~~'''Check Jef Lambic here for more info'''~~ Lambic pitchers were the primary vessel for serving lambic from the cask at [[Home#Lambic_Bars_and_Caf.C3.A9s|lambic cafés]] throughout Belgium. Before bottling lambics was prominent, many cafés served their own blends and straight lambics directly from wooden casks behind the bar. To facilitate larger groups and quicker serving times many bars and cafés had these large pitchers. Today, [[A_La_Bécasse|Café A La Bécasse]] still serves lambics in these pitchers.
