Timmermans Peche Lambic is a masterful expression of Belgium’s Lambic brewing tradition. Crafted by Timmermans Brewery, established in 1702 and located in Itterbeek, Belgium, this Peche Lambic is brewed with carefully selected ingredients and infused with the essence of fresh peaches. The natural fermentation process, unique to the Lambic style, uses wild yeasts and spontaneous fermentation to create a beer that is complex, refreshing, and full of character.
The addition of peaches adds a delightful sweetness and fruit-forward profile, perfectly balancing the tangy and slightly sour undertones of the base Lambic. This beer is a vibrant and accessible introduction to the world of craft beer, offering a taste of Belgium’s rich brewing heritage.
