For our annual (members’) dinner this year, we headed for the pearl of Pajottenland, where we got to put our feet under the table at Roel “Roeloeloe” Janssens’ in cycling and walking café Paddenbroek, winner of our Golden Lambikstoemper 2021, to enjoy a delicious BBQ on Saturday 19 August 2023.
Beer Weekend 2023 on 26-27 August
On Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 August 2023, we show up again for the Lambikstoempers Beer Weekend, from 2pm to midnight (on Saturday) and from 2pm to 8pm (on Sunday) respectively, at the beer centre ‘De Lambik’, Gemeenveldstraat 1 in 1652 Alsemberg (Beersel).
As always, you get to choose from +100 different beers, most of which are of spontaneous fermentation (from flat lambic over Oude Geuze, to fruit lambic, Oude Kriek and so on), as well as a nice selection of new and/or special Belgian beers that are less or not (yet) known to the general public. “Specials” guaranteed!
You can also enjoy tasty snacks, whether or not on the sun terrace, while your children play on the bouncy castle or take part in our colouring contest. And yes, who knows, you might win a nice prize in our big beer tombola!
Entrance is FREE! Everyone is welcome!

Pictures: Tasting fruit (cake) & lambic
A lambic a day keeps the doctor away… and so does a piece of fruit, we’re told. 😊
Because we prefer to snack on the latter in cake form, on Friday 16 June 2023 we tasted different fruit pies in combination with different fruit lambics. We even paired it with a real ‘do you recognise the fruit?’ competition!
It was (healthy) eating, tasting, discussing, searching and laughing! Another great evening with The Lambikstoempers, in short. 😉

| 1. | Strawberry cake | Hanssens Oudbeitje |
| 2. | Rhubarb pie | Kestemont Rabarber |
