About the White Belgium Wheat Ale:
This is a beer styled after Blue Moon. Expect a real low bitterness, mild, smooth beer for easy drinking. An ideal summer thirst quencher. A Great Belgium Classic Wit Bier! A summer favorite! Lacy white head that lasts and lasts. Distinctive, light wheat beer with a hint of orange and spice.

FAQ
How long will it take to brew the beer?
We will meet first to brew the beer. This will take approximately 2 hours.

How long will it take to bottle the beer?
2 weeks after brewing we will meet to bottle the beer. This will take about 1 hour.

What do I do with the empty bottles?
Keep them for next time OR bring them back to U-brew for bottle refunds.

How do I store the beer?
After your Microbrew is bottled, always store your beer in a cool, dark place. A fridge is ideal. There are NO preservatives in our beers; shelf life is reduced if you store in a warm place. Shelf life is generally 3 to 8 months but best to drink within 2 months.

What do I wear?
Play clothes! You'll be getting down and dirty.
