Yet what we think of witbier today is a recent reinvention of an older, wilder style of beer brewed in the village of Hoegaarden. In this episode, we'll hear from author Stan Hieronymus, whose Brewing With Wheat offers the definitive history of the style. Hieronymus situates the witbier style in Belgian's brewing history, and explains how it hopped the Atlantic to land in Portland, Maine. We also hear from Rob Tod, the man who founded Allagash specifically to brew the famous style from Hoegaarden. Tod founded Allagash 31 years ago, and in that time, his flagship has become a Maine standard. This is the story of witbier, the story of Allagash, and our first iconic beer.
