The Bruery is fairly new to the east coast, New Jersey at least.  I have just started seeing their beers here over the last couple months.  After trying their Saison Rue and the Trade Winds, I’ve been looking forward to trying more.  This next one from the Bruery, the Black Orchard, has a great description on the bottle: “..our unique distortion of teh Belgian witbier”.  How great is that?  Right on the label they tell us we like the wit, but screw it, we’re gonna mess with it completely!

Another summer beer for me to try.  Saw this at the liquor store today and I was in the mood to try a new summer witbier.  As with typical witbier or white beers, the Woody Creek White is brewed with coriander and orange peel.

My Biggest issue with New Belgium is they don’t distribute to New Jersey.  In order to get New Belgium beer (and others), I trade yeast samples with a beer buddy in California.  In my last trade I got a New Belgium Mothership Wit along with some other beers that I’ll be reviewing later.

The Wit or Witbier is a classic summer time ale, great session beer with hints of coriander and orange.  I wanted to take that a step further and I added japanese bamboo honey to the recipe.
