For this Oude Geuze, we blended lambikken of six different brews and five different barrels, of which three were freshly emptied Oloroso sherry barrels. More than 75% of the lambik has aged on such barrels. We used young lambik, more than 60% of two-year old lambik and almost 20% of four-year old lambik. This way, the weighted average age of this blend upon bottling is more than 27 months. Of the 3 Fonteinen lambikken (+80%), virtually all were brewed with local cereals from our cereal collective.

Founded in 1887, 3 Fonteinen originally specialised in the blending of Lambic acquired from other breweries to produce outstanding Gueuze and Kriek beer. In 1998, they expanded and began brewing their own, however they still use beer from breweries such as Boon and Girardin to this day, making their output a true representation of the Lambic culture.
