← An Overview of Lambic

LambicInfoDragon.png

As lambic is often known for being blended, some commercial breweries have also blended young and old lambic with a variety of other beer styles. Often times, the lambic brewers or blenders will lend their lambics to other commercial breweries for blending, but some breweries like Gueuzerie Tilquin, have brought in outside beers to blend in-house with their own lambic. The characteristics present in lambic have been used to enhance beer styles from saisons to stouts, and these blends have been produced in a number of different countries.

The following table attempts to document all commercially produced beers that have lambic blended into them.
