Overview

Moeder Lambic commonly refers to two different bars in the Brussels area owned by Jean Hummler, Nassim Dessicy, and Andy Mengal. The original location in the Saint-Gilles area of Brussels, called Chez Moeder Lambic, was established in the 1980s. In 2006, Jean and Nassim, who were bartenders at the time, purchased the business from the owners during bankruptcy. The success of the bar under Jean and Nassim led to the opening of a second location with third partner (Andy) near the center of Brussels at Place Fontainas. Today, both locations are known for both their lambic and non-lambic selection of beers.

Moeder Lambic Beers

Both Moeder Lambic bars have a wide selection of lambic and other Belgian beers in draught and in bottle. The bars have also played host to Cantillon's Zwanze Day events. Though no specific lambics have been bottled for the bars, the draught list generally includes many beers from Cantillon, 3 Fonteinen, and other lambic brewers and blender that are not commonly found outside of the breweries or various festivals. However one fruited lambic Cantillon Cuvée Moeder is served exclusively at the bars.
