Hoegaarden = “Who” gaarden
So it turns out I have been pronouncing Hoegaarden incorrectly for a very long time. Just wanted to throw up a post to make my small contribution to letting everyone know.
The pronunciation was actually on the 6-pack packaging, and the wikipedia page pronunciation backs it up. In short the “Hoe” portion is pronounced as “Who”.

I discovered the other day that an alternate pronounciation for MGD is “champagne”.
