==About==

~~Amateur~~ lambic ~~historian, with a~~ background in ~~library cataloging,~~ art~~, and graphic~~ design. Lambic beers have been a passion of mine for many years.

For the Lambic.info project, I archive and research information about historical lambic producers. My professional background is in art & design. Lambic beers have been a passion of mine for many years.

~~The first~~ lambic ~~experience I remember~~ was ~~likely a~~ Lindemans Framboise in the early 2000's, ~~but far more memorable was a draft~~ [[Cantillon_Fou%27_Foune|Cantillon Fou' Foune]] at the [http://www.maproom.com Map Room] in Chicago, ~~maybe ten years ago~~. ~~Half~~ of ~~the bar turned my direction~~, ~~anticipating a "sour beer face", though i'm sure~~ it ~~looked more like I was blessed by a faith healer... that was my revelatory moment~~.

My earliest taste of lambic was Lindemans Framboise, sometime in the late 1990's. However, the 'aha' moment came sometime later in the early-2000's, after trying [[Cantillon_Fou%27_Foune|Cantillon Fou' Foune]] on draft at the [http://www.maproom.com Map Room] in Chicago, Illinois USA. The world of traditional lambic revealed itself, and I continue to explore it today.

~~More recently~~, ~~after reading~~ [[Books#LambicLand:_A_Journey_Round_the_Most_Unusual_Beers_in_the_World|LambicLand]] and [[Books#Geuze_.26_Kriek:_The_Secret_of_Lambic_Beer|Geuze & Kriek]], I wanted to ~~know more about~~ the history of lambic producers, ~~ ~~ and ~~these books were~~ the ~~key inspiration for my ongoing research project on historical~~ lambic ~~producers that followed~~. ~~ ~~Thanks to the authors for their tireless work and inspiration, ~~and~~ to everyone that has contributed to this project along the way.

After reading [[Books#Wild_Brews:_Culture_and_Craftsmanship_in_the_Belgian_Tradition|Wild Brews]], [[Books#LambicLand:_A_Journey_Round_the_Most_Unusual_Beers_in_the_World|LambicLand]], and [[Books#Geuze_.26_Kriek:_The_Secret_of_Lambic_Beer|Geuze & Kriek]], I wanted to dive deeper into the history of lambic producers. My research has spanned over a decade, and the final result is the [https://www.lambic.info/List_of_Closed_Lambic_Breweries_and_Blenders List of Closed Lambic Breweries and Blenders page.] Thanks to the authors for their tireless work and inspiration, their books inspired me to delve deeper.
