Re: Hoegaarden
[ QUOTE ]
I firmly believe that Hoegaarden is far and away the best beer ever created. I'm not sure how popular or well known it is. One of my friends "introduced" me to it about a year ago. I had never heard of it until then. Most liquor stores don't seem to have it. The gap between Hoegaarden and my second favorite beer (not sure what that is) is enormous. I can't drink one without drinking about 4. Any other Hoegaarden lovers out there? This pic causes me to drool like Homer Simpson. [/ QUOTE ] completely agree.. best beer of all time !!! |

Re: Hoegaarden
what Wookie said. Hoogaarden is fine, but there are better ones out there if you really like this style.

If you live in the northeast, you should be able to find much better Belgian whites than Hoegaarden. Here are four suggestions in order of my favorite to not quite as good, but still better than Hoegaarden: Southampton Double White Ale (New York) Allagash White (Maine) Unibroue Blance de Chambly (Quebec) Ommegang Witte (New York) [/ QUOTE ] well now i have something to look for on my way home today. Do you recommend with or without lemon? Also - odd question - but what temperature do you serve it at? I've had it at bars where it is kinda cool but not really (below a chilly room temperature), and then elsewhere where it is ice cold. |

Re: Hoegaarden
I think the Paulaner hefeweisen is pretty superior to Hoegaarden, but both are obviously delicious.

Re: Hoegaarden
It is considered a beer faux pas to have a slice of lemon in it.

I live in TX, however, so no dice. I first tried Hoegaarden in Belgium 5 years ago and loved it. It seems to have been gaining popularity here in the states since then, because it appears to be widely available now. I don't have a clear recollection of my impression of it in Belgium, but I do being disappointed the first time I had it after returning to the states. Still a good beer though. |
