1. What are white beers?
White beers, also known as "witbier" or "weissbier" depending on the brewing tradition, are top-fermented beers made mainly with wheat. Their pale color and slightly cloudy appearance are due to the presence of suspended yeasts and particles of unmalted grain.

3. Food pairings
White beers pair perfectly with light dishes such as salads, fish, fresh cheeses, and seafood. They are also excellent for accompanying summer aperitifs and vegetarian dishes.
4. Tasting tips
