Wow! Someone who is going to actually seek out Selection Lambic! What a brave step forward since I know there is a certain fringe group lurking around here who wouldn't even let the name Belle-Vue pass their lips. 8-)

As luck would have it, I received a packet from Interbrew just the other day. In it was a list of 44 cafes in Belgium that stock this. (I'm willing to believe that these are the only outlets too)

I wasn't able to get Hannsens products at Bieres Artisanales when
I was there. Your milage may differ. I bought mine from a bar
in Beersel. The owner(?) was more than happy to give me a lower
price (~150BF/75cl bottle I think) than the bar price.
