European Beers Star 2015 For Oud Beersel

Golden medal

At the European Beers Star competition in Germany, one of the largest beer competitions in the world, stekerij (Lambic blender) Oud Beersel recently won the only gold medal  for a Belgian participant !

Nearly 2,000 beers from 45 countries participated in the competition, divided into no fewer than 55 categories. Host country Germany received 20 gold medals, our country only one, thanks to Oud Beersel Oude Kriek. Thus our Belgian (and Pajottenland’s!) honor was still saved.

New casks

Moreover, in early December 15 ‘new’ wooden casks of 60 hl and 120 hl from Italy were delivered and installed in the stekerij (Laarheidestraat 230 at  1650 Beersel).

Particular was that they all had to be installed on the 2nd floor. And that was not such a simple task as you can see in the pictures below.

Lindemans presents BlossomGueuze

Leave a comment

Lindemans BlossomGueuze

Following the very successful SpontanBasil, Lindemans Brewery just presented the second child in their ‘Botanical Lambics’ family, named BlossomGueuze. They did so at the Horeca Expo in Ghent, in the presence of among others, actor Roel Vanderstukken, who also seems to be a great fan of Old Gueuze.

Lindemans BlossomGueuze“The great success of the SpontanBasil was a bit unexpected. It prompted us to think about what herbs or botanicals would still fit well with an acidic Old Gueuze. By using elderflower we produced a more subtler taste. We are confident that way our BlossomGueuze is more accessible”, tells Geert Lindemans, managing director.

Limited edition

BlossomGueuze is an assembly of two to three years old lambic aged in wood, blended with 12 months old lambic with elderflower. After fermentation in the bottle this gueuze has a golden color and combines the sour taste of lambic with the natural and fresh aromas of elderflower. Nice to know: cousins ​​Dirk and Geert Lindemans asked Thomas Locus of the awarded restaurant Bistro Margaux for advice and tips, which led to the creation of this BlossomGueuze.

This beer is once again a limited edition with 10,000 bottles (of 75cl), again provided with an excellent and artfully label. “We got many compliments about the design of our SpontanBasil bottles. So we have done our best for the new BlossomGueuze to create an equally beautiful bottle”, says managing director Dirk Lindemans.

Where you can find it? At the better beer retailers and catering businesses! Or you can come and taste it at our Day of The Old Gueuze, on saturday 21st and sunday 22nd of november!

Boon Mikkeller

Watch this! First there was the collaboration between Lindemans Brewery (Vlezenbeek) and the Danish brewers of Mikkeller – for the SpontanBasil, remember? – and now it’s Boon‘s turn!

Where to buy?

From November 6th 2015 this special Boon Oude Geuze, Bone Dry Mikkeller Selection – once made ​​in collaboration with Mikkeller, with 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic – will be sold in the different Mikkeller bars all over the world and in the Mikkeller webshop.

Later this month, Boon Brewery (Lembeek) will start selling the beer themselves, however with another label and name: Boon Black Label. And yes, this will be one of the beers we’ll serve on our Dag van de Oude Geuze.
