Did you Know? One of the oldest styles of beer produced today, Lambics are wheat beers made with stale hops and fermented with wild yeasts and other microorganisms. The wort to make these beers is left to cool in the open vessels in the loft of the brewery with the windows and vents open allowing the wild yeasts to enter and spontaneously ferment the wort. Brewers hesitate to replace roofs or parts of their buildings in case they disturb the resident wild yeasts and bacteria that give a house character to their beer. Lambics have 506 fermentation phases as opposed to 2 for most beers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
