Hoegaarden Witbier beer

Hoegaarden is a world-renowned Belgian wheat beer (Witbier) with a history dating back to 1445, originally crafted by monks in the village of Hoegaarden. After the style nearly went extinct, it was famously revived in the 1960s by Pierre Celis. Today, it is a flagship brand known for its distinctive cloudy appearance and citrusy flavor profile, achieved through the use of coriander and dried orange peel.

While its traditional roots remain in the Brasserie Hoegaarden in Belgium, the brand is part of a massive global portfolio. It is manufactured in various facilities worldwide to meet regional demand, including sites in Europe and Asia. The brand is ultimately owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), the world's largest brewing company, which manages the production, marketing, and distribution of Hoegaarden on a global scale.
