With the resurgence of the lambic culture in Belgium, Brouwerj Girardin has been able to get back to its roots. They are a main supplier of wort to blenders including [[Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen|3 Fonteinen]], [[De_Cam_Geuzestekerij|De Cam]], and [[Hanssens_Artisanaal_bvba|Hannsens]] as well as many private consumers and experimental blenders including [[Neill and Ross|Neill and Ross]] who blended Girardin lambic with blackberries to produce [[Shot in the Dark|Shot in the Dark]]. Armand Debelder of 3 Fonteinen has been quoted as referring to Girardin as the ''Chateau d’Yquem'' of lambic produces considering it to have some of the greatest “lasting properties” of lambics available for blending.<ref name=“WildBrews”>Jeff Sparrow, [[Books#Wild Brews: Culture and Craftsmanship in the Belgian Tradition|Wild Brews: Culture and Craftsmanship in the Belgian Tradition]], 2005</ref>
. The brewery joined [[HORAL]] in 2004<ref name=“HoralGirardin”“Horal Girardin”>http://www.horal.be/vereniging HoralGirardinHoral Girardin</ref>, of which Armand is a founding member. The future seems to be bright for the brewery. A potential fifth generation, three daughters and one son all born to Paul Girardin<ref name=“GeuzeKriek”>Jef Van den Steen, [[Books#Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer|Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer]], 2012</ref>, may someday carry on the Girardin name in the lambic world.
