FermentationThe 'Lambiek Oud Beersel', which is the basis for BZART Lambiek, is first matured for twelve months in wooden barrels in the cellars of Oud Beersel. This Lambic is bottled by adding the 'tirage liqueur', which consists of sparkling wine yeast and sugar for the second fermentation. This beer then matures for at least nine months in the bottle and reaches its final maturity according to the 'Traditional Method'. During this process, fine carbon dioxide gas develops, remains locked in the bottle and makes the Lambic effervescent. By the application of 'riddling' and 'disgorging', the yeasts present are removed from the bottle.

The Brewery: The brewery was founded in 1882 by Henri Vandervelden in Beersel, southwest of Brussels.

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. 

Food: Perfect as an aperitif or digestive and goes wonderfully with fish and shellfish, especially oysters.
