In 2019, Pierre Tilquin confirmed the capacity of the blendery went up to reach 575 barrels of 400 liters each, allowing him to stock about 2,300 hectoliters (1,960 U.S. barrels) of lambic, resulting in the release of about 1,350 hl of beer per year. He also mentionned that in mid-January 2019, he took delivery of some new 600-liter barrels, with the aim to replace some of the oldest 400-liter barrels at the blendery, and he acquired some 220-liter barrels as well to fill when there is not enough wort to complete a 400 liters barrel. He also bought some 500-liter barrels, with stainless steel openings on the top of the barrels, to extend his fruit experiments. <ref name=TilquinInterviewDBB> Interview with drinkbelgianbeer.com, https://drinkbelgianbeer.com/breweries/interview-pierre-tilquin-owner-master-blender-gueuzerie-tilquin</ref>.

On June 22nd, 2021, Tilquin announced on social medias that a small turbid mash brew kit has been received at the blendery and was being installed to brew their very own lambic during the next brewing season. The following day they announced that they aquired their own coolship as well, and on january 27th, 2022, the first 100% Tilquin lambic was brewed, mashing with 60% organic malted  barley and 40% organic raw wheat. After spending the night in the coolship, the wort went into two 500 liter barrels, with the aim not to replace the production of the blendery, but to experiment and eventually produce a small volume of 100% organic Tilquin gueuze, which could be bottled as soon as 2025.
