Cantillon Blåbær

← Cantillon

Description

Cantillon Blåbær Lambik a lambic with bilberries added and produced for Ølbutikken in Copehagen, Denmark. It is produced in very limited quantities and is generally released sometime during the summer. It is released in both 37,5cl and 75cl bottles and is 5% ABV.

History / Other Notes

Blåbær Lambik was first released in 2005 and has been released every year since then except 2006, and 2008. Though the word blåbær translates in English to blueberry, the fruit used in this lambic is the European bilberry which is very similar to the American blueberry. The fruiting process for this lambic consists of putting fresh bilberries directly into the barrel with the lambic.

Label and Origin

Label text:
10 years ago, shortly before we opened Ølbutikken in Copenhagen, Denmark we approached our friends at Cantillon and asked them if they would make a special beer for our little store. 50 bottles came out of that first batch.

10 years later we make the same beer once a year and this is the 10th Anniversary vintage. We are happy about our continued friendship with Jean and his family and are excited about every years [sic] new batch! Enjoy!
