Workshop Geuze steken
Very pleasant and tasteful workshop about blending lambik into geuze. There is much passion for their beers. It was cosy, very informative and very tasty. Great lunch aswell. First time in my life that I had oude geuze at 9:45 in the morning. That worked out well. This workshop is incidental, but they do tours on a regular base. I recommend this place to everyone who has even the smallest interest in beer. You will get a warm welcome and great beer. What more do you want?

Great place to swing by for beer geeks
If you are reading this it is probably because you appreciate lambic and gueze beers. No surprise - this is a great place to visit. If going simply to buy beer, you will find these fantastic beers, as well as several made by gueze blenders who use Oud Beersel lambics, at the best prices around. But the real pleasure is speaking to the owner, Geert, and his parents, who help out in the shop. Hours may change but it seems Saturday morning is the best time to visit. When I went, Geert's dad took me around for a tour of the place. They are not a family steeped in brewing, but a family steeped in drinking, and when this place went out of business they stepped in, learned how it's done, and started it up again. Kind of refreshing after visiting Brussels' Cantillon Brewery, also a great stop, but they are intensely aware of how good they are and not shy about mentioning it - constantly. At Oud Beersel, they are more humble, make great product but more than willing to talk about how they have learned and developed during the last 7 or 8 years that they have been running the place. Refreshing.
