History / Other Notes
Lambiek Special debuted in 2013 several months before Toer de Geuze, though the initial labeling says it was bottled in 2012. Other labels have a bottled on date of 08/2013, so there may be at least two batches. However, these bottling dates cannot be taken as a definitive vintage. Due to the cost of printing labels and De Cam being a very small geuzestekerij, labels are often reused for bottlings until they run out and a new batch is printed. Blender Karel Goddeau has recently noted that he hopes to change this process as more and more people become interested in looking at lambic from a vintage year point-of-view.
