Traditional art of brewing a Lambic Belgium Ale
I found a great article on the Wall Street Journal today on Lambic beer. If you haven’t tried one, get to the nearest beer store and buy a Lambic. The Journal’s article was on the Cantillon brewery in Brussels. They do not taste anything like a traditional sweet-tasting beer. In their ‘consumption – ready’ state, Lambic’s have a very unique and sour taste. Brewing Lambic’s start out like all other beers, where you finish finishes in a few hours, but (to quote the Journal) “Only a few more years, and you could drink it”.

I also found a YouTube video on the The Cantillon Brewery in Brussels, Belgium.
