Season 19/20. Assemblage n°37. Bottled on 11/02/20. This Golden Blend has been blended with lambics from three different barrels and five different brews. The lambics were brewed by three different breweries. It is one of the first blends in which lambic brewed by Brouwerij De Troch in Wambeek was used. The oldest lambic was brewed in early 2016.

"In Gooik's fields ripen the most beautiful apples, those appels ferment together with lambic to this Pajotse cider. This variety of apples gives an intense extra flavor to the lambic that is fermented on wooden barrels. 45kg on 100 liters young lambic."

"The Mûre Tilquin à l’ancienne (6.0% alc/vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the fermentation of fresh or frozen blackberries in young lambics, blended with 1, 2 and 3 years lambic to reach a final concentration of fruits of 260-300 gr fruit per liter."

"Barrel-aged wild blond beer with elderflower. Once a year we brew a special blend for Dauw. After initial fermentation, when sugars are still present, we infuse the beer for one day with freshly picked elderflower. This results in an overwhelmingly aromatic beer, which becomes more rounded after long barrel aging. By mixing 3 years of vintages, we bring a lot of complexity to the beer. The young barrels add bitterness and floral scents, whereas the older barrels add ripeness and soften the character. Dew is a nice sour beer with rich elderflower, green pepper and citrus. In its aftertaste you can find the soft bitterness and the long lasting tones of spring blossom aromas." BBD is 18/02/2024

"Doorn is a barrel-aged wild dark beer with 160 g/L local black berries. A vinious, sour and rich beer filled with aromas of coconut, vanilla and dark fruit. Aged for 30 months on oak barrels. Doorn is an extremely limited single barrel release." best before is 18/11/2023

"Grondslag is a bière de coupage composed of our oldest and best barrels. It is created to let you experience the natural flavours of barrel-aged beers, without additions and without carbonation. This really brings out the texture of the beer. Grondslag is a beer close to our core; a beer that shows the power of blending and the purity of aging." best before is 07/10/2023

"Wild dark beer aged on pino sherry barrels. A festive and luxurious beer with sour and sherry like flavours. Made to enjoy during the holidays and to share. Jubel has aged for 18 months on wooden barrels." BBD is 27/08/2023

"Mills Brewing make beer with minimal modern intervention, relying on local wild yeast cultures and the influence of nature to ferment. Little Earth Project is a small and unique brewery in the Suffolk countryside using a variety of sustainable practices to brew small batch, predominantly oak aged wild and sour beers. Mire was brewed in August 2019 with LEP’s homegrown malt. It fermented for sixteen months in cider barrels with both brewer’s house cultures. The resulting beer was dry-hopped with whole leaf Goldings before seven months maturation in bottle." Botlted in December 2020.

Oude Kriek made with 100% Schaerbeekse cherries.

BA blond sour beer (Zure van Tildonk) aged with sour cherries and then aged six more months in Whiskey barrels from Brouwerij Het Anker.

"Barrel-aged wild ale with damson plums. Gekwetst is a winelike beer with an outspoken fruity character. This second batch contains four times the amount of fruit as the previous, with strong, juicy sour notes as a result. The nose has candy and stonefruit, while the finish is dry with a mild bitterness. Gekwetst was aged on a single barrel for 21 months, but its barrel character is very subtle, keeping full focus on the damsons. Highly recommended for people who enjoyed our beer Fabel."

"Higher ABV lambic aged in whisky casks from Goulden Carolus."

Season 2019-2020, Assemblage #12. Bottled on 13/12/19."For this Hommage iteration, we blended about one third of kriekenlambik with two thirds of frambozenlambik, both macerated on stainless steel. The weighted average maceration time was four and a half months. While macerating and blending, we used lambikken originating from 4 different barrels and 6 different brews. The final fruit intensity amounts up to 413 grams of fruit per litre of Hommage. Finally, we added some honey just before bottling. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

Season 2019-2020. Assemblage #74. Bottled on 02/09/2020. "For this Schaarbeekse Kriek, we macerated locally grown and manually harvested sour cherries for almost fourteen months in wooden barrels, with both one-year and two-year old lambik. The final fruit intensity is about 350 grams of Schaarbeekse per litre of finished Schaarbeekse Kriek. The average age of this beer upon release will be around two-and-a-half years. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

Season 2020-2021, Assemblage #15. Bottled 13/01/21."This is not “any” Oude Kriek, this is Zéér Oude Kriekenlambik. Instead of using one- and two-year old lambik for maceration and blending, this time we used 36% three-year old lambik (yes, like in more than thirty-six months) and 58% two-year old lambik.
The lambikken come from twelve different barrels and eleven different brews. This blend consists of 60% 3 Fonteinen lambik. The final fruit is at 340 grams of sour cherries per litre of this Oude Kriek."

"Brassée durant l'automne 2019, elle a ensuite maturé 16 mois en fut de chêne dans lesquels la flore de levures et de bactéries ont permis de développer une acidité naturelle et de délicats arômes vineux mis en avant par une effervescence légère. Enfin, la maturation se termine après 10 long mois supplémentaires passés en bouteilles.
Elle nous rappelle le temps qui passe, les années écoulées, le monde qui change. Elle nous donne envie de ralentir le temps pour apprécier les moments de joie et de partage et les immortaliser. "

"For this collaboration with Vino di Proceno, they came to bring us their white wine lees straight from their vineyard in Italy! We added some Petit Manseng pomace and left the beer to rest for a year in barrels. A pure hybrid creature!" BBD: 05/08/2024

Pastry Sour brewed with cherries and lactose and then aged for 6 months in Burgundy Pinot Noir barrels. BB is 20/20/2023

"Aoltbeer is the historic beer of Münster. The beers in this blend matured on average for 14 months in red wine barrels. In this time the beer developed its fruity and wine-like character. To this small batch no. 11-2021 we added locally grown "Hauszwetschge" plums. This luscious beer let you feel the last rays of the summer sun. Product with taste evolution in the bottle."

Lambic infused with pine buds. Bottle referemnted.

Season 2020-2021 Assemblage n°18 bottled on 25/01/21. "For this small-batch Frambozenlambik we macerated raspberries from Ferme Framboos for three months on one- and two-year old lambik from two different barrels and two different brews. We bottled the frambozenlambik as such, straight from maceration to bottle; no lambik was added. Don’t panic if this beer is a bit on the flat side. It is intended to be this way. The weighted average age of this frambozenlambik upon bottling was more than twenty months, and final fruit intensity is 350 grams of raspberries per litre of Frambozenlambik."

#015 - "In september 2020, we went to the Champagne region where we picked up freshly pressed pomace of the 7 champagne grape varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Petit Meslier & Arbane).

"Ale Aged in Oak Barrels with cherries. In this blend of Funky Blender we added fresh, whole fruit at rate of about two pounds per gallon to our base beer. Each barrel is carefully hand picked to ensure it will pair perfectly with the whole fruit we are using while keeping the funky flavor. The unique lemon and lime aromas that come from the base barrels of Funky Blender harmonize with the whole fruit added."

"Flavor King pluots, what else needs to be said? This variety is literally the King of Flavors! The blend delights from the start of the pour. Pink foam that not only drops off the kids for the birthday, but then sticks around for the flavor party. What? Does anyone read these? Classic Colorado plum aromas in the nose just remind me why I love plums so much, I hope we can get more this year. Low/medium acidity and rich body that makes one think it's actually sweet. All hail the Flavor King."

"This 2 barrel blend was made with organic Red Haven peaches at a rate of 4 pounds per gallon. Big body and funky peach juiciness."

"Our previous 2-Year fruited Méthode Traditionnelle blend, So Last Season: Montmorency Cherry, spent an additional year in fresh Family Jones Rye Whiskey barrels. Colorado Alfalfa Honey was used as the priming sugar for bottle conditioning."

"Our previous 2-Year fruited Méthode Traditionnelle blend, So Last Season: Red Globe Peaches, spent an additional year in fresh Family Jones Rye Whiskey barrels. Colorado Alfalfa Honey was used as the priming sugar for bottle conditioning."

"Meager Portmanteau is a blend of Primitive's three-year, MT spontaneous beer refermented with juicy Colorado peaches, and Cellar West's oak aged Meager - a funky little table saison with Colorado grain. The marriage of these two (one mature & complex, one young & lively) fashions a delightful blended beer representative of both breweries' makeup. Delicately tart, laden with notes of ripe peach & oak, equal parts carefree & complex. The blend was given delicate Orange Blossom Honey from Bee Squared Apiaries to naturally condition and develop in green, corked & caged 750mL bottles for many months. Meager Portmanteau is finally ready to share! We love the honey’s delicate floral addition to the already intense bouquet on the nose.?."

"BBP's first Lambic blend, brewed at Dansaert. We teamed up with David from Verger du Nord. His spontaneously fermented cider contained all heirloom varieties, 70% pears & 30% apples. Blended 50/50 with our one year old lambic (fermented in Bordeaux barrels) & aged together in a chestnut foeder for 6 months before bottling."

"Crimson is our kriek framboise blend. We aged 1 year old spontaneously fermented beer on 830 grams per litre of sour cherries for 6 months. Before bottling we blended another Spon beer aged on 300 grams per litre of raspberries with the cherry beer. The final assemblage of 75% Cherry beer & 25% raspberry beer transcends both their individual selves. "

"Hard Graf is a collaboration with friends Hannah & Shane from Spontaneous Deuce. A blend of L&L spontaneous fermentation beer with their Armagh Apple Juice blend of 50% Lord Lambourne, 20% Laxton Superb, 20% Katy & 10% of an unknown variety. This Graf cider blend co-fermented & evolved in neutral wine barrels for 18 months. Notes of Rosemary, Sage, Dried Black Limes & a hint of smokey Mezcal. Truly unique & pleasantly weird! Bottled on 18th April 2021."
