===Brewery Locations===
Most present-day lambic breweries and blenders as well as those that are no longer in operation are situated in and around the [[An_Overview_of_Lambic#Lambic_Geography|Zenne valley]] in the [[An_Overview_of_Lambic#Lambic_Geography|Pajottenland]] area of Belgium. This area, consisting of mostly farmland, is part of the Flemish Brabant province and sits just west of the Brussels capital area. Though Brussels is primarily Belgo-French speaking, the area that surrounds the city to the north, east, and west is predominantly Belgo-Dutch speaking. This has led to very few breweries actually using the French terminology in lambic brewing on a consistent basis over the years. Currently, the only truly traditional lambic brewery located in Brussels using primarily French terminology for labeling, press, and first language tours is [[Brasserie Cantillon|Brasserie Cantillon]].
The only traditional lambic blender outside of Brussels currently using French terminology is [[Gueuzerie Tilquin|Gueuzerie Tilquin]]. Located in the town of Bierghes, in the Senne valley, it is the only gueuze blender in the primarily French-speaking Walloon Brabant region situated within the administrative commune of Rebecq. Two less-than-traditional lambic breweries, [[Brasserie Mort Subite|Brasserie Mort Subite]] and [[Brasserie Belle Vue|Brasserie Belle-Vue]], currently use French terminology, however; only Brasserie Belle-Vue is located in Brussels. It is currently owned by the international conglomerate of Anheuser-Busch InBev whose European headquarters are located in the Dutch-speaking city of Leuven east of Brussels. The rest of the prominent lambic brewers and blenders are mostly situated west/southwest of Brussels and primarily use the Belgo-Dutch dialect.
