Lambic on Film
If you’re a beer lover, you must have heard of lambic beer. It’s a type of beer that’s unique to the Brussels region, and is made by fermenting the wort with wild yeasts. The result is an acidic and sour beer that’s unlike any other. But did you know that lambic has made it to the big screen as well? Yes, there are some movies out there that celebrate this unique beer style.
One such movie is “Pajot Harvest,” a documentary that follows the annual harvest of lambic ingredients in the Pajottenland region. The movie takes you through the process of gathering the wild yeast and other ingredients that go into making lambic beer. It’s a fascinating look at the age-old traditions that have led to the creation of this unique beer style.
Another movie that features lambic is “Beerfest.” Now, this is not a serious movie. In fact, it’s a raunchy comedy that’s full of beer-related jokes. But in the middle of all the silliness, there’s a scene where the heroes stumble upon a hidden cellar filled with lambic beer. The scene is a love letter to the unique taste of lambic, and it’s sure to make you thirsty.
