Lindemans

Lindemans is a Belgian brewery and beer brand known for lambic beers. It is based in Vlezenbeek, a village in Flemish Brabant near Brussels. The operation traces back to the Lindemans family in the 19th century, when a farm brewery began producing lambic beer. The company is especially associated with fruit lambics, which blend or flavour base lambics with fruit juice or puree.

The production relies on traditional methods used in the lambic tradition: spontaneous fermentation from wild yeasts, aging in oak casks, and blending to create gueuze or fruit lambics. Core products include Gueuze and fruit-flavoured lambics such as Kriek (cherry) and Framboise (raspberry); other varieties have included Peche (peach) and Cassis (blackcurrant). The beers are typically tart with varying sweetness depending on the fruit content and blending.

Historically, Lindemans expanded from a family farm brewery into an internationally distributed brand, helping popularize fruit lambics beyond Belgium. Today its products are exported widely and form part of the broader lambic beer landscape, alongside traditional producers in the Pajottenland and surrounding regions. Lindemans is regarded as one of the well-known names within the lambic and gueuze traditions, contributing to the international recognition of fruit-infused Belgian lambics.
