In the 60s, Pierre Cellis opened a brewery in the Belgium town of Hoegaarden to rekindle the almost forgotten ancient style of Belgium witbier flavoured with coriander and orange. (The 1445 date on the label is something of a mystery.) Hoegaarden is brewed with 60% barley malt to 40% unmalted wheat.
