What makes lambic beer unique is that it ferments spontaneously. The wort cools down in a shallow copper tray in the attic where it comes into contact with airborne wild yeasts.

You can wander through the barrel store, with its heady and musty aromas, where it will ferment for up to three years. Tasting is an education. You will be offered the slightly tart Gueuze, a blend of old and new lambics, and the sweeter Kriek beers, blended with fruit.

This is a fascinating and evocative museum, offering a rare insight into traditional brewing methods.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24087 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24077
In the 18th century the Assembly Rooms would have been packed with guests dancing, playing cards, tea drinking, talking and flirting. Today, at the monthly dances both experienced and novice dancers can waltz and quickstep around the Ballroom to a live band. Afternoon tea and refreshments are available.

This may be the most atmospheric dance venue in England. The next dances are on 13th September and 11th October.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24077
