History & Background

Blue Moon Belgian White was launched in 1995 by what is now Molson Coors, originally brewed in Golden, Colorado under the name Bellyslide Belgian White before being rebranded. It helped popularise the Belgian witbier style in the American market well before craft beer became mainstream, and remains one of the most recognised craft-style beers internationally. It is imported into India, giving Indian wheat beer drinkers an American interpretation of the witbier style alongside the more common Belgian originals like Hoegaarden.

Production & Maturation

What food pairs with Blue Moon Belgian White?
