    Abstract Belgium is known for its traditional lambic beer productions, obtained through spontaneous fermentation and maturation in wooden barrels. Lambic beer is also used to make fruit lambic beers, such as Kriek beer. Despite fruit beer being an old beer type, dating back to the second half of the seventeenth century, no research has been performed on lambic beer-fruit co-fermentation processes. Further, these beers get competition from market-driven, sweet, (fruit-)flavored ones without the co-fermentation step. This paper will first discuss a new, general fruit beer classification, going from sour fruit beers produced through co-fermentation to sweet ones without a co-fermentation step. Second, a state-of-the-art of the scarce literature on the microbiology and metabolomics of lambic beer-fruit co-fermentation processes will be given.

    Abstract Few data have been published on the occurrence and functional role of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) in lambic beer production processes, mainly due to their difficult recovery and possibly unknown role. Therefore, a novel aseptic sampling method, spanning both the spatial and temporal distributions of the AAB and their substrates and metabolites, was combined with a highly selective medium and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) as a high-throughput dereplication method followed by comparative gene sequencing for their isolation and identification, respectively. The AAB (

    Abstract Background: Pediococcus damnosus LMG 28219 is a lactic acid bacterium dominating the maturation phase of Flemish acid beer productions. It proved to be capable of growing in beer, thereby resisting this environment, which is unfavorable for microbial growth. The molecular mechanisms underlying its metabolic capabilities and niche adaptations were unknown up to now. In the present study, whole-genome sequencing and comparative genome analysis were used to investigate this strain's mechanisms to reside in the beer niche, with special focus on not only stress and hop resistances but also folate biosynthesis and exopolysaccharide (EPS) production.
    Results: The draft genome sequence of P. damnosus LMG 28219 harbored 183 contigs, including an intact prophage region and several coding sequences involved in plasmid replication. The annotation of 2178 coding sequences revealed the presence of many transporters and transcriptional regulators and several genes involved in oxidative stress response, hop resistance, de novo folate biosynthesis, and EPS production. Comparative genome analysis of P. damnosus LMG 28219 with Pediococcus claussenii ATCC BAA-344(T) (beer origin) and Pediococcus pentosaceus ATCC 25745 (plant origin) revealed that various hop resistance genes and genes involved in de novo folate biosynthesis were unique to the strains isolated from beer. This contrasted with the genes related to osmotic stress responses, which were shared between the strains compared. Furthermore, transcriptional regulators were enriched in the genomes of bacteria capable of growth in beer, suggesting that those cause rapid up- or down-regulation of gene expression.
    Conclusions: Genome sequence analysis of P. damnosus LMG 28219 provided insights into the underlying mechanisms of its adaptation to the beer niche. The results presented will enable analysis of the transcriptome and proteome of P. damnosus LMG 28219, which will result in additional knowledge on its metabolic activities.

    Abstract Belgian lambic beers are still produced through traditional craftsmanship. They rely on a spontaneous fermentation and maturation process that is entirely carried out in wooden barrels. The latter are used repetitively and may introduce some batch-to-batch variability. The present systematic and multiphasic study dealt with two parallel lambic beer productions carried out in nearly identical wooden barrels making use of the same cooled wort. It encompassed a microbiological and metabolomic approach. Further, a taxonomic classification and metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) investigation was based on shotgun metagenomics. These investigations provided new insights into the role of these wooden barrels and key microorganisms for this process. Indeed, besides their role in traditionality, the wooden barrels likely helped in establishing the stable microbial ecosystem of lambic beer fermentation and maturation by acting as an inoculation source of the necessary microorganisms, thereby minimizing batch-to-batch variations. They further provided a microaerobic environment, which aided in achieving the desirable succession of the different microbial communities for a successful lambic beer production process. Moreover, these conditions prevented excessive growth of acetic acid bacteria and, therefore, uncontrolled production of acetic acid and acetoin, which may lead to flavor deviations in lambic beer. Concerning the role of less studied key microorganisms for lambic beer production, it was shown that the Acetobacter lambici MAG contained several acid tolerance mechanisms toward the harsh environment of maturing lambic beer, whereas genes related to sucrose and maltose/maltooligosaccharide consumption and the glyoxylate shunt were absent. Further, a Pediococcus damnosus MAG possessed a gene encoding ferulic acid decarboxylase, possibly contributing to 4-vinyl compound production, as well as several genes, likely plasmid-based, related to hop resistance and biogenic amine production. Finally, contigs related to Dekkera bruxellensis and Brettanomyces custersianus did not possess genes involved in glycerol production, emphasizing the need for alternative external electron acceptors for redox balancing.

    Abstract The production of gueuze beers through refermentation and maturation of blends of lambic beer in bottles is a way for lambic brewers to cope with the variability among different lambic beer batches. The resulting gueuze beers are more carbonated than lambic beers and are supposed to possess a unique flavor profile that varies over time. To map this refermentation and maturation process for gueuze production, a blend of lambic beers was made and bottled, whereby one of them was produced with the old wheat landrace
