Overview
Toer de Geuze is a biennial event happening in odd-numbered years in which many of HORAL member breweries open their doors to the public for tours and tastings. It is generally organized in the Spring.
History
The first Toer de Geuze took place in 1997 when Boon, De Cam, Lindemans, De Troch, 3 Fonteinen, and Timmermans opened their doors to the public. Toer de Geuze is now one of the largest lambic-centered events in the Pajottenland.
