Brouwer’s Café is honored to announce that we have been selected to participate in the Tilquin Fruit Extravaganza. There are 20 participating bars around the United States and only a few on the West Coast. The nearest event on the West Coast is in Santa Cruz! Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 12th and plan to join us.
What is the Tilquin Fruit Experience? Modeled after Cantillon Zwanze Day, It is an event that honors the blending of lambic from Pierre Tilquin of Gueuzerie Tilguin. We will be receiving 5 unique beers that have never been on draft in Washington. What follows is a list of the beers we will have pouring:
Framboise- New larger scale batch prepared for Tilquin Fruit Extravaganza 2021-2022, with 220 gr of organic raspberries per liter of lambic, in a blend of 50% of 1 year old Meerts and 50% of 1 and 2 years old lambics. First time served on October 23, 2021.
Peche
New larger scale batch prepared for Tilquin Fruit Extravaganza 2021-2022, with 200 gr of organic peaches per liter of lambic, in a blend of 50% of 1 year old Meerts and 50% of 1 and 2 years old lambics. First time served on October 23, 2021
Sureau
Beer of spontaneous fermentation, the Old Sureau Tilquin is made from the fermentation of 125 g of elderberries by liter of lambic. Unfiltered unpasteurized, this beer is refermented in the bottle.
Myrtille Sauvage
The Myrtille Sauvage Tilquin à l’ancienne (6.6% alc/vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the fermentation of frozen wild blueberries in young lambics, blended with 1, 2 and 3 years lambic to reach a final concentration of fruits of 200 gr fruit per liter. This is a different version from the Experimental Draft Versions #1 and #2, as no Meerts lambic was used to lower the ABV of the blend. Served for the first time as a premiere at BxlBeerFest 2019 and sold at the blendery from 6th-7th of September
Cassis
The Cassis Tilquin à l’ancienne (6.3% alc/vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the fermentation of frozen blackcurrants in young lambics, blended with 1, 2 and 3 years lambic to reach a final concentration of fruits of 200 gr fruit per liter. This is a different version from the Experimental Draft Versions #1 and #2, as no Meerts lambic was used to lower the ABV of the blend. Served for the first time as a premiere at BxlBeerFest 2019 and sold at the blendery from 6th-7th of September
