Season 2020-2021 Assemblage #30. bottled on 23/02/2021. "For this particular geuze, we blended four lambics brewed by ourselves and one lambik from another, fairly new small traditional lambik brewery. The lambics originate from four different oak barrels. Three of the lambics used were between 25 and 27 months on the date of bottling. One of the two-year old lambics was brewed with the Witte van Vlaanderen wheat variety, and was cultivated in Pajottenland by our Cereal Collective."

Season 2020-2021. Assemblage #49 bottled on 27/04/2021. "For this specific Cuvée Armand & Gaston, we blended lambikken from three different barrels and five different brews. Upon bottling, the average age was about twenty months. A quarter of the lambikken used were brewed with heirloom Pajot grown cereals, from our own farmers’ cereal collective. The characteristics of this geuze make it an excellent geuze for extended ageing."

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage #42. Bottled on 23/02/2022. "For this Langste Kook / Longest Boil - a special version of the Cuvée Armand & Gaston - we brewed a typical lambik wort, but with an extended boiling time. We usually boil for five hours - the highest in the lambik world and about tenfold of modern beer brewing. Now, we boiled a whopping eighteen hours. 18. Hours. After a full year of barrel fermentation and maturation, we blended with a young portion of lambik to assure continued bottle fermentation. With a weighted average age of the blend of almost twelve months upon bottling, this is a rather young geuze, but all lambikken were brewed with Pajottenland grains from our own Cereal Collective."

"The Oude Gueuze Tilquin à l'ancienne is a blend of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambic refermented in bottle for at least 6 months. "Oude" in flemish or "à l'ancienne" in french is an appellation protected by the EU and is restricted for traditional belgian gueuze in bottle."

Blend of 1, 2, 3 and 5 YO lambics from Brouwerij De Troch and Brouwerij Eylenbosch aged on Highland Whisky barrels. Limited edition of 340 liters.

"During an extended maturation of almost four years, the Lambic from Foeder 21 went through a maderisation process. This Lambic was mixed with Lambics from two other foeders of the same origin, all of which were used for white wine in the past. This creates a unique taste experience"

"Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait has an alcohol content of 8%. It consists of 95% mild lambic, aged at least three years and specially reserved for this purpose, and 5% young lambic. The latter provides the fermentable sugars and wild yeasts. After mixing in a vessel of 25,000 litres, the wort (unfermented mixture) is filtered and chilled. If we are bottling, we bring it back to fermentation temperature. The bottles are placed in a climate-controlled space for the secondary fermentation. This is followed by maturing at low temperature for at least 6 months. Want to know the bottling date? Simply subtract 20 years from the “best before” date!
The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonises with the oak barrels’ aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense. Sublime."

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage n°55. Bottled on 25/03/2022. "For this Oude Geuze Golden Blend we blended lambikken that originate from three different barrels and four different brews, with three different brewers. This Golden Blend is particular in that sense that we used two- and five-year old lambikken only, and finished it with some freshly brewed lambik wort for the push in the bottle. Since a good 60% is two-year old lambik and almost 40% is five years old, the weighted average age of this bottle, upon bottling, is more than 31 months. Add to that at least a year of bottle conditioning, and it will have reached a weighted age of more than 43 months. Compared to blend 54, this blend roughly has an inverted proportion of two- and five-year-old lambik."

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage n°57. Bottled on 31/03/2022. "For this Oude Geuze Platinum Blend, we blended lambikken originating from four different barrels and nine different brews. We used one- two- and four-year old lambikken, in a 27/30/43 proportion and finished the blend with some freshly brewed wort. This way, the weighted average age of this bottle, upon bottling, clocks at to more than 30 months. Add to that at least a full year of bottle conditioning, and it will have reached a weighted age of more than 42 months. Almost 40% of the blend consists of lambikken brewed with grains form our own Cereal Collective."

Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #11. bottled on 24/11/2022. "For this specific Oude Geuze, we blended lambikken from three different barrels and six different brews, brewed by both Brouwerij Lindemans (33%) and ourselves (67%). More than half of the lambikken were two-year and three-year lambikken, rendering the weighted average age of the blend upon bottling to more than 22 months. All cereals used with the 3 Fonteinen brews were sourced in our own Cereal Collective."

Magnum. Season 2021-2022. Assemblage n°70. Bottled on 18/05/2022. "For this specific Oude Geuze Golden Blend, we used lambikken from three different barrels and five different brews, and two different brewers. More than one third of the lambikken used is more than 48 months old, rendering the weighted average of the blend to more than 26 months. The oldest lambik was a 3 Fonteinen lambik brewed in the first days of 2018. Of the 3 Fonteinen brewed lambikken, almost half were brewed with Pajottenland sourced grains from our own cereal circle. And of the hops used in our brews, one third is of Belgian origin, and the average age was more than 15 years."

Also more than 40% of the combined hops were sourced in Belgium, with an average of 14 years of age."

Gueuze made with a blend of easy-drinking lambics

Gueuze made with a blend of easy-drinking lambics

"In the past Port wine was shipped to the harbours of Bruges and Antwerp on wooden barrels of 650 liters, called ‘pipes’ or ‘pijpen’ in Dutch. Some of these barrels were purchased by Lambic breweries and have contained Lambic for many generations. Some barrels have been circulating in other, some defunct, Lambic breweries before finding their final place in the barrel cellars of Oud Beersel. We have blended the finest Lambics of on average 20 months old matured on these ‘old pipes’ of between 60 and 120 years old, to create an Oude Geuze with the characteristics of these old barrels."

Magnum. "The Gueuze Tilquin à l’ancienne (7.0% alc / vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon. The taste is tart and dry but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze à l’ancienne particularly accessible for non-experts. It will also delight fans of the genre for its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness because of the youth of the oak barrels used, as they still release some tannins. It has a fresh lemony nose."

You'll get a random label amongst the 6 avaialble. "In 2024, 150 years will have passed since the birth of Louis Thevenet; a famous painter from Halle. To celebrate this occasion, Brewery 'Den Herberg', in collaboration with 'den AST' and 'Villa Servais', developed a 'Geuze Thevenet.' It is a unique blend of eleven different barrels of lambic, aged in old (red and white) wine barrels made out of French and American oak. Kloris Devillé from Den Herberg describes the geuze as follows: "This 'Oude Geuze' has a lively palette of flavors, much like one might find in a masterful painting. The subtly woven minerality forms a canvas on which the depth of the composition is built, while the complexity of the geuze, thanks to the former red and white wine barrels, unveils a rich and varied palette of aromas and flavors, almost like masterful brushstrokes.". Six different labels were designed, each featuring a different painting by Thevenet from the collection of 'den AST'. This allows beer enthusiasts to simultaneously enjoy works such as 'Hôtel de Bruxelles', '’t Wit Paard', 'De Weg-Om', and 'Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Halle onder stolp'. It's a little preview of the grand Thevenet exhibition, which will be on display on March 23 (2024), at 'den AST' and 'Villa Servais'.." Percentage of 3 YO old lambic is higher than in the Gueuze Devillé.
