Bierbrouwerij de Koningshoeven - Moreeke

Bellegem's Witbier is produced according to the traditional recipe for a wheat beer: a perfect harmony between barley and wheat. The wheat gives the beer its light colour. During the boiling of the wort, hops and certain herbs are added. After the boiling process, the sterile wort is cooled and fresh beer is added. The high fermentation is the basis for the fruitiness of the wheat beer and the spicy flavours ensure its fresh character. After fermentation, the beer is stored and matured. This is done so as not to lose the clouding of the beer. The beer is then not filtered, but sugar and fresh yeast are added and bottled. The beer has to rest in hot chambers for 2 weeks for the secondary fermentation process. The final flavour and aroma are the result of this process.
