List of Experimental Lambic Breweries and Blenders
Appearance
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.
Please note that unless otherwise note, the beers from these producers are not available to the public, however they are discussed here because photographs and questions about these beers do periodically surface.
