De Cam's lineup consists of traditional oude geuze and oude kriek, as well other fruited lambics. All of De Cam's offerings are strictly traditional, using traditional ingredients, methods, and techniques.

In 2000, after a successful three years of blending lambic, Willem van Herreweghen left De Cam to return to Palm Breweries as a technical advisor. At the time, Karel Goddeau had been helping around De Cam and Willem had already suggested that Goddeau take over the operations. While Karel was finishing his final project as a student at Hogeschool CTL, researching starting a microbrewery and the brewing process of spontaneously fermented beers at [[Brouwerij_3_Fonteinen|3 Fonteinen]], both Armand and Gaston Debelder agreed to show him the art of blending lambic. In May of 2000, Karel agreed to become the blender at De Cam while still maintaining his day job as a brewer at a non-lambic brewery nearby.<ref name=GeuzeKriek>Jef Van den Steen, [[Books#Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer|Geuze & Kriek: The Secret of Lambic Beer]], 2012</ref> | In 2000, after a successful three years of blending lambic, Willem van Herreweghen left De Cam to return to Palm Breweries as a technical advisor.
