==Side Notes==

The fact that most of the name of their products ends in -Elle ("She" in French) originates from a back and forth while looking for names, which unconsciously kept circling around one thing: feminine nouns. Indeed, the first ideas were "Dame-Jeanne" (in french, a glass carboy or "demijohn" used to ferment small batches are called "Dame-Jeanne"), then "La Force" ("The strength", with a design displaying a woman's arm with bit muscled topped by a demijohn) which is also a feminine nouns. Same thing with Brett (the wild yeast used in lambic) or the first fruit they used (cherry or "une cerise" in french). Looking at this fact, they decided to go all in with building names around "Elle", starting with Bret-Elle, Jart-Elle and Fontan-Elle.

Lambiek Fabriek is producing a gueuze and a kriek in large batches for Pajottegem, brand created by Roel Janssens (of the café “Café Paddenbroek in Gooik), different from their own. Other than that, they have done occasional small batches on requests under their own labels for restaurants or other professionals who wanted a specific beer. They also sold lambic and wort to hobby and professional blenders during season 2024/2025, and a few barrels resting in the warehouse are actually owned by customer who brought them and requested them to be filled with lambic for future use; though the team look after them and might assist for blending if requested, the resulting beer is not their own anymore.
