Hoegaarden
The Original Belgian Wheat Beer, Anno 1445
Almost 600 years ago in the Belgian village of Hoegaarden®, a band of monks experimented by adding oddball botanicals from halfway around the world to their traditional wheat beer. Our recipe, inspired by their creation, is a beer with a refreshing flavor and captivating aroma, unlike any in the world. You might call it divine inspiration… we call it Hoegaarden®
