Welcome to lambic.info. This page endeavors to gather information about lambic breweries past and present, beers, events, and locations into one spot. Just like lambic, this page is continuously developing with new information and entries.
This site is not intended to replace the wide variety of books, research, and information out there, but to instead serve as a portal to that information.

Lambic Breweries and Blenders (Experimental)
Main page: List of Experimental Lambic Breweries and Blenders
As lambic experiences its 21st century renaissance, many people have taken to becoming home-blenders. Much like the tradition of the lambic cafe, house-blenders source their lambic from the producers and blend it in a number of ways. From traditional lambic and gueuze blends to blending it with other styles of beer, more and more of these bottles are showing up. This section of the site is not exhaustive but does represent some of the more prevalent independent-, private-, and home-blenders. While many of these blenders prefer to remain quiet, some are actively moving toward the mainstream commercial space.
Lambic Breweries and Blenders (Closed)
Main page: List of Closed Lambic Breweries and Blenders
Many lambic breweries and blenders have opened and closed through the years. The preceding page is not an exhaustive list of such places, but it is fairly comprehensive. However, there is a lot of information presented for some of the more recently closed breweries so please take a look! As more information becomes available it will be uploaded to the corresponding brewery. Any submissions, additions, or corrections can be sent to our primary retired brewery researcher Matt or site editors Bill and Adam.
