus the translation of the name is WHITE CHURCH. The Bavik brewery has since a long time brewed its own authentic WIT beer under the "Bavik Wit" label, but the brewery chose to change the name in cooperation with the producers of the Belgian sit-com "WITTEKERKE", airing twice a week in prime-time on the Belgian TV channels. The actors drink WITTEKERKE during the show.
WITTEKERKE is now the best selling WIT beer in Belgium off-premise, and was voted several years in a row the best Belgian WIT beer by Belgian beer connoisseurs.

Style: Witbiers (White Ales)
Witbiers (White Ales) are the traditional wheat ales of Belgium. Unlike their German counterparts, the Hefeweizens, Belgian brewers are not constrained by the German Purity Law and therefore, they are happy to put spices and seasonings in thier beers. Witbiers are often seasoned with orange peel and coriander, though some brewers vary in the quantity and types of seasoning used.
Witbiers were essentially a dead beer style in Belgium after having beer popular for some 400 years beginning around 1550 A.D. In the late 20th century, the style was revived by Pierre Celis while brewing at Hoegaarden and today the Witbier is a popular style in Belgium and in the United States.
Coors Brewing's Blue Moon is a popular example of the Witbier style, though many American micro-brewers make thier own versions and some import versions are widely available in the United States.- Browse Witbiers (White Ales)
