On 8 February 2018 the prizes of the Beer Awards Digital Festival 2017 were awarded at Kantien in Ghent, where the “beau monde” of the Belgian beer world was gathered for a good glass of beer – f**ck you, Tournée Minérale! – and great appetizers of De Gebrande Winning, good company and a meeting with old acquaintances … and of course: the one and only #BADF17-medals. Because yes … we were told we too were amongst the laureats.

And the Pajottenland was nicely represented, as you can see on the photo below. 🙂

Gouden Lambikstoemper 2017 voor Foeders

… Foeders in Amsterdam!

Aided by a, by now, impressive list of horeca businesses, a number of criteria (draughted after many hours of debating) and after an anonymous on site visit, on Sunday 26 November 2017 we, The Lambikstoempers vzw, awarded our Golden Lambikstoemper for the 8th time to a business that, from our perspective, gave the most attention to the Lambic beers in 2017.

And the winner this year is the Dutch Foeders (Ceintuurbaan 257 at 1074 CZ Amsterdam), because of their very nice offer of Lambic beers (Oude Geuze, Oude Kriek …), but also Lambic in its pure form. Foeders is a neighbourhood café and a special beer concept in “De Pijp” at Amsterdam. The building is located next to the “Kabouterhuis” (gnome house) and is reportedly the oldest café of “De Pijp”. Absolutely worth a visit!

Top 3

To complete our top 3 of this year … At the 2nd place: De Kluis at Buizingen, where you can always go for a good glaas of Oude Geuze or Oude Kriek, or Lambic.

The bronze this year went to Restaurant 3 Fonteinen at Beersel, also a guarantee for a very nice offer of spontaneous fermented beers and for a while now no longer exclusive of brewery 3 Fonteinen!

And finally our honorable mentioning of this year is for Den Herberg at Buizingen. Besides their nice offer of spontaneous fermented beers from the “Pajottenland” and the Valley of the Senne, they also started to experiment with brewing their own Lambic. A very noble initiative. Congratulations to all laureates!

Dag van de Oude Geuze 2017

12th Day of the Oude Geuze

on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November 2017 in the Streekproducten Centrum Halle

It is already the 12th time we collaborate, so this is becoming a tradition. As a annual habit we organise a tasting with regional products near the year end, also the ideal occasion to get ideas for a gift for the year end.

This year we invited 2 guests at the Streekproducten Centrum:

Sven Deman of WHERE BEER MEETS CHOCOLATE specialised in combining of chocolat & beer: during this open door you can taste beer and chocolat. This results in a surprizing blend of 2 different products.
Johan Pevernagie of MATERIA GIN will get the visitors acquainted with his 4 tastes of different gins and if needed will give the explanation about the combinations with different tonics.
The regional products produced in-house can also be tasted of course. New this year is a paté made of Oude Geuze & Kriek 3 Fonteinen.

12th Day of the Oude Geuze

This twelfth edition takes place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November 2017, in the upper room of the Streekproducten Centrum, Poststraat 3A at 1500 Halle.

Saturday from 10.00 h to 18.00 h and Sunday from 14.00 h to 18.00 h.

Lasr year more than 650 interested people, among whitch a great number of foreigners, found their way to the Streekproducten Centrum to (re)discover the different tastes of the Lambic beers!

Also this year we provide an extensive variety of beers of spontaneous fermentation to taste.
Beers of the following breweries / blenders can be tasted : Boon (Lembeek), Cantillon (Anderlecht), De Cam (Gooik), De Troch (Wambeek), Drie Fonteinen (Beersel), Girardin (Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle), Hanssens (Dworp), Lindemans (Vlezenbeek), Mort Subite (Kobbegem), Oud Beersel (Beersel), Tilquin (Rebecq), Timmermans (Itterbeek) and the Lambiek Fabriek (Ruisbroek).

Dag van de Oude Geuze 2015

We only serve, to joy of a horde of beer lovers, the real lambic beers. Only those that are made with 100% lambic to make a OUDE GEUZE & OUDE KRIEK and with the yeast in the air of the Valley of the Senne. We are really proud to offer you in one location the full assortment of the 12 Lambic brewers and Geuze Blenders still left and a new one from the region.

Also this year the visitors get the chance to taste a real Lambic, the base brew of the geuze. We provide three Lambics, directly from the wooden casks of the local lambic brewers.

Besides Lambic we also serve Oude Geuze, Oude Kriek, Faro, Raspberry beer, … and two beers that actually don’t belong in this assortment: our own Servais beer, a top fermented beer brewed in the occasion of the year of Servais, a festival beer with a low alcohol by volume of 6,5%. And the high alcohol variant, Servais Tripel. Also coffee and soft drinks are available.

Dag van de Oude Geuze 2015

All beers are served in tasting glasses of 15 cl. This way you can taste more different beers.
