==Overview==
The Night of the Great ThirstNacht van de Grote Dorst, also known as the '''International Festival of Geuze and Kriek''' is an event organized by [[The_Gueuze_Society_(Het_Geuzegenootschap)|The Gueuze Society]] that aims to publicize and celebrate lambic both in Belgium and throughout the world. This festival was first introduced in 2004 and is held every other year in Eizeringen, Belgium.
==History==
With the success of the original event, subsequent events continue to draw attention to the importance of lambic and its Belgian heritage. Additionally, the Night of the Great Thirst also pays homage to spontaneously fermented beers around the world. While not lambic, these beers are an important piece to the revival of interest in spontaneously fermented beers.
In 2012, the Night of the Great Thirst Nacht van de Grote Dorst won a bronze metal at the Belgian Beer Awards for Best Event of 2012.
