In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst (Insurance against Great Thirst), commonly referred to as Grote Dorst, is a lambic bar located in the village of Eizeringen, Belgium. The pub itself is very old, having previously been owned for 51 years by a woman named Marguerite until 1999. Slated to close after Christmas in 1999, brothers Kurt and Yves Panneels took over the pub. Renovations occurred from 2001-2005 while an effort was made to preserve the original character of the building. The pub is open on Sundays and church holidays, as well as when there is a funeral service at the nearby St. Ursula Church. <ref name = GroteDorst> Grote Dorst, History - http://www.huisvandegeuze.be/en/welcome/history (English) </ref>
