The Lambikstoempers vzw organises …

Brasserie Lefebvre

Exclusive visit at Brewery Lefebvre

In principle guided tours in Brewery Lefebvre aren’t possible (for reasons of safety and hygiene), but for the Lambikstoempers vzw they like to make an exception.  :-)

Paul Lefebvre, director and responsible for production, and Xavier Tournet, commercial director, will be our guide on the site (mainly in French) and explain us everything about the grinding and brewing, filtering and cooking, purifying, cooling and fermenting, lagering, filtration and bottling. Of course, you also learn a little more about their wide range of beers …

And afterwards  there is a tasting. If we behave well, we even may taste a scoop! Probably a very unique evening …

 

Meeting on Thursday, March 17th, 2016 at 17:45 at the brewery, Chemin du Croly 54 to 1430 Rebecq-Quenast (parking in front of the brewery).

Participation costs 5 euro for Lambikstoemper members, 8 euro for members of Zythos and 10 euro for others.

‘Night of the Great Thirst’ no longer in Eizeringen

Night of the Great Thirst

Every two year (and  since 2004) the ‘Night of the Great Thirst’ was organised, the International Geuze & Kriek Festival of the Pajottenland, an initiative of ‘Het Geuzegenootschap’.

Move

The last six years this festival took place at Eizeringen (Lennik), at the renowned café ‘In De Verzekering Tegen De Grote Dorst’. This 7th edition however will take place on Friday 22 april 2016 in the center of Itterbeek.

“We are forced to move because of the ‘Kunst Op Komst’ artwork takes away the place for the second tent at our usual location in Eizeringen”, explains the organizer Yves Panneels.

New location

This year the ‘Night of the Great Thirst’ will place its tents in the Kerstraat at Itterbeek, on a lawn behind the church. “It’s a real nice location with a beer history, because it’s next to an old malt factory”, explains Panneels. “The new site is also easy accessible by public transport and is still in quiet and green environment.”

The last edition – in 2014 – attracted around about 2.000 beer lovers from all over the world to our beautiful Pajottenland, to come and taste our great pride, the beers of spontanaous fermentation.
