bottling date: 14/06/2023 · bottle count: 752. "For this lambic-braggot (= a beer-mead hybrid) 'Could Heaven Ever Be Like This', cherries and cassis mead from De Mederie were blended with young and three-year-old lambic from 3 Fonteinen in a ratio of around 50%-50%. For the name, we found inspiration in the song 'Could Heaven Ever Be Like This' by jazz drummer Idris Muhammad; a song that represents the clash of all the subtleties, funkiness, nuances and liveliness of both worlds, intertwined in this bottle. The fitting label design came from @Letterlik."

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."

Season 2020-2021. Assemblage #67. Bottled on 28/07/2021. "The Cuvée Miel is a special version of the Cuvée Armand & Gaston.

Season 2019-2020. Assemblage #85. Bottled on . on "This Doesjel was bottled on the 1st of December of 2020 and 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 in, hence the name – a local dialect for that typical little sleepy knock you get over noon. In return, with a natural-white-wine-like aroma and malty citrussy taste, the resulting beer is a subtle lambik blend, with a weighted average age of about 30 months upon its release. The oldest lambikken were brewed at the beginning of 2018. This is the first Doesjel in 75cl bottles since 2006."
