Overview
Moeder Lambic commonly refers to two different bars in the Brussels area owned by Jean Hummler, Nassim Dessicy, and Andy Mengal.[1] The original location in the Saint-Gilles area of Brussels, called Chez Moeder Lambic, was established in the 1980s. In 2006, Jean and Nassim, who were bartenders at the time, purchased the business from the owners during bankruptcy. The success of the bar under Jean and Nassim led to the opening of a second location with third partner (Andy) near the center of Brussels at Place Fontainas. Today, both locations are known for their selection of lambic as well as non-lambic Belgian beers.
Moeder Lambic Beers
Both Moeder Lambic bars have a wide selection of lambic and other Belgian beers in draught and in bottle. The bars have also played host to Cantillon's Zwanze Day events. Though no specific lambics have been bottled for the bars, the draught list generally includes many beers from Cantillon, 3 Fonteinen, and other lambic brewers and blender that are not commonly found outside of the breweries or various festivals. However, there is one fruited lambic, Cantillon Cuvée Moeder, that is served exclusively at the bars.
Previous History
The name Chez Moeder Lambic has a long history in Brussels that dates back to the turn of the 20th century. At the time, there was an estaminet of the same name located in the Bois de la Cambre region of Brussels. This region was well removed from the busy city of Brussels, and many residents went to this 'urban park' area to relax and get away from the town. On the edge of the park was the maison de bière Chez Moeder Lambic. Photographs, postcards, and references exist starting in the early 1900's and lasting through the 1950's. According to Hervé Gérard, the building that housed Moeder Lambic was built in 1672 and was frequented by the likes of Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott. The building burned to the ground in 1975. [2]
The blog En bordeaux et bleu provides a brief explanation and some pictures in French. Lambic.Info is currently seeking information on whether there is a connection between the Moeder Lambic of the early 20th century and the Moeder Lambic that exists today, or if it is just a coincidental naming. If you have any additional information, photos, or references, please contact Adam or Bill or our closed breweries and blenders researcher Matt.
