In 1726 alone, Hoegaarden had 36 breweries and 110 malt houses. However, in 1957, the village’s last brewery closed down, leading to the villagers vying to preserve the original recipe.

If we’re to believe most million-dollar beer advertisements, brews should be consumed in frosty mugs, ideally in proximity to mountains and/or bikini-clad women. Hoegaarden doesn’t pander to that stereotype. Years before craft beer had us all nervously rethinking beer-serving temperature and glassware, Hoegaarden was asking the Budweiser faithful to take a chance on an unfiltered, citrusy-spiced European recipe with ancient religious roots and little to no apparent sex appeal. And it worked. Hoegaarden is both 6 centuries and 50 years old. Once you realize you truly love beer (welcome, friend), you take certain reasonable pains to become acquainted with certain terminology. (More smart beer words mean more beer for mouth.) You’ve probably heard the term weissbier and maybe even heard witbier. They sound similar, but weissbier means “wheat beer” while witbier means “white beer.” Say that three times fast. Witbiers like Hoegaarden are in fact made with 50-percent-minimum unmalted wheat, which adds light grainy flavors to the mix, but they’re referred to as “witbier” because they’re unfiltered and hazy or milky. It’s been ‘bottle conditioned.’ Taste: unfortunately, it tastes like it smells and it tastes like canned sweet corn juice. Not a pleasant taste. I really enjoy this style of beer, and there are a few out there that are similar to Hoegaarden. The first ones that spring to mind are other Belgian wheat beers such as: VISITFLANDERS. (n.d.).

Still quite bright up front, but not nearly as much orange comes through in the flavor compared to the aroma. There is also an herbal and floral flavor, likely from hops. The sweetness becomes a bit much after a while. Water, Barley Malt, Wheat, Sugar, Flavours, Acidifier: Citric Acid, Coriander Seeds, Orange Peel, Hop, Apple Extract

Wheat beers are one of the easiest beers to pair with a wide variety of foods just keep in mind they are low intensity so can easily be over-powered by very flavourful dishes. Mild shellfish work really well as do dishes that run with a wit's hint of lemon and spices. Cheers Mind pale ale from @fierceandnoble . Bready malts, peppery spice and grapefruit citrus on the nose.

In the nineteenth century, the village had thirteen breweries and nine distilleries; [1] however, in 1957, the last local wheat beer brewery, Tomsin, closed its doors. [2] Pierre Celis, a milkman who had grown up next to the brewery and sometimes helped with brewing, decided ten years later to try to revive the style. He started a new brewery, called de Kluis, in his hay loft. [3] [4] Celis used the traditional ingredients of water, yeast, wheat, hops, coriander, and dried Curaçao orange peel known as Laraha. In the 1980s, with demand for the product continuing to grow, Celis bought Hougardia, a former lemonade factory, to expand his brewing operations.

Indian food in particular with its complex interplay of spicing can be brilliantly complemented and bought to life by a witbier. The coriander seed and spicy notes from the beer can act in harmony with those notes often found in Indian cuisine, whilst the citrus notes from the beer can help brighten any dish. Sold in a Hexagon bottle, the Hoegaarden Rosée was reputed to have been served in jam jars in the old times. This is because of its slightly sweet flavors of raspberries and an equally captivating aroma. It’s a wheat beer that’s perfect for all functions of summer, giving you a refreshing flavor and soft dry finish. Bell, E., & Saladino, E. (2018, June 15). 9 Things You Should Know About Hoegaarden.

It’s significance as a beer has somewhat waned as most do when they are so widely distributed.

Hoegaarden – An unfiltered Belgian Witbier (ABV 4.9%). “Naturally cloudy with a pale golden color, followed by aromas and flavors of soft wheat, citrus, orange and coriander spice; delicately creamy with a smooth crisp, clean finish.” – LCBO, Hoegaarden Description Almost 600 years ago in the Belgian village of Hoegaarden, a band of monks developed this unique recipe. Prior to this new recipe, wheat beers were quite sour; that is, until the Hoegaarden monks started experimenting with orange peel and coriander from the colony Curaçao: a divine discovery that led to the world-famous Hoegaarden recipe and unique citrus flavor.
