let's tap into their story!

Brouwerij Boon started with the travels of young Frank Boon who toured Belgium in 1972 to discover the local specialty beers. Boon soon became obsessed with the Geuze and Lambic beers and started to blend Geuze himself in a small cellar in Halle. He was immensely inspired by one of the last Geuze blenders, René De Vits, and he wanted to revive the dying Geuze tradition himself.
Though René De Vits believed that the future of Geuze was bleak, Boon thought otherwise. With a heated passion for the beer style, Boon worked extremely hard to take over the business from De Vits. In 1975, Boon did it; he became an independent Geuze blender, and this marked the start of Boon Brewery!

3 years later, Boon made a conscious decision to move to Hondzocht - a hamlet that is part of Lembeek. Doesn’t the name Lembeek ring a bell? That’s right, the word “Lambic” actually originated in Lembeek. In the following years, the stock of Lambic beers rose again, much thanks to Boon.
Although many Lambic breweries weren’t doing well at the time, Boon pressed on and even started to build his own brewhouse at a new site in the centre of Lembeek. In the autumn of 1990, Boon brewed the first beer at his new brewhouse. The new brewhouse was built with second-hand equipment from older breweries, but it was still a key moment for the saviour of Geuze. Due to Boon’s perseverance, the brewery managed to kick off and earn its well-deserved reputation for producing high-quality and authentic Lambics.

Boon Brewery’s delicious brews

You may be wondering: what is Geuze? Well, Geuze is not brewed, but rather, it is a blend of Lambic beers of different ages. In 1977, Frank successfully created the perfect blend of the best Lambic beers, and a very special traditional Geuze was born - the Mariage Parfait. The unsweetened, unfiltered Oude Geuze consists of 3-year Lambic that matured in oak barrels and has notes of citrus, wood aromas, and phenolic compounds reminiscent of whiskey.

Boon Brewery also produces fruit lambic, such as the Kriek Cherry Lambic and the Framboise Raspberry Lambic. The former is tart, refreshing, and has hints of almond and citrus zest while the latter is tangy, sweet, and fruity.

Boon Brewery today

What started as the legacy of the saviour of Geuze eventually became a family business today. In 2012, Boon’s eldest son Jos joined him at the brewery. Jos had graduated as a bio-engineer specialising in brewing and malting from KU Leuven university.

5 years later, Boon’s second son Karel also started working full time at the brewery. Karel had studied Applied Economics Science at the same university and already had experience working at another brewery. Like Jos, Karel had grown up with the brewery, and eventually developed a passion and love for beer and brewing!

Today, Boon Brewery is one of the most well-respected Lambic breweries in Belgium. Boon's commitment to quality and tradition has earned the brewery numerous awards and accolades, and its beers are enjoyed by beer enthusiasts around the world.
