| | In Search of Lambic |
 | | The lambic-producing area of Belgium through which the Senne passes is called the Payottenland and is part of Flemish Brabant. |
 | | The Senne starts north of Brussels, then passes underneath the city, reappearing to the southwest as a small river. |
 | | Here, overnight, the wort has maximum exposure to the air and is inoculated with the yeasts and bacteria unique to the Senne River Valley: the yeasts Brettanomyces bruxellensis and lambicus, saccharomyces (cerevisiae, globosus, dairenis, pediococcus, suvarun bayanus), candida, torpulpis, hansenula, kloeckera, bacteria (entero, lactic acid, acetic acid). |
