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. 😉

Pictures: ‘Beer & Art’ Tasting

Brewing beer is an art anyway. On Friday 10 March 2023, De Lambikstoempers will serve some extra artistic beers in room ‘Regenboog’ (Zennedal) in 1501 Buizingen.

The link between beer and an 1881 painting by Edouard Manet, the 1986 sculpture ‘Woman and Man’ by José Vermeersch or a book set in the first half of the 17th century, written by Nikolai Gogol? You found out all about it at this tasting!

We tasted, discussed, judged… and once again practised the Art of Tasting! And those who did not attend were once again wrong. 😛
