Hoegaarden White shortage: Why?
They’re running low on Hoegaarden White in Brussels.
Everybody agrees this is because production moved from the town of Hoegaarden to the InBev brewery in Jupille.
“The beer they produce there often has to be thrown out because it is not at all fit for consumption. So a lot of the white beer coming from Jupille is being shipped to the Netherlands to be made into pig feed. It really is a crisis,” a union member said.
An InBev spokesperson said the only problem was in the packaging process. “We are indeed having difficulties making capacity, but that has nothing to do with any brewing problems in Jupille,” says spokesperson Lian Verhoeven.
