It was in 1702 that the La Taupe brewery took shape on a farm in the village of Itterbeek, a stone’s throw from the church. Its original name reminds us of the region’s undulating landscape. At that time, breweries were often given the name of an animal to differentiate between breweries belonging to the same families. It was not until 1959 that the brewery was renamed the Timmermans Brewery in honour of Frans Timmermans and his wife, who focused their energy on the farm’s brewing activity. More than 300 years of brewing know-how, lambic tradition and spontaneous fermentation control, using wild yeasts, reign within the walls of this old farm and make this brewery the oldest lambic brewery in the world.
