The Lambic Round Table

The Toer de Geuze began in 1997 as a cultural celebration of the centuries old tradition of spontaneously fermented Lambic beers. 

As part of the Toer de Geuze’s rich and diverse programme of events in 2022, HORAL is introducing a new livestream event called The Lambic Round Table. Lambic personalities will sit down to discuss key issues relating to Lambic’s history, culture, and production. 

It will take place on Friday 29 April 2022 at 20:00 (CET). We kindly invite all Lambic lovers to come together and celebrate Lambic beers on this date.

Lambic and geuze:

the brewing process

Lambic and gueuze are most unique beers, keeping the age-old tradition of spontaneous fermentation alive in the Pajottenland and Senne Valley. Find out how the brewing of these beers is a fascinating process that takes several years.

Megablend

For every Toer de Geuze, a special Oude Geuze is created to commemorate the occasion: The HORAL Megablend.

The Megablend 2021 is a blend of young and old lambic from 10 producers: Boon, De Oude Cam, De Troch, Hanssens, Tilquin, Lambiek Fabriek, Lindemans, Mort Subite, Oud Beersel and Timmermans.
