History of Wheat Beer
Wheat beer has been present since the concept of beer originated, around 10,000 years ago. Its origins can be traced back to the beginning of antiquity.
Wheat beer was even available in Mesopotamia, the first civilization in human history. It has a rich historical significance across the world.
However, the blend that we are familiar with today emerged during the Early to Middle Ages. This period also introduced more famous wheat beer varieties, such as Lambic and Witbier. Wheat beer, along with craft beer, holds a prominent position in the history of beer.
