German Wheat beer in Ontario

Ok, I am not a wheat beer fan but if you are I have news about the quintessential wheat beer launching in the LCBO store May 31st. A Beer Baron is launching it’s premium high quality wheat beer, “Hefeweissbier” in Canada, from the world’s oldest brewer, Weihenstephan. “Hefeweissbier” is brewed by Weihenstephan, a world-renowned brewery in Germany that began nearly a thousand years ago as a monastery brewery of the Benedictine monks. If you have never tried wheat beer, this is the one to try because others have model themselves after this very brand, so it personifies what a wheat beer is. It is a fruity, spicy light beer, quite good for warm weather quaffing. Don’t let me taste dissuade you – give it a try, maybe you will like and you can post and tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about!

Not only white beer or wheat beer

It is claimed that Belgian beer comprises the most diverse national collection of quality beer in the world, and varies from the popular pale lager to lambic beer and Flemish red. Belgian beer-brewing's origins go back to the Middle Ages. Twohundred years ago, every little village had its own breweries. In fact, every pub was a brewery. Some villages had more then 10 small breweries. Several of them grew up and are still existing. They produce only for there own pubs or have a local distributor for their special beer(s), they often export to foreign destinations, including the USA.
Beer production in Belgium is now dominated by Inbev (who is now the owner of Hoegaarden, the famous white beer) and Alken Maes, however there are approximately 125 breweries in the country; in Europe, only Germany, France and the United Kingdom are home to more breweries, but the haven't the ritch variety. Belgian breweries produce about 500 standard beers. When special one-off beers are included, the total number of Belgian beers is several thousand. Belgians drink 93 litres of beer a year on average. High esteem of Belgian beer is supported by beer writers such as the late Michael Jackson.
