Brouwerij van Hoegaarden
Hoegaarden Brewery is a historic Belgian brewery famous for reviving the traditional witbier (wheat beer) style using water, yeast, wheat, hops, coriander, and dried Curaçao orange peel. The brewery traces its origins to 1445 when monks first developed the wheat beer recipe, and was revived in 1966 by milkman Pierre Celis after the last local brewery closed in 1957. Now owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev, it remains one of the most recognized wheat beer brands globally.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
