The Brewery: In 1975, Frank Boon took over ‘geuzestekerij De Vits’ in Lembeek. The roots of this brewery date back to 1680, but René De Vits had no successors.
Origin: Lambic is a type of beer brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium southwest of Brussels. Brewed in Lembeek, the village that gave Lambic its name. It is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts and bacteria. Oude Gueuze’ label was accorded legal protection by the European Union. Brewers are now only allowed to call their product Oude Gueuze if the older lambic used in the process has been aged for three years, has matured in oak barrels and is free of any artificial sweeteners.
