Hoogaarden

  The art of white beer brewing was thanks to the work of monks living in the small Belgian town of Hoegaarden, they discovered the recipe in 1445. Hoegaarden's monks were so good at their job of making beer and wine that at one point in time there was over 30 small farmhouse breweries in the small town. However there was great odds against these white beer breweries, with the competition from the lager industry and both World Wars causing theft from them. The last Hoegaarden brewery closed down in 1957.
However nine years later, a milkman by the name of Pierre Celis, who was talking with his friends about how they missed the old white beer. With financial help from his father and brewing help from a veteran brewer he started a small farmhouse brewer he called, The Cloister.
Hoegaarden's Father - Pierre Celis
The success of his revival of this great beer was shown by the amount of production. It was just 350 hectolitres when it was opened in 1966, it then rapidly grew to about 75,000 hectolitres by 1985. This was a great achievement for the brewery, it was so successful that many other breweries attempted to brew their own white beers. They never managed to even rival the greatness of the original Hoegaarden though.
