What even is lambic? | The Craft Beer Channel

[@mehalld]

First had the 3 Fonteinen OUde Geuze at a Beerfest near me a couple years back, and it transformed what I thought beer could be.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

I did the same with a Boon Geuze about a year before most of the B-roll in the video was shot.

[@יותםברנתן]

Lambic beers are my favourite kind of beers. I was visiting Cantillon and 3 fonteinen breweries 4 months ago and got to take many different lambic beers home. these beers have such a unique and amazing flavors and aromas .

[@ianlaker9161]

My knowledge of all things beer and specifically the spontaneous wild fermentation of Lambic beer came from watching the great Michel Jackson's (no, not that one) The Beer Hunter years ago and reading his excellent books. You are carrying on a great tradition and I look forward to each video. Great stuff guys!

Some friends, and more and more people here in Belgium, buy Lambic (fi from the Boon brewery), and brew their own Geuze at their homes. They experiment with it, add some fruits, bottle them in small amounts (10, 20, 50 bottles) and organize tastings for friends. It is stunning how good these beers taste. Ofcourse, not all experiments are succesful. So... you can blend your own way, you can call it another lovely day.

Love lambics. My 2nd most favourite beer. 1st being flemish red ales (Rodenbach Grand Cru!!). Since you now explained the difference between lambic and "sour" in general (those that just add lactobacillus) I would love to see you guys compare the style of flemish red ale and Oud bruin ! Pleaaaaaaase do this! You guys are so good at explaining. Best educational beer channel!

[@KarlosEPM]

If you haven't yet, try Rodenbach vintage (better than grand cru) and Ichtegem's Grand Cru. Those are remarkable beers. My personal favorite is Vanderghinste Oud Bruin. Cheers :)

In love with Lambics, since my first lambic, the unbeaten Cantillon Gueuze. Lambics are the beers where you can see best that brewing is also an art.

The lactic acid production in Lambic beers is mainly attributed to various Pediococcus strains (and small amounts of Lactobacillus), while for a Flanders Red (oud bruin/oud rood), Lactobacillus strains are the main lactic acid-producing bacteria. Great vid!

I am watching this video for the third time since you published.. Lambics and Geuze are the nirvana of beers, and I love them along with all other Belgian Ales.. I just purchased a bottle of 3 fonteinen and a bottle of Tilquin today.. Plus, its so enjoyable to watch you guys..

[@onesmallerstep7494]

Lovely video - I discovered lambic and spontaneous fermentation through watching the channel and so it's nice to see a "what even is" about it. I picked up a Mort Subite gueuze lambic from CentrAle in Newcastle train station when I was back over Christmas and was blown away, it was a fabulous beer. Also, "rewilding beer" is a great term!

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Awesome to hear we took you on that journey!

[@JohanEngelen]

At my birth myfather bought a crate of geuze. When i turned 18 we opened the first bottle and for the next 24 years it was an anniversary tradition between my father and i.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

What an amazing story! Which geuze was it and how did it stand up?

[@JohanEngelen]

@@TheCraftBeerChannel I never new after 18 years in a cellar the labels were gone and to be honest at that age I wasn't interested in what it was. Only that it was a "real" beer that I was drinking with my father. And for the taste. The first few years I wasn't able to appreciate the complexity of it. But once I had learned it grew better every year. The last bottle was the best beer I ever drank like a 25 year old grand cru

[@darkguardian50]

I firmly believe that the Armand 4 Season gueze's are some of the finest beers ever made. Incredibly complex and nuanced from one to the other. Because each one came from a different season each one is different. Lente (Spring) is the general favorite, but personally I love the full bodied robustness of the both Winter and Herfst (Fall). But when it comes to fruit lambics, no one beats Cantillon. Lou Pepe Kriek is one of the only perfect scores I have given a beer. Of course, gone are the days where you can easily find any of these beers. I was lucky enough to snag a 3F Aardbei (Strawberry) lambic that I am saving for New Years. But if you see anything from 3F and Cantillon on the shelf, get it. Any beer they make is fantastic. De Cam is very good as well.

[@johno7617]

3 Fonteinen is brewed in Beersel, a town which actually isn't located in the Pajottenland region but the Zenne and Zoniën region. The "border" between those (unofficial) regions would be the Zenne River running south to north. While the Pajottenland is more a landscape of rolling hills Zenne & Zoniën is a rougher and more wooded landscape. If you go there don't forget to visit the medieval Beersel castle, preferably before you drink any alcohol.

[@christiangnosis4019]

Feel like it´d be wrong to not mention: I live in a major brewing area, grew up in a neighborhood here named after Hiram Walker, original brewer of Canadian Club, and the brewery (walkerville brewery) produces a lot of beers now. Their easy stout got me into stout. If you can ever pick up one of their beers that´s been shipped properly, I´d recommend. Another popular nearby brewery (a short drive from here) is Flying Monkey, their beers are either great or meh though, depending on the kind.

[@jeremyghunter]

Learnt something more than expected. A few years back I made a meadowsweet ale which got infected and turned to gloop it was so bizarre. I couldn't figure it out as I'd never seen such a thing. Lo and behold it was probably pediococcus that avoided the scalding somehow! So it's good to know I've inadvertently got experience with pedio. With that aside I've finally learnt and understood the difference between lambic and gueze! Is there a style of beer from Belgium that isn't good?

[@flowleopard893]

Too fascinating thanks so much! It ties in with a lot I do in composting. There is going to be more than yeasts active, it is a pretty interesting "micro herd" that can and will collect in a sugary wort. Using hops to supress pathogens and keep dominance to 3 microbes is fascinating! It really is the most intersting brewing process I have ever heard explained.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Cheers! I believe there are around 80 different microbes pretty much always found in lambic, but the 3 (or rather 4 including acetobacter) bacteria dominate alongside ale and lager yeasts and brett.

[@DarkWildSaison]

Fun fact. The 3 Fonteinen Gueuze is actually a blend of old (2-3 years) lambics only. Armand the owner/headbrewer believes that „this is the way”. And therefore he has to prime it before bottling as you would with a regular Belgian Ale. Other Gueuzes that use the mentioned 1-2-3 year old mixing don’t need priming sugar since the 1 year old lambic provides it.

[@dampaul13]

Yeah, not sure that is entirely true. I still have geuze that I bought from the old 3F brewery where Armand himself talked about them being a blend of 1, 2, and 3 year old lambic, other than the 2011 Golden Blend, with also had 4 year old added. Also, Michael took over from Armand a while ago with a noticeable change in the sharpness/acidity of 3F beers.

[@brookatbroowery]

great video lads, thanks

[@remifjelldal7299]

Fantastic episode guys! Lambic is probably my favorite style of beer! (probably, because i crave different style at different times, but if i could only stick to one, it would most likely be Lambic). You sort of "forgot" to mention, or rather probably out of scope of the video, but these beers ages fantastically and the oude and bottle conditioned/fermented ones really changes over time, so its worth buying a bunch and try them at different ages too!

Wish there were more modern craft beer brewers that would try to create fresh lambics instead of releasing the same IPA over and over again

[@smudgyburgess]

Labics are not style brewed in Australia and so the only ones you can find are imported. I'm interested in trying them but I have no basis for comparison for what a good one taste's like. I tried 3 fonteinen oude geuze a while ago. But the overwhelming flavour was one of vinegar. I'm not sure if this is what should be coming through. Are lambics impacted by long distance shipment? Do the continue to change in the bottle?

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Well you do get the odd bad bottle of lambic, being a seasonal product it has good and bad vintages as well as some bottles where the seal isnt perfect and it oxdisises or remains flat. So it could be that... but it could also be your palate is sensitive to the vinegar flavours. I'd suggest tracking down a boon marriage parfait or Boon Black label - they are VERY consistent.

[@MichaelAndersen_DK]

This could easily have been a 1h show. Lambic is awesome and with a very interesting history and tradition. I hope the Tour de Geuze is happening in 2022, but at least the Megablend will be released on April 30 and I'm lookníng so much forward to that. Btw, it looked like footage from Cantillon and where else?

[@johnjeong4340]

I know this is a little off-topic but I've heard people describe Duchesse De Bourgogne as red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar. Does that mean there's a high amount of acetobacter going into its fermentation?

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

100%. That beer has lots of that acetic vibe, which combined with the other bacteria and the darker malts comes off as balsamic. It doesn't seem so harsh thanks to the balance of the beer.

[@dampaul13]

Flanders Red/Brown producers use a pitchable mix of yeast and bacteria, including acetobacter. They are one of the few beer styles, if not the only one, that actually welcome and encourage acetobacter. They also pasteurise their beers to keep the acetobacter levels under control. 3F, on the other hand, hate any trace of acetobacter, dumping any batch or barrel that shows any signs of infection.

[@keithsowerby8179]

Yes lambic is apart. Just to make it clear though that gose at it’s most authentic is a mixed ferment or spont, and is not kettle soured. Also Berliner Weiße at its must authentic is a mixed ferment with later addition brett - Kindl went over to kettle souring to produce a more industrial product some decades ago

[@Dlabanec64]

I don't think turbid mash is actually the thing that makes lambics funky. Brett can produce funk with even with little to no carbohydrates left. Homebrewers in Milk the Funk have tried to make brut-IPA like wort that has fermented in a couple of days and then pitched brett and the beer still got funky. I would guess IPAs done with coolships don't get funky because after fermentation they are kept in a cooler where brett perhaps refuses to work. Does anyone know more?

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Oh absolutely - any beer can get an infection, or be eaten up by brett and other microbes. But the longer chain sugars ensure this happens slowly and lets all the (around 80) different microbes have a slow effect. Otherwise things like acetobacter and lactobacillus would go to town before the brett really kicked off - which is where the pool party analogy came from. IPAs in coolships don't go funky because they are otherwise kept CRAZY clean, and cold, and are hugely hopped too which offers a lot of protection.
