"We are delighted to introduce two Hoegaarden variants, The Original and Rosée, which combine Belgium Beer Heritage and high-quality ingredients. We believe the presence of Hoegaarden will provide new colors and experiences for the beer market in Indonesia," The Hoegaarden Indonesia Brand Manager, Kartika Erwanto remarked, in a written statement.
Meanwhile, the General Manager of Anheuser-Busch Inbev Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia, Dominic Kirk, said that this is a brand with a great history and even more delicious flavors. Hoegaarden is loved by consumers around the world, especially performing very well in the Asian Region, where the brand is known as the number one wheat beer.
"Over the past 25 years, the brand has been launched in China, East Asia, India, and (almost) all regions of Southeast Asia where the connoisseurs are often the first non-lager beer consumers to ever try. Indonesia is a frontier for our brand," Dominic Kirk remarked.
Dominic Kirk says that Hoegaarden Beer was first brewed around 600 years ago by monks who connected Asia to Belgium.
"Hoegaarden comes with a favorite bottle and glassware packaging, a pouring ritual, and a taste that cannot be compared to a typical lager today. What's more, we are talking about a beer that was first brewed some 600 years ago by monks who received the first fruits and spices brought along the silk road that connected Asia to Belgium! This year, we are finally bringing back some of that historical context with a modern twist," he added.
