  Payottenland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Payottenland (in Dutch: Pajottenland) is a part of the Flemish Brabant province west of the Brussels Capital Region.
The Payottenland is farmland, with occasional gently rolling hills.
It's land that has historically provided food and drink for the citizens of Brussels, especially Lambic beers, which are only produced here and in the Senne valley where Brussels is located.

Brewed only in a small part of Belgium called Payottenland, lambic is the most mysterious and seductive of beers.
Its earthy, perfumed aroma, and crisp, wine-like acidity often leave people asking "Is it really beer?" It is. In fact, lambic is oldest style of beer still commercially produced—it has been around for at least 400 years.
Lambic brewers deliberately expose their wort to the air so it can be inoculated (infected?) with airborne wild yeasts and bacteria unique to Payottenland.

Blenders came around in the village, testing the different pipes, and choose those they thought to be of enough quality for blending purposes.

 Book Review: Lambicland
The micro-organsims necessary for the produciton of lambic are endemic to the Zenne valley in Belgium, so it is only produced in a relatively small area in and around Brussels, mainly in the Payottenland to the west and south of the city.
In a slim volume, the three authors present an introduction to lambic beers, an overview of the brewers and their beers and finally a guide to the lambic cafés of the Payottenland, the area around the west and south of Brussels where most lambic brewers and cafés are to be found.
The introduction is necessarily brief and to the point, explaining a little of the history of the style and how it's brewed.

It means 'little bastards,' and has been applied more recently to those young men living in the poor quarters of Brussels who have flemish-speaking fathers and french-speaking mothers (or vice versa).
St. Pieters brewer Bernard LeBoucq identifies strongly with the 'little bastards'; he is a French-speaking Bruxellois, brewing in the heart of the Flemish Payottenland.
The Sint Pieters brewery is the smallest commercial brewery in Belgium, but it is growing quickly.

 Lambic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coolship, where the wort can be infected with wild yeasts
Lambic is a very distinctive style of beer brewed only in the Payottenland region of Belgium (southwest of Brussels).
Similar beers produced outside of this area are usually known as "Lambic-style" or "Plambic" (short for "pseudo-lambic"), although this is purely a voluntary distinction made out of respect to the original.

Lambic is a style of beer brewed only in the Payottenland region (southwest of Brussels in Belgium).
Other lambic beers produced outside of Payottenland are known as Lambic-style.

 VINUM, The Story of Roman Wine, An Interview With Stuart J. Fleming, Author of VINUM
Fleming: There are several fine books of the history of Belgian beers and, since that is very much a Medieval story rather than a Classical one, I really lack the expertise to do anything more than brew and savor my version of the likes of Orval and Chimay.
But there is a lot of common ground between the natural chemistry of fermentation used today in the centuries-long production of lambic beers of the Payottenland valley west of Brussels and that used by the Romans two thousand years ago.
In both instances, no laboratory-prepared yeasts strains are/were involved, only whatever yeast spores (of which there seem to be dozens of kinds) that capricous breezes might carry from surrounding fields into the brewer's and vintner's fermentation vats.

Lambic Land covers part of Belgium's capital, Brussels, plus an area to the SW of it called the Payottenland (Pajottenland in Dutch), in the Belgian Province of Flemish Brabant (Vlaams-Brabant).
This essential book is packed with original material on around a hundred bars in Lambik Land, including full details on how to get to them, along with information on accommodation.
Based on its pedigree, see below, and a proof read of the biggest section of the book, "The Lambic Cafés of Payottenland", I knew that the book was going to be excellent, but my perception of it was staggeringly enforced when I got a copy in my hands on the day of its launch.

 REVIEW : Some Beer Basics
One of the more unusual ales made in Belgium is known as lambic.
Lambics are fermented in wide, shallow, open fermenters which are left uncovered to be fermented by wild, air-borne yeasts which are unique to a group of farming villages known as Payottenland, which is in the western part of the Brussels area (so don't try this at home!).
The resulting beer has a slightly sour, tart taste that isn't for everyone, but I really like it.
