Erm, may I very bluntly point out that many British breweries use open
fermenters as well, and that quite a few lager breweries in countries
such as Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic or Poland also
do make the primary fermentation to their beers in open fermenters...
So I wouldn't link "open fermenter" to "lambic" that exclusively... (
