== In Memoriam ==

Armand Debelder (October 26th, 1951 – March 6th, 2022) was a gueuze blender and lambic brewer at Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen in Beersel (later Lot, Beersel), Belgium.

For a concise overview of his career as a blender and later brewer, please refer to the brewery’s info page as linked above.

Prior to his official retirement in 2016, Armand had already begun construction of a house by the Belgian seaside. He was still partially involved with work at the brewery in Lot, until he started enduring bouts of back pain throughout 2018.

In early 2019, Armand was diagnosed with onset prostate cancer. Due to the effects the treatment had on his body, he was repeatedly admitted to hospital and an elderly care facility in between staying at his new home.

After a three-year battle, Armand passed away in the early morning of March 6th, 2022 in the Saint-Lucas hospital in Assebroek (Bruges).

His hometown of Beersel opened a condolence book at the town hall. An official statement of the municipal government reads: “Armand was an endearing man, willing to strike up conversation with anyone at all times. He was always happy to collaborate with our local community [...]. His expertise was invaluable in planning and setting up the Lambiekcentrum. Because of his accomplishments as a gueuze blender, brewer and tireless promotor of local Beersel produce he was inaugurated as an honorary citizen in 2006.”

Permanent and public tributes to Armand can since be found at several lambic-affiliated locations across the Pajottenland and worldwide.
