* Wind drives much of the brewing. Wind leads to more evaporation during brewing, shortening the boiling time. Also, the beer is divided among the two coolships in different ratios depending on the direction that the wind is blowing.
* Lambic is primarily aged in stainless steel tanks with wood shavings as opposed to barrels. However, in 2005, 10 foudres were purchased thanks in large part to the requirements around the european protection of lambic. The brewery has continued to acquire more barrels since then.<ref name=GeuzeKriek />

Lindemans bottles are coded to indicate the vintage and other information about the beer. Examples of this code are: LA22NGC or BA22OGC<br>
* L = Lot<br>
* B/G = The production line where this was bottled (this will only be seen on newer bottles since the expansion).<br>
* A = A letter representing the month. In this example, the A code indicates that the beer was bottled in January<br>
* 22 = The day that the beer was bottled *<br>
* N = The 14th letter in the alphabet. This indicates the year (by counting up the alphabet starting from 2001). So N would be a 2014 vintage. O would be a 2015 vintage.<br>
* GC = The specific beer. In this code example, this was a Gueuze Cuvee<br>
:: <nowiki>*</nowiki> On some special releases such as Blossom Gueuze, the code was printed on the bottle directly, and the day just shows 00 as the specific day that bottling would occur was unknown when the bottles were screen printed.
