Overview

A La Bécasse is a lambic café located near the center of Brussels. It exists today independent of the defunct Bécasse-Steppé blending operation. A La Bécasse was founded in 1877 by Henri Steppé, and it has remained in the Steppé family ever since.^[1]

A La Bécasse Beers

Though the café was the main outlet for the Bécasse-Steppé blending operation, which was started years later and owned independently by François Prosper Steppé, production of Bécasse labeled beers all but ceased in the mid- to late-1900s. However, after Timmermans purchased the rights to the Bécasse-Steppé, they began to supply lambic for the pub. Today, Timmermans produces a draught lambic doux (faro) for the café that is also occasionally bottled.
