About

For the Lambic.info project, I archive and research information about historical lambic producers. My professional background is in art & design. Lambic beers have been a passion of mine for many years.

My earliest taste of lambic was Lindemans Framboise, sometime in the late 1990's. However, the 'aha' moment came sometime later in the early-2000's, after trying Cantillon Fou' Foune on draft at the Map Room in Chicago, Illinois USA. The world of traditional lambic revealed itself, and I continue to explore it today.

After reading Wild Brews, LambicLand, and Geuze & Kriek, I wanted to dive deeper into the history of lambic producers. My research has spanned over a decade, and the final result is the List of Closed Lambic Breweries and Blenders page. Thanks to the authors for their tireless work and inspiration, their books inspired me to delve deeper. Thanks especially to everyone that has contributed to this project along the way.
