No less a person than Jan Verzelen, master blender at Lindemans, led us through the brewery on Saturday 2 February 2019 and made us even more familiar with the authentic process of lambic brewing.
Of course we also tasted. A very interesting experience!

On Saturday 20th of October 2018 we went towards Alvinne brewery with De Lambikstoempers vzw. It is located in the Belgian town of Moen and exists since 2004.
Production volume is increasing to 1,500 hl per year, of which 1,000 hl is meant for export. They produce more than 30 different beers. Their storage consists of 10 lager tanks for young beer and fruit bearing, 5 foeders and 100 wine barrels and they have their own bottling line.
The brewery also has a cozy tasting room with a view of the brewery. And we will have known that, because the tasters passed by in large numbers!

On Saturday 23th of June 2018 we went to West Flanders with a small delegation of Lambikstoempers. First we got a tour at De Feniks brewery (Heule) with a complete explanation in detail about how the different beers are brewed (ingredients and brewing methods), with extra attention for the beers ripened on wood and a guided degustation.
Afterwards we went to D’Oude Maalderij (Izegem), for some more tasting – to finish it off – and a blitz visit to the brewery there. In short: another great activity to frame!
