History / Other Notes

In October 2016, Armand Debelder officially retired. What he didn’t know is that a few months prior, he and Michaël Blancquaert had selected the lambics for his own ‘Pension Blend’, given later to him for his 65th birthday as a gift from the brewery's team. He later said : “That was a major surprise. I suddenly noticed a strange bottle in our storage room. I was already taking a deep breath to give them hell—because you don't put other people’s bottles in our caveau—until I saw that there was a cartoon of me on the label. It was one of the best moments of my life.”
