Hoegaarden (Rating = 4.0)
I had this (again) a few weeks ago and forgot to post about it. Pronounced Who-gard-en, this, to me, is a perfect hot summer beer. I have a few memories of this one from some good old days. The first time I had it was while I was in The Netherlands, hanging out with some colleagues and watching the some World Cup soccer 8 years ago. The weather was warm, the fans were crazy and this beer went down like water. Big fan. And still a fan of the Dutch team (go Orange). Yes, I am aware that it is Belgium and not Dutch, but the Dutch aren't the ones known for their beer-making. I've seen it in a bunch more places over the years, including a food/wine festival we went to Chicago a few years ago. Again, a perfect summer beer - it was hot that weekend in Chicago. While the food was mostly small plates, the beers were full size (complete with Hoegaarden pint glasses). So, we now have a nice set of four pint glasses to drink this in.
Good stuff.
