The story behind it

The maker

The brand's modern era began when Pierre Celis rebuilt the witbier brewing tradition in his home village after the last local brewery closed in 1957. Today, Hoegaarden is celebrated globally as the original Belgian wheat beer, brewed using the same traditional ingredients of orange peel and coriander.

How it is made

Crafted in the Belgian village of Hoegaarden, this historic recipe dates back to 1445 when local monks began experimenting with botanical ingredients. The style was famously revived in the 1960s by milkman Pierre Celis, saving the traditional Belgian white beer style from extinction.
