Hoegaarden Roseé 248ml

A “wheat beer” refers to really any beer where a substantial portion of the grain used in brewing is wheat. In general, they’re hazy, citrusy, and have fuller mouthfeel. They’re also kind of a pain to brew.

Most craft beers you’ll find in a bar are brewed primarily with malted barley. The reason is straightforward: barley malt is easier to brew with. Wheat beers are exceptionally hard to brew because the proteins and starches in the grain want to bind, making it trickier to extract the sugars. These same proteins make wheat exceptional for baking (think stretchy pizza dough).
