3 Fonteinen Cuvée Armand and Gaston Oude Geuze

Name: 3 Fonteinen Cuvée Armand and Gaston Oude Geuze | Bine & Vine
Brand: Beer

3 Fonteinen Cuvée Armand and Gaston is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year old traditional lambics, all brewed at Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen. Spontaneous fermentation, patient maturation in oak barrels, and continued evolution in the bottle result in a distinctively complex beer.

No two bottlings are alike, as there are multiple variables in the blending process, a variety of barrel sizes and shapes, differences in aged lambic proportions, etc.

For this specific Cuvée Armand & Gaston, we blended lambikken from four different barrels and six different brews. Almost half of the lambikken used were three-year and four-year old lambikken, rendering the weghted average age of the Geuze blend to more than 25 months at the moment of bottling.

More than 60% of the cereals used during brewing were sourced in our Cereal Collective.

This cuvée, like all of our lambic, is 100% natural, authentic, spontaneously fermented, and crafted with steadfast adherence to tradition, like Armand and Gaston Debelder have always done it. This geuze has fermented in the bottle and will continue to develop its tastes and aromas over its long life when properly cellared.

Traditional Lambic is living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley! Taste, savor, enjoy, and experience this unfiltered, unpasteurized, and unadulterated beer with friends new and old!

Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen is one of the last traditional lambic breweries and geuze blenders in Belgium. Rooted in the village of Beersel in the Zenne Valley between Brussels and the Pajottenland, 3 Fonteinen has a firm belief of what lambic tradition looks like. That is why we steadfastly continue to create the finest authentic lambic beers – 100% spontaneous from brew to bottle – continuing with the same strict process and craftsmanship used by Gaston and Armand Debelder.

Family-owned with a team of 15 enthusiasts, we still brew in the village centre of Beersel while giving our barrels and bottles of geuze and fruit lambic time to develop in our warm room in Lot, a few kilometers away from the brewery.
