Now, the Gueuze Cantillon represents half of the brewery’s production. The brewers follow a thousand-year-old brewing tradition and promote the natural taste of a beer by using the best raw materials. The cereals they use are 100% organically grown.
 

The history and making of Gueuze beer

In the 18th century, a Benedictine monk discovered champagnisation by blending different non-sparkling white wines. It was just the beginning of discovery, as, during the next century, a Brabant brewer mixed several Lambics that caused fermentation in the bottle. And finally, the Gueuze was born. 

Before that, only Lambic and Faro beers were drunk in Belgium. The monk’s discovery of champagnisation and the Brabant brewers mixing of lambics started a new revolution. The Gueuze beer then became a hit. In fact, it was not the Belgians but Americans who noticed the value of a gueuze beer. Before it came back to the spotlight in Belgium, the demand was much higher in the United States. 

Creating this complex mixture of different lambics requires some work. Around ten lambics from different barrels need to be tasted to select the best half for the mixture. Young lambics that are one year old are mixed with old lambics, which are three years old. The bottles are then placed horizontally in a cellar for a second fermentation that takes about one year. Once the lambic has become sparkling, it has become a gueuze. 

Anecdote of cooking with Gueuze Cantillon beer

Proper beer lovers and geeks would call anyone mad to waste a good Cantillon Gueuze on any dish. Nevertheless, there is a whole recipe book about cooking with Cantillon beer!

You can find this book at Brussels Gueuze Museum, which is a museum dedicated to gueuze beer and established in the Cantillon brewery. 

The book called “La Gueuze Gourmande” was published in 1995 and only focuses on dishes that use Cantillon beers. There is a recipe called tête pressée that even requires two full bottles of Cantillon Gueuze. This book was made when the consumption of traditional gueuze was declining, especially during the tough times after World War II. This book intended to use the beer in recipes in a way that the unique beer flavour would not disappear. 

The recipe book may be forgotten now, but luckily the consumers have once again started to appreciate a traditional gueuze beer the way it is.

Gueuze beer

Gueuze is the result of a long process before arriving at the final product. It combines several techniques throughout manufacturing. One of these techniques is spontaneous fermentation.

You should already know that to obtain the final product, it is necessary to assemble several lambics which have different maturation times and even different origins.

Lambic is the basic beer needed to make gueuze. It is produced by brewing a wheat wort to which no yeast is added. Yeast is actually naturally present in the air and that is why it is called spontaneous fermentation.

For it to be present in sufficient quantity, certain climatic conditions must be met, such as precise temperatures and atmospheric pressure levels. This is why breweries producing lambic only do so at two times of the year: in March and September (note that this may vary depending on the climate).

Once the lambic has been brewed, it is left to rest in oak barrels for one to three years where it will evolve while taking on the taste of the barrel. It is only after this long process that two to three lambics are blended and bottled. Then comes a phase of rest in a hot room which will give sparkle to the gueuze.

The manufacturers of lambics are obliged to brew in the Senne valley, where the microclimate necessary for the presence of the famous yeast allowing spontaneous fermentation is found.
