A Bit Of History

The Power Plant Restaurant and Brewery is located in historic downtown Parkville, Mo. The site was originally home to the Park College Power Plant, constructed in the early 1900's, and named after a city pioneer, Col. George S. Park.

The Power Plant Restaurant and Brewery was founded in 1998 and opened its doors to the public in December of 1998. We are dedicated to brewing beers of premium quality and character. Our brewers use the traditional methods of our early American ancestors to handcraft all of our beers. We use no preservatives, only the finest natural ingredients: malted barley, hops, yeast, and pure water. Brewing on site enables us to brew according to demand; assuring our customers will receive the freshest pint possible.

There is no substitute for a truly fresh beer.

WITBIER

Wit, of White, bier is a pale golden, tart, refreshing style thick with sediment and with a high level of carbon dioxide. With the pale malts, unmalted wheat and lack of filtration it's no surprise that it bares some resemblance to German HefeWiesse. The greatest difference between Wit and its German cousin is the addition of spices, classically coriander and Curacao orange peel. It is intended primarily as a summertime refresher. In the 1800's, Hoegaargen was one of the most significant brewing centers in Belgium, with 30 breweries producing Wit beer. Unfortunately, time chipped away at this situation and by the mid 1950's only a few were still in production. In the early 1960's, Pierre Celis took it upon himself to resurrect this all but dead style. The reintroduction of white beer went very well as Hoegaarden Wit took off. Celis moved to Austin, Texas, where he established the Celis Brewery. He has since returned to Belgium, but only after leaving us the legacy of his wonderful brewing skills.

Character of our Wit!
