Timmermans brewery, Protected monument brewery in Itterbeek, Belgium.
Description
Timmermans is a protected brewery in Itterbeek specializing in lambic beer production. The building contains large wooden fermentation vessels and copper brewing equipment that show how the beer is made throughout the facility.
History
The building began in 1702 as a farm with a small brewery called Het Molleke. In the early 1900s, Frans Timmermans transformed it into a specialized brewing operation that continues today.
Culture
The brewery follows traditional lambic methods where beer develops through spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts from the surrounding air. This way of working has shaped Belgian brewing tradition for generations and remains visible in the daily fermentation processes.
Practical
Visitors can book guided tours to explore the brewery and taste different lambic beers. It is wise to check opening times and visit requirements in advance, as this is an active production facility.
Did you know?
The lambic beers are aged in wooden barrels for three years, during which natural fermentation creates complex flavor profiles. This extended maturation time is crucial to the distinctive taste that lambic beer from this region develops.
