==The Language of Lambic==
''Main article:'' [[''The Language of Lambic'']]
The language of lambic can be as complex as the beer itself. Belgium is a country divided up into very distinct linguistic regions whose inhabitants have their own words for many of the commonly used terms associated with the lambic tradition and process. Both Dutch and French speaking brewers and blenders operate today leaving many curious lambic drinkers wondering how this all came to be.

* '''Gueuze/Geuze'''
''Main article:'' [[''Gueuze/Geuze'']]
Gueuze (or Geuze) is the result of blending a young lambic (approximately one year old) with an old lambic (approximately two to three years old, or older). The blending of gueuze is a precise practice for which each blender has their own process. The resulting blend of lambics typically ends up in either 750ml or 375ml bottles that are laid to rest in the brewery's cellar to referment in the bottle. This secondary fermentation in the bottle produces a finely carbonated drink that is traditionally served from pouring [[baskets]]. Generally gueuze is a blend of one, two, and three year old lambics, however [[Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen|3 Fonteinen]] has released a [[Golden Blend]] that consists of a small portion of four year old lambic as well. Sometimes the resulting gueuze blends do not carbonate in the bottle resulting in "lazy" beers that can remain flat for years. See [[Brasserie Cantillon|Cantillon]]'s [[Brasserie Cantillon Loerik|Loerik]], 3 Fonteinen's [[Doesjel]] and [[Golden Doesjel]] and [[Lindemans Loerik|Lindemans Loerik]]
