==Original Signage==

The legend of Saint George and its apparent connection to Belgium, the town of Lembeek, beer, and lambic in general is apparent after some research. What is still unknown is ~~where~~ the inspiration for the original drawing ~~of the sign~~ by Robert Desart in the back of Les Memoris de Jef Lambic and the saying came from. It may be nothing more than a picture ~~made up~~ by ~~the~~ Desart ~~ca.~~1955 as he was illustrating the book, but it may also be a sign ~~that is~~ still hanging above ~~the~~ door of an estaminet or café in an undiscovered corner of Brussels. Our hope is to someday find the original and uncover more of its history. The idea to adapt this logo for the project comes both out of respect for the cultural history of lambic and from the continued research that it represents.
