“Wannius Snijladam”, troubadour of the West Coast, has directed us – through his remarkable life story – by Belgian forests and towns, remarkable sites and surprising characters. And of course, he also brought some souvenirs in the form of tasters. It was an evening full of goblins, wolves, trolls, pirates, giants and … a friendly gang of beer tasters.
To end the ‘Week van de Smaak’ (Week of the taste) the Lambiekstoempers and the Streekproducten Centrum in Halle organised their Day of the Old Gueuze for the 10th time already, on Saturday 21th and Sunday 22nd of November. Sunday we also reached out our Golden Lambikstoemper Award 2015! Indeed, to the Streekproducten Center. 😀
The winner this year is Streekproducten Centrum (Poststraat 3A in 1500 Halle), because of their longstanding commitment to local beers and the Lambic beers in particular. Invariably they have all Old Gueuze and Old Kriek of the 12 remaining lambic breweries and “stekerijen” in their shop. Definitely worth a visit!
1 winner!
Normally we use a top three in our Golden Lambikstoemper election, but this year we only have one winner. After 20 years of efforts by the Streekproducten Centrum Halle we think it’s (more than) time to put them – and only them – in the spotlight. So we’ve thrown our principles and regulations for one time aside for this one and only winner of the Golden Lambikstoemper 2015 Award.
