Taste profile

Legend has it

Lambic has a holy origin legend. Veronus is said to have been a great-grandson of Charlemagne who left the court at sixteen to live humbly, taking work on a farm in Lembeek, south of Brussels. There he is said to have made a spring by planting a stick in the ground. One claim has it that lambic comes from that very spring, and its name from the village. Veronus died in 863 and is counted a patron saint of Belgian brewers.

Beer stories travel from brewery to bar to guest, and rarely shrink on the way.

Interesting facts

The farm
Lindemans began in 1822 on a small farm in Vlezenbeek, south-west of Brussels. In 1930 the farming stopped for good so the family could focus on kriek and gueuze.
The youngest
Apple arrived in 2005, the latest in the line. Faro came in 1978 and Framboise in 1980.
Spontaneous fermentation
Lindemans ferment their lambic spontaneously, and that lambic is the base for all their fruit beers.
Family firm
The brewery is still a family company, now run by Dirk and Geert, the sons of the brothers Nestor and René.
Especially good with

Skagen waffle, house sorbet.

Frequently asked questions

(More frequently asked questions)

Can I taste several beers at once?

Yes, with the beer box you pick six beers from our 24 taps, served in smaller tasting glasses. The staff are happy to help you put your flight together.

Do you serve every beer in its proper glass?

Yes, just like in Belgium. Each brewery designs glassware to lift precisely their beer, and almost every beer here is served in its proper glass.

Does the beer selection change, or is it always the same?

Both: taps 1-16 are our permanent draughts, always on, while taps 17-24 are rotating guest taps, each beer stays on until the keg runs dry, then a new one takes its place. New bottles also arrive in the bottle cellar all the time. See what's pouring right now →
