Hoegaarden Wit, an emblem of Belgian brewing heritage, is a classic witbier that has charmed beer enthusiasts around the globe.
Originating from the small village of Hoegaarden in Belgium, this beer is a masterful blend of tradition and flavor. Its unfiltered nature, spiced with coriander and orange peel, makes it distinctively cloudy and imbues it with a unique taste.
Hoegaarden Wit stands out with its citrusy-spiced European recipe that offers a multidimensional taste experience. The beer is both ancient and innovative, with a history dating back to the mid-15th century when Belgian monks started brewing this style. It is characterized by its hazy, pale yellow color and a creamy head, delivering notes of lemon essence, spice, coriander, and hints of white pepper.
The history of Hoegaarden is as rich as its flavor. In the 1950s, the last local brewery in Hoegaarden closed, leading to the near extinction of this beer style. However, a local dairyman, Pierre Celis, revived the witbier style singlehandedly in the 1960s, breathing new life into this ancient recipe.
Hoegaarden Wit pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods due to its light and fresh taste. It complements fresh garden salads, fruity and sour desserts like lemon pie, light fish and meat dishes, and mild cheeses like mascarpone or feta.
