Brand Column
Brewed in Hoegaarden village since 1445, lost in 1955, revived in 1966. A coriander and orange-peel witbier that defined the style globally.
The hazy appearance and the floral aroma of coriander and orange peel define this Belgian white beer pioneer.
Hoegaarden village had brewed witbier since 1445, but the last brewery closed in 1955. Local-born Pierre Celis revived the tradition in 1966, and the brand grew to define Belgian witbier worldwide.
Wheat malt seasoned with coriander seed and dried orange peel. Lemon-like citrus freshness, spicy aromatic finish. The hazy look mirrors the soft, creamy palate. ABV 4.9%.
Excellent with white fish, shrimp, scallops, salads, feta cheese, and fruit. Pairs perfectly with citrus-driven dishes (lemon chicken, Caesar salad). Also matches sashimi and pickled Japanese fare.
Serve slightly warm (5-7°C) to release aromas. Often poured into the dedicated hexagonal glass to showcase the haze. Some bars add a lemon slice.
Now part of AB InBev. The flagship brewery in Hoegaarden still operates, preserving the original recipe.
