The Toer de Geuze takes place on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10, 2026 . Fourteen lambic brewers and blenders open their doors across the Pajottenland and the Zenne Valley, giving the public a rare look at the craft behind gueuze, the country's most characterful wild-fermentation beer . During the Toer de Geuze you do not have to pay to visit the participating breweries, blending facilities and the beer center. ADMISSION IS FREE EVERYWHERE . One of the most interesting stops this year is Gueuzerie Tilquin in Bierghes, in Walloon Brabant. Pierre Tilquin has been making lambic blends for years, but he recently crossed an important line by starting his own small organic lambic wort production in 2022 and, three years later, releasing an old-style gueuze made from 1-, 2- and 3-year-old lambics. The production is modest — just 80 hectolitres .
