I gotta wake my ass up at six AM every day of this week and drag
myself up to Vascalinas. Yeah, I’m doing the drywall up there at the
new McDonalds.

There has been a very recent recreation by a young local brewer - can’t tell by heart which one. Bit of Googling ought to show you. However, the production was confidential.
There were more witbier styles in that area - I’m involved in recreating another one like that.

Are you adding calcium hydroxide to darken the beer (or is that a myth)? What about the extensive 4-5 hour boil time and multiple mashings? What a fascinating, completely modernly commercially unviable beer?

I would love to hear more about how this is being interpreted for modern production methods

from what I understand, traditionally, it is similar to Wit, no oats though, darkened with the addition of calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) and and extensive boil and very chewy / thick, best drunk fresh and hazy b/c it starts to get funky, but bottled versions got clear & sour over time.

Hoegaarden had Peeterman and Zoeg in the early 80’s. Both wonderful beers. I would very much like those beers to be re-introduced, together with the Neerijse Dubbelwit
