==History==
In January of 1997, at the insistence of 3 Fonteinen's Armand Debelder HORAL formally established themselves with its original members: 3 Fonteinen, Boon, De Cam (then owned by Willem Van Herreweghen), De Troch, Lindemans, and Timmermans. The impetus to creating the group, to promote and protect lambic beers in the face of continued decline, drove the HORAL members to organize the first [[Toer_de_Geuze|Toer de Geuze]] on October 19, 1997. Toer de Geuze has been held every other year since then, with the most recent being in 2013. The most recent addition to the council is Pierrer Tilquin, owner and blender at Gueuzerie Tilquin, who joined in 2012.
