Hoegaarden Wheat Beer

Owner:Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (Belgium)
OriginBelgium
Manufactured:Belgium

Hoegaarden is a world-renowned authentic Belgian wheat beer, originally created in the village of Hoegaarden, Belgium. Its history dates back to 1445 when monks developed the recipe featuring coriander and orange peel. The modern brand was revitalized in the 1960s by Pierre Celis after the original breweries closed, leading to a worldwide resurgence of the craft witbier style.

Today, the brand is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), the world's largest brewing company. While the primary and historic production remains centered at the Hoegaarden Brewery in Belgium, global demand is met through various regional breweries owned by AB InBev. The brand remains a cornerstone of the Belgian beer portfolio, marketed for its unique cloudy appearance and citrus-forward flavor profile.
