European Breweries History: Hoegaarden Brewery
Pierre Celis is a native Belgian brewer, who revived the white (Blanche) style in Belgium years ago with the Hoegaarden brewery. The Belgian White style is a very distinctive wheat beer, usually cloudy and spiced, giving it the refreshing quality of a traditional wheat yet the flavourfulness of any good brew. When Celis' Hoegaarden brewery was bought by Interbrew, he left Belgium for Austin, Texas, to start a new brewery, naming it after himself. He used his skill in white beer brewing to create a new Celis White, one of the U.S.'s first and most respected blanches. Celis, however, has a tendency of selling out and his brewery is now owned by Miller. |
