"Maurice is a story of passion and inspiration. Passion for the old brewing craft and inspiration from an old master brewer; Maurice Heyvaert (†). This lambic brewer taught me that lambic is much more than sour beer. The complicated brewing and fermentation process, the art of cutting up young and old lambic, the magic of the aging process. The result: a bone-dry, fresh-sour sparkling elixir that is much more than beer. It is the soul of pure brewing and my tribute to my very first mentor and inspiration. "The barrel cellar, the heart of the brewery" A traditional lambic, with refermentation in the bottle, a blend of one-year-old and three-year-old lambics."

"These particularly tasty oranges are grown in Sicily and are of the moro variety. We not only squeeze all the juice from them, but zest them first. A nice day of pressing 400 kg of oranges. Both the juice and the zest are covered with a bit of lambic in a stainless steel tank where it can start to ferment. After a couple of days, we cover them completely with lambic of at least one year old until the tank is full. This is left to ferment for about six months so the lambic can absorb all the aroma from the oranges. After refermentation in the bottle for another half a year, we get a sparkling orange infused lambic. Spoil yourself and get one while you can! Limited quantity available."

Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #13. Bottled on 07/12/2022. "For this specific Oude Geuze, we blended lambikken from four different barrels and seven different brews. Almost 55% of the lambikken have been brewed by ourselves, the remainder by Lindemans. More than 60% of the blend consist of oude lambikken, ranging from two years to more than four years. The weighted average age of this blend upon bottling clocks at almost twenty months. While blending, we added some fresh wort to push the bottle fermentation. The oldest lambik was brewed in November 2018."

Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #19. Bottled on 21/12/2022. "In April 2022, a few of our team went to the Basque Country on a culinary trip. At a lunch at the Asador Extebarri, we met up with Marco Tinessa, winemaker-owner of the magnificent Ognostro winery, Campania, Italy. After a few tasty bottles of wine and geuze, we decided to work together. For this small batch Druif, we macerated Fiano pomace for a tad over two months, before blending and bottling. We used three-year old lambikken only, rendering the weighted average age up to 36 months. The final fruit intensity is 300 grams of Fiano pomace per litre of Druif. "

Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #47. Bottled on 17/02/2023. "We met with ‘JF’ Ginglinger for the first time at the harvest of 2019. Armand opened some of this Gewürztraminer Macération for the team, as he was blown away by the unfiltered and complex wine. A warm friendship between 3F and JF and his family grew from that special moment… For this Druif, we macerated Ginglinger’s Riesling grapes on selected three- and five-year old lambik. We macerated the organic grapes for five months and on an oak barrel. The weighted average age of the blend is more than 39 months. The final fruit intensity is 307 grams of Riesling grapes per litre of Druif."

Season 2022-2023, Assemblage #25. Bottled on 11/01/2023. "For this small batch Pruim Mirabelle x Oloroso, we macerated hand-picked Belgian Mirabelle plums for four months on three-year and four-year old lambik, before blending with more of such old lambik ànd four-year old lambik. The oldest lambik was brewed in January 2019 and was later on matured on an Oloroso barrel from Josefa Perez. As this old portion (and barrels) covers a considerable part of the lambik volume, the resulting weighted average of this blend is more than 34 months. The final fruit concentration is 328 grams of Mirabelle plums per litre of Pruim."

Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #67. Bottled on 09/05/2023.

This bouquet of sherry lambikken originate in total of ten different original barrels and nine different brews. The weighted average age of this blend upon bottling is a staggering 40 months. More than 1/3 of the lambikken was brewed with locally sourced Pajottenland grains. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #70. Bottled on 16/05/2023. "For this specific Zenne y Frontera, we blended not less than seven barrels of Oloroso from the Josefa Perez bodega. Situated in one of the oldest quarters of Jerez de la Frontera, in the shadow of the Iglesia de Santiago, most of the barrels were sold in 2006 to Urium. Today, the family keeps a low inventory of barrels and sherry to provide us with. We used lambikken originating from seven barrels and eleven brews; more than 60% of the cereals were grown in Pajottenland. The weighted average of this blend upon bottling was about 36 months. A small part of the blend was bottled on magnums."

"This Gueuze is a traditional blend of young and old lambics.Just as a young larva develops for years within oak wood to eventually emerge as a beautiful beetle, this lambic undergoes a prolonged aging process in oak barrels to be enjoyed as Gueuze. Fermented, aged, and bottled on the farm."

"The Greeks Hooi Geuze is a blend of lambics of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 years and a maceration on fenigreek seeds. The result is a full-bodied geuze with the taste of fenigreek seeds, according to some a light nutty flavor. Fenugreek originally came from Mesopotamia and is a plant from the legume family. It is used as a culinary herb and as a spice and is also found in cheeses and now also in Publitasting Grieks Hooi Geuze."

"Kriek 2021 with Merlot grapes. During the 2021 cherry harvest, we processed 3 different varieties of cherries. This blend mainly contains Noordkriek and a small amount of Kelleris. This from local growers in the Antwerp region, a fruit region that has almost completely disappeared but has recently seen some new initiatives. The maturation took place in ex-Bourgogne and ex-Bordeaux casks. The Merlot we used is the barrel aged version of our Pet Bière 2021. After a period of 9 months in an ex-Bourgogne and ex-lambic barrel. The name of this beer was chosen just a few days before the sale, after a difficult period for many of us. 2022 will go down in history as a Bloedrood (bloody red)/gitzwart year. And also a tribute to the healthcare sector that has given blood, sweat and tears."
