Lindemans: the Magic of Lambic Beers
Show notes
Lindemans is one of Belgium’s oldest and most respected beer brands. Its lambic beers are world-famous, and the business has been run by a member of the Lindemans family for six generations – for almost 200 years.
Join host Nate Cairney as he delves into the Lindemans story, which is fascinating and fraught with adventure, persistence, happy accidents and innovation. You’ll also learn more about an incredible – almost magical – process known as spontaneous fermentation, in which the success of a modern brewing operation relies on harnessing something…invisible.

Rochefort: the Power of Place and Silence
Show Notes:
Inside the walls of the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy, located in the beautiful Ardennes Forest near Rochefort, Belgium, Trappist monks brew the Rochefort 6, 8, and 10 beers. But other than a small sign and a few dusty bottles behind one of the abbey windows, visitors might never know that this is the place that produces some of the most legendary beers in the world.
This “silent approach” makes the quest to unravel the magic of Rochefort even more compelling. Join host Nate Cairney as he travels to a beautiful part of Belgium to seek a deeper understanding of the mysteries behind Rochefort – including why what you don’t see is sometimes the most important thing of all.Helpful Links:
