Museums

Throughout the years, many museums have opened that capture the history and culture of lambic. These museums have a wide variety of hours, some being open only a few days a year while others are located inside of breweries. The lambic visitor center is even visited along many of the bus routes during the Toer de Geuze. Visiting these locations can provide additional insight into current and closed breweries, brewing processes, and the history of equipment, farmhouse brewing, and the family businesses that have survived from generation to generation.

The following museums identified below have specific lambic focused areas. If you have photos or additional information from any of these that you would like to provide to the lambic.info initiative, please contact Adam or Bill through the Submissions page.
