Brewery John Martin & Brewery Timmermans, with roots that trace back for centuries, proudly presents the Timmermans Strawberry Lambic. This beer stands as a testament to the art of traditional Belgian brewing, combined with the infusion of fresh fruit to create a beverage that's both refreshing and complex.
Lambics are a special category of beers that hail from Belgium. What sets them apart is their spontaneous fermentation process, where wild yeasts from the environment are used, giving lambics their characteristic sour profile. The Timmermans Strawberry Lambic is a shining example of this age-old tradition, with the added nuance of strawberries that infuse the beer with their natural sweetness and aroma.
The brewing journey of this lambic is one of patience and expertise. After the primary brewing phase, the beer is left to mature in oak barrels. It's during this maturation that the beer undergoes secondary fermentation. The introduction of whole strawberries from Huber's Orchard in Starlight, Indiana, during this phase ensures that their essence permeates the beer, resulting in its distinctive strawberry aroma and flavour.
