Hoegaarden

The gently rolling loess farmland around Hoegaarden has shaped its compact settlement pattern and longstanding agricultural economy. In Flemish Brabant, the municipality lies within the Gete river basin, where open fields and small village centres contrast with Belgium’s larger urban areas. Hoegaarden is known internationally for witbier, a pale Belgian wheat beer traditionally flavoured with coriander and Curaçao orange peel. Brewer Pierre Celis revived the local style in 1966 after it had disappeared from the town. Explore related webcams across Flemish Brabant to gain a broader impression of the Gete valley.
