Lambic brewers

Lambic brewers produce a unique style of Belgian beer that relies on natural fermentation from wild yeast and bacteria present in the environment. Unlike most beers that use cultivated yeast, Lambics develop their complex flavors over long periods as natural microbes ferment the wort. The process often involves spontaneous fermentation, which can result in tart, sour, and funky tastes. Brewers typically blend different batches or age them in barrels, creating a diverse range of flavors. Lambic brewing requires patience, skill, and an understanding of local microflora, making it a distinctive and traditional craft within the beer world.
