What is "Hoegaarden"?

Hoegaarden is a type of beer named after the village of Hoegaarden in Belgium. This is a word English speakers get very wrong: it tends to come out ‘hoe garden’, which sounds like either an imperative to work in the garden, or like some type of hothouse brothel. Neither is good. Get the first syllable right and avoid all such connotations, so you can ask for Hoegaarden without embarrassment.
