Changes

Fortunately for the lambic community, Jean’s daughter Sidy, and her husband John took interest in continuing the family’s blending business. In 1998, Hanssens Artisanaal bvba, as we recognize it today, was set up--passing the Hanssens name onto the fourth generation. As a very small blendery, neither Sidy nor John make a living from blending lambic and they have regular day jobs. Today, Hanssens is a 100% traditional lambic blendery, producing only authentic, unsweetened, and unpasteurized lambics. As of now, there are no immediate successors to the Hanssens name and is still located in Dworp on the same family farm and in the same family farmhouse purchased many years earlier by Bartholomé.<ref name=LambicLand>Tim Webb, Chris Pollard, Siobhan McGinn, [[Books#LambicLand: A Journey Round the Most Unusual Beers in the World|LambicLand: A Journey Round the Most Unusual Beers in the World]], 2010</ref> Hanssens is also a member of [[HORAL|HORAL]].
