Tribute to Armand

This week we celebrate Armand Debelder @ Tørst, in the days leading up to what would have been his 75th birthday (October 26th, 2026)

A few words from the folks at 3 Fonteinen (the brewery & blendery Armand helped steward—and make flourish—from the generation preceding him to that succeeding):

“On 26 October, Armand Debelder would have turned 75. It is a special milestone fro a man whose tireless passion, determination, and craftsmanship shaped Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen into what it is today. His way of working, his love of lambic and his faith in time and tradition have left a lasting mark.”

In his honor we’ll be pouring this week:

B**rsel Blond (7% abv) Top-fermented Belgian-style blond ale brewed to Armand’s original recipe

B**rsel L***r (5.2% abv) Bottom-fermented German-style pale l***r brewed to Armand’s original recipe which was inspired by his love of Franconia

Oude Rabarberlambik (6.6% abv) Blend of young and very old lambik (weighted average more than 17 months) on which rhubarb was macerated with a final proportion of 320 grams of rhubarb per litre of lambik (kegged 10/15/2026)

And this weekend:

A Tribute to Armand: Oude Lambik 2019 (6.4% abv) Lambic brewed using 100% locally-sourced Pajottenland barley and wheat, and aged in a single foeder (served still)

From Christian Gregory of WildKolletief (importer of 3F to the US):

“Anyone who’s visited 3F will have seen the foeder with a carved portrait of Armand and his father, Gaston. This foeder was commissioned back in 2019 as a gift for Armand’s 68th birthday, and it was filled with lambik (brewed with 100% Pajottenland barley and wheat...a project he started and was very proud of) on November 28, 2019. Armand loved the gift and made a point to be there for the filling despite already being ill; sadly this was the very last time he was present in the brewery and barrel room.” 

Cheers! to Armand
