St.Bernardus Wit is a traditional unfiltered Belgian wheat beer. It was developed in collaboration with Pierre Celis, the legendary master brewer who was the driver of the resurgence of white beer in the 1960s. St.Bernardus Wit looks distinguished and classic with its attractive, golden-yellow colour hidden under a subtle veil – it epitomises the authentic Belgian cloudy white beer. St.Bernardus Wit is famed for its zesty tastes of coriander and orange, with background touches of spicy cloves, fragrant with fruit and citrus. These zingy herbs combine with the creaminess of the wheat to produce a beer that is a masterclass in balance. The mild mouth feel produces a lovely interaction between the sweet malty taste and the refreshing touches of acid to produce a feeling of freshness overall.
In 2018, the brewery further strengthened its positioning as a destination for beer-loving tourists with the addition of an entire new wing, with room for more warehouses, a new brewery shop, spaces for events, conventions and seminars, and to cap it all off, ‘Bar Bernard’, a spectacular 360° rooftop bar plus tasting room. As of 2023, visitors can also take a Brewery Tour, a museum-style experience where they can explore the unique story behind St.Bernardus at their own pace. At the end of 2022, a brand-new three-storey production hall opened its doors, with a bottling area for filling and packaging, more room to store boxes, glassware and other packaging materials, additional offices and a new lab. The new bottling area improved the sustainability of the production process in various ways and allowed for further logistics innovations. Another new warehouse at Sappenleen, an industrial park in Poperinge, was added in the course of 2023 as well. As of 2023, annual sales have grown to 50,000 hectolitres, or 5 million litres in volume. Those 15 million 33cl bottles of beer are being appreciated in more than 80 countries. Approximately 55% is sold within Belgium. The United States is the largest foreign market, followed by the Netherlands and France.
