lambic blend
A lambic blend is a type of traditional Belgian beer made from a mix of young and old lambic beers. Lambic is brewed using wild yeast and bacteria from the open air, giving it a complex, tart flavor. Blending older, more mature lambic with younger batches balances the acidity with fresh, fruity notes. This process is essential for creating certain styles like gueuze, which is a bubbly, sharp, and flavorful beer with layered depth. The blend allows brewers to achieve consistency and develop intricate flavors unique to this historic brewing tradition.
