This is the Brussels Beer City Podcast.
This edition of the podcast is a brief interruption to our regular broadcast schedule, as we’re not talking diaspora bars this time around. Don’t worry though, normal servicel will resume soon.
Instead, this episode is a one-off, about a very particular kind of beer that’s just about to be launched in Brussels. To mark the launch of Brussels Beer Project’s Dansaert Gueuze, I sat down with five of the people involved in making this landmark beer.
Why is it a landmark beer? Well, to get the full story, you’ll have to listen to our conversation, which took place a few weeks ago in the cellars under BBP’s Dansaert brewery in central Brussels. But suffice it to say this much by way of introduction. Lambic is Brussels’ indigenous beer tradition, and having dominated Brussels’ brewing scene 120 years ago, by the beginning of the 21st century Brasserie Cantillon stood alone as the city’s only Lambic brewer. Until BBP announced their Dansaert Lambic programme and released their first blends in December 2021. For the intervening two years, Cantillon could continue to claim their place as the city’s only remaining Gueuze producer - Gueuze being a blend of variously-aged Lambics. And now, with the launch of BBP’s Dansaert Gueuze, there are two.
But as I said, I’ll let the brewers explain it all.
It’s an episode for the beer nerds among you, and it’ a little longer than the usual format. But even if your knowledge of Lambic beer and brewing is barely skin-deep, I think you’ll find something interesting in the story behind Brussels Beer Project’s Dansaert Gueuze.
So here’s me talking to Tiago Falcone, David Santos, Jordan Keeper, Sam Fleet, and Dimirti Van Roy of Brussels Beer Project. I hope you enjoy it.

My name is Eoghan Walsh, and this is the Brussels Beer City Podcast.
My guest on today’s episode is Michiel Van Meervenne, a journalist and entrepreneur, and co-founder of the Brussels food company Kriket, making confectionary using protein sourced from crickets grown locally in Brussels,
At a central Brussels haunt from his old school days, over a Taras Boulba from local brewery Brasserie de la Senne, Michiel talks about how it took him some time to really feel like a Brussels local, why eating crickets is absurd, surreal, and very much in keeping with Brussels’ self-perception, and how suffering through the greyness of Brussels is making him feel like an old man.
Quick note for context, this episode was recorded before the Covid-19 lockdown in Brussels and the global anti-racist movement that has emerged in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.
