I've heard from a few folks about what law is being implemented in regards to the Lambic breweries being hassled/closed. Please follow this link to an EU word document. http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/lip/latest/doc/2003/com2003_0033en01.doc It basically covers what is and is not hygenic. I haven't gone through the whole document but from what I understand is wood does not cut it. I don't want to go down this road to far as I see something similar happening here in the future...
