Frank Boon, who started as a blender, is considered by many to be the leading revivalist Lambic brewer in Belgium today. Boon is remarkable for making completely traditional products, and yet having the softest and most drinkable Lambics. They are tart and crisp, but with none of the acidic bitterness that some of the traditional brewers have made their mark of authenticity. Boon believes that Lambic does not have to be harsh to be genuine.

“The Lambic family are not everybody’s glass of beer, but no one with a keen interest in alcoholic drink would find them anything less than fascinating... They are the meeting point between beer and wine. In Lembeek itself, the revivalist Lambic-brewer Frank Boon makes an aromatically fruity, almost lemony, unblended product ... Boon is unique in that he is a young outsider ... who has come into a craft where many practitioners are contemplating retirement. ****World classic.”

“Even before I drink a Gueuze I get an intense feeling of anticipation. It is the champagne of the beer world ... Of all the imported Gueuzes I have tried, Boon’s most closely resembles the samples I drank in Payottenland ... It is as if (Boon) stuffed a piece of the Belgian countryside into a bottle and shipped it overseas.”
