About the beer

Brasserie Cantillon’s lambics are considered “young” after 1 year of aging in oak barrels and reach the zenith of their maturation at the end of 3 years. The young beers provide the natural sugars necessary for the second fermentation in the bottle, and the three-year-aged beers contribute their bouquet and refinement to the blend. Cantillon Gueuze Lambic Bio is thus the final result of a complex blend of various lambics with different years of aging in oak barrels. The beer’s maturation happens slowly and naturally. When the lambic beer gains carbonation, we have the famous Gueuze. The master brewer tastes and selects about 12 beers of different ages and barrels and, from those, chooses between 5 to 6 to produce Cantillon Gueuze. Every year, the beer produced is slightly different from the previous year’s; the spontaneous evolution of each beer makes it impossible to control and create exactly the same beers with each production. This edition was bottled in Dec. 2022 and can be stored for 20 years or more.

In the 18th century, a Benedictine monk named Dom Pérignon discovered the *champenoise* process by blending different still white wines. About a hundred years later, a brewer in the Belgian Brabant blended various lambics, resulting in a secondary fermentation in the bottle, and the Gueuze was born!
