A little hungry? The Streekproducten Centrum is the place to go for a plate of cheese, sausages, “mattentaarten” and crisps. Soft drinks are also available here.
All beers are sold in 15cl tasting glasses. This should make it possible to taste several of these beers.
Entry to the Day(s) of the Old Geuze is FREE.

For our now traditional ‘tasting board’, this year we chose to highlight Boerenerf from Huizingen: with lambic, ‘Oude Geuze 1871’, ‘Oude Geuze Heritage’, ‘Pineau des Charenets’ and ‘Mus’iek’. This tasting board was specially designed to enable visitors to order 5 glasses at a time and thus embark on a journey through a fascinating landscape of flavours!
Golden Lambikstoemper
The Lambikstoempers vzw want to put the lambic beers in the spotlight every year by awarding a Golden Lambikstoemper Award, a recognition to a catering establishment that pays attention to our wonderful lambic beers in the best possible way.
Last year it was decided not to award a Golden Lambikstoemper Award in 2024. After all, none of the proposed on-trade outlets met all the criteria and, like the previous winners, a Golden Lambikstoemper Award has to be 100% deserved.
But this year there is another winner! On the basis of an impressive list of horeca establishments and a number of criteria (which were drawn up after many hours of discussions) and after an anonymous site visit to the proposed establishments, De Lambikstoempers vzw will hand out the Golden Lambikstoemper Award on Sunday 15 June 2025 at 2.30 p.m. to the horeca establishment that, in their eyes, has paid the most attention to lambic beers in 2025.
By the way, anyone can always suggest horeca outlets via our website. Be sure to do so!
GIFT BOX CUVÉE LAMBIKSTOEMPER
Finally, on the Day(s) of the Oude Geuze, it is possible to purchase an exclusive gift box containing the 3 variants of our Cuvée Lambikstoemper at the price of €45.00.
The box contains three 75 cl bottles:
- Cuvée Lambikstoemper 2014, a collaboration with Boon Brewery
- Cuvée Lambikstoemper 2019, a collaboration with Lindemans Brewery
- Cuvée Lambikstoemper 2024, a collaboration with Timmermans Brewery
These three beers were respectively launched on the occasion of the 15th, 20th and 25th anniversary of De Lambikstoempers vzw. For the first time, there is the possibility to buy the three beers together. A unique opportunity for the beer lover!
