"We Lindemans do things a little differently than everyone else." - This is the motto of the Lindemans family, whose difference has always been a mystery. Is it the southwest wind? Is there something in the air? Or is it the nearby Senne river that makes the Lindemans such extraordinary people? We don't know whether none or all of these factors play a role. What we do know, however, is that the Lindemans brew excellent beer and that's enough for us.
From farmer to brewer
The Lindemans have always owned a farm. Every year, this required all the Lindemans' energy resources for three seasons. In spring, summer and autumn, every hand was needed to sow, water, weed and harvest. In winter, however, the farmer's life was a rather dull affair. Accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the rest of the year, the agricultural work of the winter was not enough to keep the farmers busy. So a job had to be found to bridge the gloomy and cold winter days. What could be better than brewing the most delicious, most nutritious of all drinks, beer? That's exactly what the Lindemans thought and tried their hand at part-time brewing. This activity, originally intended as a winter pastime, turned out to be a good way to earn a living and gradually replaced the Lindemans' agricultural efforts. Luckily, because that means we can offer you their fabulous beers like Lindemans Cassis here and now!
Fruitastic
Framboise and Kriek are just two of the delicious fruit beers in the Lindemans range. Fruit beers are a Belgian specialty that sell far beyond the borders of Belgium. The special thing about these so-called lambic beers is that fermentation is not brought about by the targeted use of yeast, but by the action of wild yeast. The beer is put into an open vat, where free yeast from the air then combines with the beer. You then have to wait for the yeast to ferment spontaneously. This cannot be controlled and sometimes takes quite a while. But good things come to those who wait, and that is also the case with Lindemans beers. And so we treat ourselves to a Geuze and toast the Lindemans, who are so kind-hearted that they see their employees as adopted family members.
To us, you are all Lindemans!
