3 FONTEINEN Lambic Geuze - 750ml
Product Details
Blend of 1, 2, and 3 year old lambics. A true Geuze - a blend of 1, 2, and 3 year-old lambic, unfiltered and unpasteurized, and aged in the bottle for at least a year after blending. Refermentation in the bottle gives this Geuze its famous champagne-like spritziness. The lambic that goes into it is brewed only with 60% barley malt, 40% unmalted wheat, aged hops, and water, spontaneously fermented by wild yeasts, and matured in oak casks
BREWERY INFO
Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen
Originally established in 1887 as a café and geuzestekerij - a place where old and new lambics are blended to create geuze - 3 Fonteinen was acquired by Gaston De Belder in 1953, who later expanded it to include a restaurant. In 1982, ownership was passed down to Gaston's sons Armand and Guido.
In 1998, the company purchased a brewery installation and began incorporating lambic produced by other breweries, such as Boon, Girardin, and Lindemans, in addition to their own lambic, to make their geuze. 3 Fonteinen is now among the limited number of remaining geuzestekerijen.
