On Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 August 2018 our Lambikstoemper Beer weekend takes place – meantime for the 19th time! –, in the Visitor’s Center ‘De Lambiek’ at Alsemberg.

And yes, that same weekend there are certainly still other interesting and tempting (beer)events to go to, so it will be  a matter of combining or choosing. So we just want to lend you a hand with the latter.  😉

Why? That’s why!

1. +100 beers

At our Beer weekend you will find more than 100 different beers, among which a wide assortment of spontaneous fermented ones: Lambic, (Oude) Geuze and (Oude) Kriek.

With us the entrance is totally free. Also the ambiance, with us you receive – inside or on the large terrace outside – is totally for free. And the visitor’s center ‘De Lambiek’ is fully free to visit at this occasion. Further on we have very democratic prices, for the drinks … and the food.

4. Hunger?

What is there to eat this year? A tasty sandwich with white cheese & radishes/spring-onions (ideal with our tasty Oude Geuze/Kriek!), a portion of cheese/salami/mixed – provided by the Parent council of the primary school Huizingen – or a sandwich with (beer!) marinated warm ham from Benny’s Pigdelicious. In short: all of it really nice.  😛

5. Child friendly

With us everyone is welcome, even the smallest ones. While you are tasting, your children can bring out the artist in them at our big coloring contest or enjoy themselves on the BumpFun jumping castle. For the youngest (and the designated drivers) we also have artisanal fruit juice and water.

6. Win!

Finally you don’t have to go home empty handed. Meanwhile our Beer raffle is legendary. For a small contribution you may win very nice beer prices. (Almost) everyone wins! 😉

Lambikstoempers Bierweekend 2018

Our Lambikstoempers Beer weekend 2018 will be here soon…

As usual we have a huge offer of spontaneous fermented beers: Lambic, Oude Geuze, Oude Kriek and other fruit Lambics of ALL Lambic brewers and blenders of the Pajottenland, the new players included (… like Den Herberg, Belgoo and Lambiek Fabriek).

Hey, at our festival this year you can even taste a Dutch Watergeus, 100% natural fermentation, from brewery Vandenbroek (from Midwolde, Groningen). And also Cuvée Lambikstoemper (from 2014), we stil have enough bottles to let you taste the evolution of ‘our’ Oude Geuze.

And … from brewery Boon we also have an absolute (Belgian) exclusivity the Mikkeller Oude Geuze on our counter, riped in vermout barrels, which gave it a very unique flavour. Absolutely worthwhile tasting!

Beer in the spotlight: Brussels on top!

Each year we also serve a selection of beers in the spotlight. This time we gathered some remarkable, less known and special beers of Brussels’ breweries: Brasserie de la Senne, En Stoemelings, L’Ermitage, L’Annexe, Brussels Beer Project, Beerstorming, No Science etc …

And not in the least is the rest of our beer offer: from low, high or mixed fermentation, from tiny to medium size Belgian breweries where the brewing of artisanal beer is in their blood, from the region or from a distant corner of our land. And yes, again this year there are some “special ones” ! What would you think of the brand new Goyck, a blond beer mixed with Lindemans Lambic? Or the exclusive Five A Day 2018 Limited Edition from brewery De Feniks, mixed with 60 year old Goossens Lambic? And for the daredevils we also have the new Crystalstick Experimental2 on ice. In short: for each his own!

Systematically we will reveal more beers.

Rendezvous on Saturday 25 August (from 14:00 to 00:00) and Sunday 26 August (from 14:00 to 20:00) in the Visitor’s Center ‘De Lambiek’ at Alsemberg.
