List of Closed Lambic Breweries and Blenders

By the end of the 18th century, more than one hundred lambic producers once flourished in the old heart of Brussels. By 1900, only fifty were left within the city limits. Of the 2,700 active breweries nationwide before 1900, only 200 (8%) were known to practice some form of spontaneous fermentation. Prior to World War I, there were many lambic blenders. Nearly 300 merchants purchased young and old lambic for blending, which was most often served in their cafés.

The 20th century brought obstacles to lambic brewers, World War I especially brought hardship to the Belgian brewing industry as a whole. Breweries were sometimes occupied, and equipment was often confiscated. Some brewers stopped brewing lambic entirely, in order to compete directly with a new influx of popular imports, such as German lagers and British ales. World War II again brought the closure of many breweries and supply shortages that limited lambic production. The latter half of the 20th century saw mergers and closures of smaller companies by larger conglomerates, and the rising popularity of sweetened lambic.

The following list attempts to catalogue the lost lambic producers, documenting a significant part of Belgian brewing heritage. Breweries, blenderies, café blenders, as well as merchant contract brewers are all included here. While not fully comprehensive, it is an ongoing, open-ended research project that will continue to expand.

Please direct any feedback or submissions to Matt, our primary researcher of historical lambic producers, or to site editors Bill and Adam.

Hygiëna	Lembeek (Hondzocht)	Louis Paul	1860-1929	Founded originally as Brasserie de Sint-Roch. Delplancq suggests the origins of the name "Gueuze" were tied to Louis Paul from Brasserie Hygiëna in Lembeek, who in 1870 had the nickname "Geus" for his liberal politics. The brewery was also believed to have adapted the champenois method for lambic from Dom Pérignon, a French champagne producer. The people of Lembeek therefore called this beer "lambiek van bij de Geus" or "lambic of the Geus brewery". Delplancq, Thierry. Les Brasseurs du Lambic: Données Historiques et Géographiques. P. 262-263. Around 1875, the brewery engineer Cayaerts began bottling Gueuze Lambic. The brewery was sold to Pierre Troch in 1898. In 1919, brewery ownership was under Réne Troch, and the brewery closed in 1927 after the economic crisis. The brewery and warehouse buildings were sold to Jozef De Vits, a local tavern owner and gueuze-blender.
