on tap (3.3.2023)

Eine neue Charge „Whole Lotta Wheat“ ist am Hahn: andere Zutaten, sehr bananig, sehr floral. Das ist eine gute Nachricht. Ein Geburtstagsbier wird offeriert: lambic gebraut, zur Geuze verschnitten, in der Flasche gereift. Das ergibt dann die folgende …

… Reihung: Whole Lotta Wheat, Hazy Heidi, IPA, Black IPA, Geuze, Stout.

Toch geen zo'n fan van de sneeuw en blijf je liever binnen in de warmte? Tijd genoeg om wat worsten te draaien! Voor de workshop woelige worstendraaiers maakte ik deze kippenrookworst met Geuze. Een leuk project met geslaagd resultaat! Al moet je wel opletten blijkbaar voor zijn pittigheid 🤔🤣 #kippenworst #rookworst #homemadesausage #sausagerecipe #worst #overworst #smokedsausage #chickensausage #chili #spicy #geuze #bierworst #beer #cookingwithbeer #belgianbeer #oudegeuze bee (bij Bbq Bastard's Pit Zone) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtQ4lR-B1L0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13hwuudvzhgrm

Boon’s Oude Geuze on tap at Next Door Craft Beer & Wine Bar in San Diego. A 3 of 4. A nice, solid geuze that delivers what it should in the style. Lightly tart with some nice funky complexity and some tannic notes from the oak. Not among the best in the style, for sure, but quite good.

Our new flapjack shaped mini-cakes are thin, flat and a breeze to steep. An easy to grab 8g tea for a quick session on the run. Coming soon in ripe and raw with our own house blends #white2tea #flapjacks #shortstacks #breakfastofchamps #geuze #westmalle #belgianwaffles #belgianbeers #yunnantea

Tour de Closet

Last month, the Lambic brewers of Belgium opened their doors for the biannual Toer de Geuze, a celebration of spontaneously fermented beer. There were brewery tours, special blends, rare bottles, and bouncy castles. At the same time, I was here in America worrying about the mold in the back bedroom. 

But in my closet I still have a small collection of Brussels’ finest Lambics. I randomly pulled out a dusty bottle of Cuvee Saint-Gilloise, dating back to 2012, the year we visited Brasserie Cantillon. I shredded the cork trying to get it open, but the beer is still as lively as ever. 

The cuvee is brewed every year in honor of the local Brussels’ soccer club, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. This is quite an unusual Lambic. After maturing for two years in wooden casks, it is dry-hopped in stainless steel. A typical Lambic is brewed with two, three year old hops to avoid adding any flavor to the brew. This bottle of Cuvee Saint-Gilloise is five years old, but it still has a distinctly hoppy flavor.

The bottle is positively bursting with aroma, like an old barn being swept out for a square dance -- stale hay, chalky dust, dry leaves. The flavor is sharp and metallic. It’s sour on the frontend, like a tart apricot, and bitter minerality in the finish. The bitterness and the acidity balance nicely, and the funky old yeast adds a dignified mustiness, like a cave aged cheese.

Pesto & Geuze! Or at least my interpretation of a green pesto, not the 'real' thing. Better be clear about that before the Italian food community hunts me down 😉 Basil, Rucola, sage, pecorino, pine nuts, black pepper, salt, olive oil and a big splash of lime juice. A good match with a geuze, gueuze, oude geuze or gueuze a l'ancienne. In this case a Vat79 from Boon. Pesto & geuze. Herbal freshness, mild bitter, creamy moutcoating texture versus refreshing mild acidity and dry, palate cleaning aftertaste. A good match on paper and out of experience. The Vat79 was a bit too wood focused, heavy and even a tad too sweet though. Good beer, good dish, no match. No worries though, there's always next time. And no....Spontanbasil would have been too easy 😉🌿🍝🍽 #Beer #Belgianbeer #Belgianbeergeek #Boon #Vat79 #Lambic #Lambik #Geuze #belgischbier #Pesto #Food #Beerandfood #Belgianbeerandfood #beerme #beerlove
