History / Other Notes
Hanssens Oude Geuze is the oldest beer in the Hanssens portfolio. With so many lambic breweries in the immediate area during the mid-20th century Theo Hanssens used wort from Van Haelen in Beersel (closed in 1957), Van Haelen-Coche in Uccle (closed in 1968), La Fleur d’Or in Brussels (closed in 1969), Timmermans in Itterbeek and Winderickx (closed in 1969). The numerous brewery closures after World War II lead to Hanssens using lambic from Lindemans and Girardin. By 1990 the blend also contained Boon[1]. Today, these three breweries make up all of Hanssens gueuze blends.
