==Overview== | |||
Toer de Geuze is a biennial event happening in odd-numbered years in which many of [[HORAL#Members|HORAL member breweries]] open their doors to the public for tours and tastings. It is generally organized in the Spring. | |||
==History== | |||
The first Toer de Geuze took place in 1997 when [[Brouwerij_Boon|Boon]], [[De_Cam_Geuzestekerij|De Cam]], [[Brouwerij_Lindemans|Lindemans]], [[Brouwerij_De_Troch|De Troch]], [[Brouwerij_3_Fonteinen|3 Fonteinen]], and [[Brouwerij_Timmermans|Timmermans]] opened their doors to the public. Toer de Geuze is now one of the largest lambic-centered events in the Pajottenland. Charter buses now run specific routes to take attendees to the different breweries, and a riding tour of the Pajottenland takes place in concurrence with the Toer de Geuze. In 2013, nearly 10,000 people participated in the event.<ref name=TdG> HORAL, Toer de Geuze History - http://www.horal.be/en/toer-de-geuze (English) </ref> | |||
