Hoegaarden

1966 · brewery founded

The village's last witbier brewery closed in 1957. About ten years later, a local milkman, Pierre Celis, revived the style in his hayloft, using coriander and orange peel. After a fire in 1985, Interbrew helped him rebuild but then pushed to change the recipe, so Celis sold up. The brand now belongs to AB InBev.
