One of the most common debates surrounding lambic today is whether or not lambic can be produced outside of the Senne Valley. This is a very controversial and multi-dimensional topic. While spontaneous fermentation can happen anywhere, what makes lambic unique? Lambic represents hundreds of years of history. It represents a culture that identified the unique natural characteristics of a region and leveraged this terrior to produce a product unlike any other. It represents a completely unique localized brewing style where each step was developed specifically to capture and enhance the effects of the that region. It represents hundreds of years of family history, breweries that have come and gone, and a culture where bars and restaurants would buy wort and create their own lambic. It represents the annual pilgrimage of beer geeks worldwide who journey to Belgium to experience lambic.
