Pictures: Day(s) of the Old Gueuze 2021

Leave a comment

On Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th of October 2021, the closing weekend of the Month of the Lambiek, we – De Lambikstoempers vzw – in collaboration with Streekproducten Centrum (Halle), organized our 15th edition of the Day(s) of the Old Gueuze.

On the menu: more than 70 different beers of spontaneous fermentation: lambic, Old Gueuze, Old Kriek and various fruit lambics. Firsts and novelties were again trumps! And our tasting board with 5 “new Old Gueuzes” on it was also well received.

The people were present in large numbers, the sun was out… In short: it was again a pleasant affair. And on Sunday, our Golden Lambikstoemper was traditionally awarded, this year to café Paddenbroek from Gooik!

Pictures: Visit Boon brewery

Leave a comment

At the request of Frank Boon himself, De Lambikstoempers visited the Boon brewery in Lembeek on Saturday 18th of September 2021. We were guided by the brewer himself in the old and the new brewery, through the hall with gullies, the barrel warehouses (also those on the right bank of the Senne, where there are dozens of foeders, each with a capacity of about 27,000 liters of lambic!), the cooperage, and so on.

Sometimes playful, sometimes profound! And of course we tasted, from very young lambic to … Vat 31 (and something in between). An unusual but wonderful visit which we thoroughly enjoyed!

Frank Boon appointed honorary member of De Lambikstoempers vzw

And that the collaboration between the Boon brewery and De Lambikstoempers vzw is quite unique, is proven by the fact that our chairman was able to appoint Frank at the end of the tour as … “Honorary member of De Lambikstoempers vzw”. Rightly so and from the heart… Congratulations!

As an annual tradition, we go out for a nice meal with our members. This year we chose restaurant-hostelry De Smidse, a household name in the region and winner of the Golden Lambikstoemper 2020.

Restaurant-hostelry De Smidse is a picturesque restaurant in a beautiful location where owners Jeroen ‘Pelouse’ Van Lier and partner Vanessa Vanderheijden let you enjoy delicious regional dishes.

And yes, we did that to the fullest!
