09.04.2021 Your Toer de Geuze 2021
Since 1997, Horal (High Council for artisanal lambic beers) and the affiliated lambic breweries and gueuzeries of Pajottenland and the Senne valley have organized the Toer de Geuze every two years. Unfortunately, this year’s 2021 Toer de Geuze cannot take place because of the coronavirus. Don't be too disappointed, however, because the Toer de Geuze is coming to your home at www.toerdegeuze.be!
You don’t have to wait until the first weekend of May to start the Toer de Geuze. Find out about all the participating lambic brewers and geuze blenders on the map on the website! New videos are added regularly. Click here for the video about Lindemans.
