Description
In 1857 werd in Maastricht Brouwerij De Ridder opgericht en dat was tot 1982 een familiebedrijf. In 1982 werd de brouwerij gekocht door Heineken. Brouwerij De Ridder brouwde op dat moment drie verschillende bieren: Ridder Pils, Ridder Oud Bruin en Ridder Maltezer.

Heineken besloot eind jaren 80 van de 20e eeuw om twee nieuwe bieren van De Ridder te introduceren: Ridder Bock (1987) en Wieckse Witte (1988). Door de toenemende vraag naar m.n. Wieckse Witte besloot Heineken eind 2002 het bier voortaan geheel in de eigen brouwerijen te laten brouwen. Hierdoor kwam De Ridder in december van dat jaar leeg te staan.

In september 2021 is er door Heineken gestopt met het Wieckse merk.
