Hoegaarden Brewery
Hoegaarden Brewery was founded by Pierre Celis in Hoegaarden in Flanders. Celis revived the witbier (white beer, see wheat beer) tradition in 1966 when he created a beer with the traditional ingredients of water, yeast, wheat, hops, coriander and dried Curaçao orange peel.
He later moved to the United States where he set up the Celis Brewery also making witbier.
The brewery is now owned by Inbev.
