== What is Lambic? ==
''Main page: [[An Overview of Lambic]]'' <br>
Lambic is a spontaneously fermented beer brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium. Lambic consists of a variety of styles: old and young, carbonated or flat, fruited or unfruited, and sweetened or unsweetened. Its unique history, traditions, brewing and fermentation process makes it like no other beverage in the world.

== Lambic Brewers and Blenders (Commercial) ==
There are currently nine lambic brewers producing lambic within the Senne valley. There are four lambic blenders in the region who buy lambic from other producers, age it in their own barrels and create their own custom, commercial blends (Drie Fonteinen both brews their own lambic and creates blends using other producers' product).

''Main page: [[List of Experimental Lambic Breweries and Blenders]]'' <br>
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.
== Lambic Brewers and Blenders (Closed) ==
''Main page: [[List of Closed Lambic Breweries and Blenders]]'' <br>
Many lambic breweries and blenders have opened and closed through the years. The following 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.
== Lambic Bars ==
While there are many bars around the world that serve lambic, the list below represents places that feature lambic prominently, if not exlusively. Lambic enthusiasts plan trips specifically around these destinations, either because of their selection or because they have special lambics made specifically for their bar.
