Lambic.Info

Welcome to Lambic.Info! This is an active research project which endeavors to gather information about lambic brewers and blenders, both past and present. Here you can learn about their histories, lineage, beers, events, locations, and more. The subject of lambic is immense, and thus, this site will always be a work in progress. We encourage you to explore the entire site. You may also check the most recent updates to find out what’s new. Every effort has been made to represent lambic in an honest light, and we welcome open and honest input and discussion from the brewers and blenders themselves.

This site is not intended to replace the wide variety of published books, research, and information out there, but to instead serve as a portal to that information. To that end, we cite, credit, and thank the authors of many primary sources we have used in conjunction with our own independent research and interviews. We encourage fans and readers to seek out these sources to become better informed on the subject of one of the most unique and beloved beer styles in the world.

What is Lambic?

Main page: An Overview of Lambic
Lambic is a spontaneously fermented beer brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium. Its derivatives consist of a multitude of styles and a variety of characteristics: old and young, carbonated or flat, blended, fruited or unfruited, sweetened or unsweetened. Its unique history, traditions, brewing, and fermentation process make it like no other beverage in the world.

Lambic Brewers and Blenders (Commercial)

There are many brewers producing lambic within the Senne valley. Additionally, there are several lambic blenders in the region who buy wort from other producers, age it in their own barrels, creating unique commercial lambic blends.

Lambic Brewers and Blenders (Closed)

Main page: List of Closed Lambic Breweries and Blenders
Many lambic breweries and blenders have opened and closed through the years. The following page is not an exhaustive list of such places, but it is fairly comprehensive. However, there is a lot of information presented for some of the more recently closed breweries, so please take a look! As more information becomes available, it will be uploaded accordingly.

Lambic Brewers and Blenders (Experimental)

Main page: List of Experimental Lambic Breweries and Blenders
As lambic experiences its 21st century renaissance, many people have taken to becoming home-blenders. Much like the tradition of the lambic cafe, house-blenders source their lambic from producers and blend it in a number of ways. From traditional lambic and gueuze blends to blending with other styles of beer, more and more of these bottles are showing up.

Lambic Bars, Cafés, and Restaurants

Main page: List of Lambic Bars, Cafés, and Restaurants
While there are many bars around the world that serve lambic, the list below represents places that feature lambic prominently, if not exclusively. Lambic enthusiasts often plan trips specifically around these destinations, either because of their selection, specific lambic-related events, or because they have special lambics made specifically for their bar.

Lambic Events

Main page: List of Lambic Events
Throughout Belgium and the rest of the world, there are many lambic-specific events that take place during different parts of the year. Many times, these events are associated with specific breweries, special beer releases, or particular styles of lambic. These events can also be associated with various lambic-affiliated beer groups.

Lambic Travel

We are often asked about specific destinations around the world, as they relate to lambic drinking and tourism. Our travel section aims to provide a general overview of some places that may help you plan your drinking itinerary. *This new section is currently under construction, and we will post about it when complete!*

Lambic Groups

Mainly in Belgium, a small number of groups and societies exist that focus on preserving and promoting the culture of lambic. These groups help to maintain some of the various lambic museums, volunteer at festivals, and host their own tastings, events, and festivals.

Learn More

Outside of the Lambic.Info research initiative, there is a wealth of resources available to lambic fans and researchers alike.
