Hoegaarden Belgian Wheat Beer Bottle, 24 x 330 ml

Product Information

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. Enjoyed in 70 countries. Misunderstood in ours. Crafty before craft was such a big deal. Started by a milkman and now owned by the biggest brewing company in the world. Belgian White Beer has been brewed in the village of Hoegaarden since around 1445 by numerous breweries before almost disappearing in the 1950’s. The recipe was passed down through generations, and in the 18th century, the village became one huge Hoegaarden brewery. 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.

(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.’ Hoegaarden is just 4.9% abv, which is quite low for a wheat beer, and very low compared to most Belgian beers! Is Hoegaarden Gluten-Free?

Their creation was an inspired beer with a refreshing flavor and captivating aroma, unlike any in the world. Eazy Peazy from @amundsenbrewery . Aroma is full on tropical - juicy mango and pineapple, citrus orange, resinous pine. Tropical fruit sweetness when we taste, with more citrus coming through and bringing in the bitterness, along with some earthy notes free-beer.co.uk/amundsen-eaz… @FreeBeer_UK - Jul 20 Brewing Hoegaarden is no simple matter. Hoegaarden is fermented twice but isn't filtered, creating its cloudy appearance and smooth texture. The beer's taste is soft, light and slightly sweet and sour, accompanied by subtle citrus notes. A decade or so ago, Hoegaarden wheat beer was my tipple of choice. Bursting with flavour and very different from the standard bitters and lagers I was previously drinking, it would sometimes confuse my fellow drinkers. “Why are you drinking that banana beer?”, I would get asked as I was lifting a hexagonal glass to my lips. The taste was certainly one that took a while to get used to, but opened me up to a world of wheat beers that previously I didn’t know about. 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.

Rosee was launched in 2017, and it comes in bottles and cans. The brewery Pierre Celis founded essentially ousted him. When it entered the international market in the 1970s and ’80s, Hoegaarden had to compete against wildly popular, insanely drinkable lagers. Complex, hazy ales like witbier had to either compromise or reconsider going to grad school. Celis wasn’t having any of it — his witbier was authentic, the kind of brew a 15th-century monk would chug and then high-five you for. So he exited the company in 1989. Hoegaarden is now owned by none other than brewing megalith AB InBev. It’s a witbier, which doesn’t mean ‘wheat beer.’
