There are several stories to explain the origin of the term 'gueuze'. This name dates back to the Rue de Gueuze in Brussels where, for the first time, a producer offered his delicious lambic in champagne bottles. Word about the 'lambick on Rue de Gueuze' quickly got around. According to sources, gueuze has its roots in 'gazeux' - the French word for carbonated - since traditional gueuze is a carbonated blend of different lambics. After the Second World War, some lambic brewers devised a new production method. They filtered the beer, added sugar, saturated it (with carbon dioxide) and pasteurised it. This new gueuze, closed with a bottle cap and available in 25 cl bottles, was called capped gueuze. Developed according to this production method, Gueuze Lindemans is a slightly sweeter version of Old Gueuze Cuvée René.
Lindemans Brewery continues to brew lambic, and so the ‘mother of all beers' still flows steadily through their beer taps in Vlezenbeek today. For 6 generations, brewery has produced one of the world’s oldest beer styles with the greatest care and immense passion. Soon, they will begin brewing high fermentation beers at a new site in Ruisbroek.
