Malt, water, hops and passion. In four ingredients, trace the history of Brussels to the origins of lambic. These limited edition bottles from Bobbi Brewery hold the secret of 100% spontaneous fermentation, with authentic Lambic aged for 18 months where Brussels was born, in the cellars of the Halles Saint-Géry. Come and live a unique experience in the heart of the capital this Thursday, November 3rd from 3pm at the Halles Saint-Géry in Brussels.
Bobbi Brewery is a young brewery whose sustainable barley fields are located in Ittre and whose activity is anchored in Brussels. It continues its craft adventure, exploring traditional brewing techniques in order to honor them and make them discoverable to as many people as possible.
Bobbi Brewery first brewed its Lambic Fraise, in limited edition and distributed to several Brussels bars, and now offers an authentic and traditional lambic aged in oak barrels where Brussels was born, in the cellars of the Halles Saint-Géry.
Did you know that the Place Saint-Géry is the cradle of beer in Brussels? An aura that goes perfectly with that of lambic. Legend has it that this spontaneously fermented beer got its name from the “stills”, because the Brussels farmers found this drink so intoxicating that they thought it was obtained by distillation. But no! Spontaneous fermentation is the secret of this beverage: it results from the presence in the environment of “wild” yeasts, hence the importance of its maturation in the Belgian capital: without the Brussels atmosphere, no lambic. “Sacrée Cuyte”, for those who speak Brusseleir.
Come and learn all about lambic! In addition to a personalized bottling and labeling, Bobbi Brewery offers you an immersion in the world of lambic, with an exhibition that traces the brewing and maturation of this beer full of history. The guided tour will be followed by a food & beer experience co-created by chef Guillaume Leteurs and our master brewer, Kloris Devillé, who has acquired a solid know-how passed down from generation to generation in his family.
