Brewery Timmermans is the oldest Lambic brewery, a family tradition and one that has been perpetuated for more than 300 years, going all the way back to 1702 when Timmermans started brewing Gueuze Lambic in Itterbeek, just a few kilometres from the centre of Brussels.
Owned by Jacobus Walravens, it was also a farm, an orchard, a café and a malt-house. In the early 20th century, Paul Van Cutsem was the sixth generation to run the brewery and son-in-law of Frans Timmermans; in his honour, the name changed to "The Timmermans Brewery”.
