In 1913 Philemon Vandenstock founded the brewery Belle-Vue,
the biggest Gueuze brewery of Belgium.
 

Since than they have been making the “champagnes” under the beers, near Brussels: Gueuze Lambiek, Kriek Lambiek and Framboise Lambiek.

The father of these beers is Lambiek. A natural beer with a fresh and sour taste, that can only be brewed in the Zennevallei.  Only there we have two specific yeast cells in the air.

These cells mingle with the wort (a mixture of wheat, malt, water and hop). They automatically trigger off the fermentation. This gives the Lambiek his special taste.
 

Gueze Lambiek

is the original beer of Belle Vue. It’s a very fresh beer.

Kriek Lambiek

is a beer with a cheerful character. This beer has young Lambiek as a base and they add sour cherries. After six months ripening in oak wood barrels, the taste of the beer has been developed.

Framboise Lambiek

is made like Kriek Lambiek only they use raspberries and raspberry juice.
