Blond beer
The most spreaded beer, recognizable thanks to its gilded color, color of the moonlight or color of freshly cut stubbles.
The range extends from bitter beers with a low alcohol content to sweeter beers with a much more important alcohol content.
Spontaneous fermentation
The fermentation is called "spontaneous" because the brewer doesn't add any yeast. Beer is stored in the open air and yeasts from the environment naturally ferment the beer. These yeasts only live in the Senne valley and Payottenland, consequently these country beers are brewed only in the area around Brussels.
Beers brewed this way, that can be identified thanks to their acid taste, are called "lambic".
Not refermented in the bottle
After main fermentation, these beers are bottled and ready to be drunk. This way, absence of refermentation allows a shorter brewing process.
