It started in 2012 as a small hobby brewery of four friends, hence the name 4Pajot. In 2018, 4Pajot brewed a first-time lambic, yielding the first-ever Geuze Gaasbeek in 2022. The mobile cooling vessel that allows the wort to search for wild yeasts on the move makes the brewery unique.

Story
4Pajot is one of the smallest breweries in Lambic Country, also one of the youngest. In 2018, the brewery ventured into lambic beer, brewing the first Geuze Gaasbeek in 2022. Since then, 4Pajot has been brewing as much - or as little - lambic every year: about 250 liters, three times a year.
Brewing takes place in Vlezenbeek, but a mobile refrigerated ship brings the wort to Gaasbeek for fermentation. That vessel is an old milk cooler on a trailer. Geuze Gaasbeek uses even older lambic than usual. Half of the blend is 4 to 5 years old, the other half 1 to 2 years.
