Known as the Olympics of beer competitions, the biennial World Beer Cup evaluates beers from around the world and recognizes the most outstanding breweries and beers. A panel of 253 beer judges from 31 countries around the globe assessed 6,596 entries from 1,907 breweries in 55 countries. Hoegaarden’s Original White Ale—a light and refreshing bière blanche with hints of clove, coriander, and Curacao orange peel—bested the 77 other witbiers in its category.
