List of Experimental Lambic Breweries and Blenders

From Lambic.Info

This section of the site is not exhaustive but does represent some of the more prevalent independent, private, and home blenders who are actively moving toward the mainstream commercial space, or who are already in the commercial space, but not regularly producing large quantities for commercial purposes.

Please note that unless otherwise noted, the beers from these producers are not available to the public, however they are discussed here because photographs and questions about these beers do periodically surface.
