A collaborative gueuze by The High Council for Artisanal Lambic Beers incorporating 1 to 3 year old lambics from: Boon, Hanssens, Mort Subite, De Torch, Lambiek Fabric, Eylenbosch, Den Herberg, Lindemans, Timmermans, Tilquin, De Cam, Oud Beersel, and Kestemont. Blended and bottled at Brouwerij Boon.

Handpicked strawberries macerated in 18-month lambic for 5 months and blended with 3 year old lambic before bottling.  488g of fruit per liter of lambic.  969 bottles produced.

Blended with lambics from 5 different barrels and originating from 6 brews. About 35% of the lambics were Oude Lambic at the time of blending.  A relatively young geuze when bottled 12/23/2021.
 

All of the Lambic in this special blend was brewed at 3 Fonteinen (they often blend in other lambics brewed by others & aged in 3 Fonteinen's cellars). Armand DeBelder blended this to honor his father Gaston in late 2015, released in 2016. This was my favorite beer at the 2018 Nacht van de Grote Dorst (Night of Great Thirst) Lambic Festival held every two years.

An Oude Gueuze blended from eight different lambics matured in five different barrels.  The oldest lambik in this blend was brewed in 2016.

Bottled December 1, 2020 6.5%abv  This was intended to be an Oude Geuze.  Because of the high proportion of older lambikken, the fermentation did not continue in the bottle and the blended lambik beer remained flat.  The yeast dozed, hence the name.  The resulting lambik blend is subtle with natural white wine aromas and a malty citrussy taste.  The oldest lambikken in the blend were brewed in the beginning of 2018.

Lambic aged in oak casks for more than a year are transferred to a stainless steel vessel. That's where Jean adds 200 grams of raspberries per liter of beer.

I enjoyed a 20 year old bottle a few years back and it has lost all the fruit flavor, but was still an excellent Lambic.

A collaboration of Brian Grossman of Sierra Nevada Brewery & Vinnie Cirluza of Russian River Brewery. We served this at a beer dinner with Russian River & Sierra Nevada back in 2012.

This has evolved into a bone-dry ale, with sour notes of lemon and a hint of barnyard funk.  Aged in our cellars for 10+ years.
