Lambic is a unique type of beer produced by spontaneous fermentation using wild yeasts. Unlike most beers, it is tart, funky, and often bone-dry in flavor profile. Gueuze is a blend of young and old lambics that referments in the bottle. Order a Gueuze à l'ancienne for the most authentic and challenging taste experience. Visitors should avoid sweetened fruit lambics that use syrups rather than real fruit.
