If I remember correctly, this is the oldest brewery still in Brussels. They make the beer now basically the same way as they did 100 years ago. They have a few different lambics on offering, but they taste nothing like Lindemann's or Mort Subite. These are seriously sour beers, even the Kriek, which I've only had extremely sweet prior to this. It was cool walking around the brewery which is very small and looks like it has never been cleaned. One thing I noticed in the keg room were some kegs with stickers that said Monk's on them. I inquired and apparently they make a special beer to export to Monk's Cafe in Philadelphia. I'm gonna have to visit that place. They said the owner comes to Belgium a few times a year. The beer on the left is the Kriek and on the right is the Geuze

wonder if it's related to the "Monk's Sour" we had at George Keeley's. That was pretty good...don't know if you remember it
it's in the same category, but this is much more sour. i really liked that Monk's Sour
