In the 18th century, the old heart of Brussels once had more than a hundred lambic breweries. By 1900, there were only fifty left within the city. [1] Nationwide, only 200 practiced spontaneous fermentation out of 2,700 active breweries, a mere 8%. [2] Prior to World War I, there were many lambic blenders. Nearly 300 merchants purchased young and old lambic for blending, which was most often served in their cafés. [3]

The 20th century brought obstacles to lambic brewers, WWI especially brought hardship to the Belgian brewing industry as a whole. Breweries were sometimes occupied, and equipment was often confiscated. Some brewers stopped brewing lambic entirely, in favor of more popular German-style lagers, or ales to compete with a new influx of imports. WWII again brought the closure of many breweries and supply shortages that limited lambic production. The latter half of the 20th century saw mergers and closures of smaller companies by larger conglomerates, and the rising popularity of sweetened lambic. [4]

This list is an attempt to catalogue the lost lambic producers, documenting a significant part of Belgian brewing heritage. Though it is not complete or fully comprehensive, the list includes breweries, blenderies, café blenders, as well as merchant contract brewers that sourced lambic for their own brands. It is an ongoing, open-ended research project that will continue to expand.

Please direct any submissions, additions, or corrections to Matt, our primary researcher of closed lambic producers, or to site editors Bill and Adam.

Hygiëna Lembeek (Hondzocht) Louis Paul 1860-1929 Founded originally as Brasserie de Sint-Roch. Delplancq suggests the origins of the name "Gueuze" were tied to Louis Paul from Brasserie Hygiëna in Lembeek, who in 1870 had the nickname "Geus" for his liberal politics. The brewery was also believed to have adapted the champenois method for lambic from Dom Pérignon, a French champagne producer. The people of Lembeek therefore called this beer "lambiek van bij de Geus" or "lambic of the Geus brewery". Delplancq, Thierrry. Les Brasseurs du Lambic: Données Historiques et Géographiques. P. 262-263. Around 1875, the brewery engineer Cayaerts began bottling Gueuze Lambic. The brewery was sold to Pierre Troch in 1898. In 1919, brewery ownership was under Réne Troch, and the brewery closed in 1927 after the economic crisis. The brewery and warehouse buildings were sold to Jozef De Vits, a local tavern owner and gueuze-blender. His son Rene De Vits continued the family lambic blendery here until 1978, who eventually sold the brewery to Frank Boon. 1
