Hoegaarden (Dutch: [ˈɦuɣaːrdə(n)] ⓘ) is a municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, in Flanders, one of the three regions of Belgium.

The municipality comprises the villages of Hoegaarden proper, Meldert and Outgaarden.

Countess Alpaïdis (Alpeide) later gave her county and castle (today the site of St-Gorgoniuskerk) to the Prince-Bishop of Liège.

This tax advantage was lost after the French Revolution once the Prince-Bishopric of Liège was abolished.

The industry had withered to nothing by 1955, but Pierre Celis later re-launched the town's now iconic white beer which has since gone on to become a global brand.
