BREWERY INFO
Kasteel BrourwerijThere was a time when Lambic, a style of beer created through spontaneous fermentation using wild yeasts in the open air, was only brewed in the immediate vicinity of Brussels. And yet, in 1957, our brewery took up the challenge of brewing the first West Flanders Lambic. This was a thorn in the side of many Brussels Lambic brewers, who tried to undermine St-Louis. They claimed it was impossible to brew Lambic some 100 kilometres out of Brussels. Nevertheless, we still brew Lambic here today. Not in Brussels, but in Izegem, where the wild yeasts grow.

Kriek Lambic St-Louis (Cherry) For at least six months, the pulp of morello cherries (kriek) matures in the gueuze-lambic. The stones produce a subtle taste of almond. Under the experienced eye of the cellar master, the young kriek is blended with the old lambic to develop its full flavour.
