From the record
Summary
One of the oldest surviving lambic blenderies, buying wort from lambic brewers and ageing it in oak. Run by the same family for six generations. ⚠ The address previously on file (a Proximedia hosting directory page) returns 404. No working official site found as of 7 August 2026. ⚠ A second date exists: 1997. The archive records 1871. One is likely the blendery's origin and the other the current company.

Tally’s Take
Six generations of buying other people's beer and turning it into something better. Blending is the least visible skill in brewing and the hardest to replace — you cannot buy it in, and it takes a career to learn.
