The story of Boon
Brewing roots in Lembeek reach back to a 1680 farm-brewery, but the modern Brouwerij Boon began in 1975, when Frank Boon took over the De Vits blendery at a moment when lambic was nearly dying out. He helped lead its revival, blending traditional geuze and kriek with modern precision.
Boon has won an unmatched run of consecutive gold medals at the World Beer Cup for its geuze.
