Lambic aged withstrawberries.

Brewed & Bottled by Boon

Blend of 3 year old lambics primarily aged in foeders used for the maturation of Brunello di Montalcino.

"Blueberries grow wild in the Ardennes forests. The wild blueberries are harvested in the region of Vielsalm. The Blueberries (Vaccinium Myrtillus) are added whole (no juice) to the lambic in a ratio of 40 kg to 100 liters of young lambic. This Blueberry Lambic contains only wheat, barley malt, hops and Blueberries. Not pasteurized, no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colorings."

Season 18/19 Assemblage #41. bottled on 21/12/18. Blend made with 100% lambic brewed by 3 Fonteinen from 4 different barrels originating from 5 different brews.

Lambic matured with Nectarines, 40kg of fruit for 100 liters of beer.

Blend of different lambics aged in "oude Pijpen" (650 liter barrels used to transport Porto from Portugal to Belgium, these are between 60 and 120 year old barrels).

"Oud Beersel brewery was founded in 1882 by the Vandervelden family. VANDERVELDEN 140 was crafted in honor of our founder, and is a blend of Oude Lambiek selected from 3 foeders."

"Demi-Muids are wooden barrels up to 650 liters with thick staves. The Demi-Muids at Oud Beersel , which were purchased in 2013, had previously held Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Bordeaux red wines for 9 years. Since making their way to Oud Beersel, these Demi-Muids have been exclusively used to age Lambic."

Season 2020-2021 Assemblage #1. bottled on 08/12/2020. This Oude Geuze has been blended with lambikken from eight different barrels and originating from eight different brews. More than 60% of the blend consists of 3 Fonteinen lambic, of which almost 10% was brewed with our own Brabant-grown cereals of the Finistère variety. More than 40% of the blend consists of old lambikken, of which the oldest portion was brewed in the first days of 2018."

"Beer of spontaneous fermentation, the Oude Airelle Sauvage Tilquin à l'ancienne is obtained from the fermentation of 125 g of lingonberries by liter of lambic. Unfiltered unpasteurized, this beer is refermented in the bottle."

"Finished in an oak foeder for 5 months and after that an extra finish for 2 months in smaller oak barrel, this Oude Kriek is characterised by a strong oak presence. The world famous Stevnsbaer chéries form a pleasant, mellow fruitiness that is largely supported by oak and vanilla."

"Collaboration with Mikkeler. Finished in an oak foederfor 7 months this Oude Kriekis characterised by intense fruitiness. The world famous Stevensbaer Cherries are clearly dominant, supported by touches of almond, vanilla and some oak."

"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"

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."

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."

Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #10. bottled on 22/11/2022. "For this Oude specific Geuze, we blended lambikken from three different barrels and six different brews, brewed by both Brouwerij Lindemans (35%) and ourselves (65%). More than half of the lambikken were two-year and three-year lambikken, rendering the weighted average age of the blend upon bottling to moren than 22 months. All cereals used with the 3 Fonteinen brews were sourced in our own Cereal Collective."

"Kriek Lambiek is flat due to the bottle fermentation being limited. This to maximise the fruit aromas and flavours. The content of sour cherries (Prunus Cerasus L.) is about 40kg per 100l Kriek."

"We brewed a traditional turbid mash as they would do in most Lambik breweries in Brussles to generate lots of starch for the Brett to work on slowly over a year of fermentation in our Foeders, giving a soft funkyness light sour edge with a balance of fruit forward sweetness from the apricots we added 1 month prior to packaging."
