At TheCru.ie, we’re proud to offer a curated selection from this iconic producer, perfect for anyone seeking to explore the unique world of spontaneously fermented beers through craft beer Ireland or buying craft beer online. Based in Lembeek, the spiritual home of lambic, Boon champions traditional methods to create remarkable blends that stand out on shelves in craft beer Dublin and beyond.
Producer Background
Located in the Flemish village of Lembeek, Boon Brewery traces its roots to the early 1970s when Frank Boon took over a defunct brewery and began restoring the age-old craft of lambic production. At a time when spontaneous fermentation and oak ageing were considered outdated, Boon led a revival that helped preserve and elevate these uniquely Belgian styles. The brewery is now recognised globally as one of the standard-bearers of geuze, kriek, and other lambic-based specialties.
What sets Boon apart is its unwavering commitment to authenticity. All of its lambics are fermented with wild yeasts native to the Zenne Valley and aged in massive oak foeders for up to three years. This traditional process results in a beer with layers of tart fruit, earthy funk, and bright acidity – complex, refreshing, and endlessly intriguing. Whether you’re tasting the elegant balance of Boon Oude Geuze or the cherry-laden depth of Boon Kriek, each bottle offers a masterclass in brewing craftsmanship. Their work has inspired a new generation of brewers and drinkers alike, and their presence on TheCru.ie gives Irish beer lovers direct access to one of Belgium’s finest producers.
