'''Cantillon Het Bier Gevaar''' is Cantillon Gueuze, Kriek and Rosé de Gambrinus with a custom label, bottled in October 2006 for the 20th anniversary of the since closed Brussels comic book store Het B-Gevaar. | |||
It was released as a signed and numbered limited edition of 150 small bottles (Kriek, 375ml) and 150 large bottles (Rosé, 750ml) - the format and amount of Gueuze bottles is unknown at the time of writing. | |||
The name is in reference to 'Het B-Gevaar', a former Brussels-based comic book store that was named after the second album in the 'Nero' series of Belgian comic strips. | |||
The label was designed by comic book artist Alec Severin, who also designed the logo for the store. Every bottle is hand-signed by him. | |||
According to Jean Van Roy, the bottles were sold out of the brewery without labels and then applied by Het B-Gevaar. | |||
Floris 'Flosh' Peiren, a volunteer tour guide at Cantillon and lifelong comic strip fan and customer of Het B-Gevaar, the store was re-named to 'Expo 58' in a company restructuring and its owner - Erik - has since passed away. | |||
All of the store's fixed assets were sold in an estate sale after bankruptcy, which is how the bottles made it out on the public market. | |||
