===Lambic ca.1900 – 1948===

Through the late 1800’s bottled lambic was still relatively uncommon owing to the difficulty of controlling the fermentation and having bottles explode. The lambic geuse was showcased the 1897 World’s Fair in Brussels and started to gain some popularity outside of the area after having been a relatively localized produced. By 1900, Kriek lambic had already been popularized, and an early mention of framboise lambic occurred around 1909-10. Paul Cantillon, of [[Brasserie_Cantillon|Brasserie Cantillon]] stated that they had more bottles of Framboise than of Kriek in his inventory for 1909-1910, which was reaffirmed by Jean Van Roy during the Lambic Summit, 2010.<ref name=“CantillonGambrinus”>http://www.cantillon.be/br/3_103 Cantillon Rosé De - Gambrinus</ref><ref name=summit16>[[The Lambic Summit 2010#Part 16|The Lambic Summit, Part 16]]</ref> In 1919 a law banning spirit drinks from cafés in Belgium was passed, though not often enforced.<ref name="Guinard">Jean-Xavier Guinard, [[Books#Classic Beer Styles: Lambic|Classic Beer Styles: Lambic]], 1990</ref> The First World War brought with it a great challenge for the brewing industry in Belgium in general.
