Cantillon Soleil De Minuit
Description
Cantillon Soleil De Minuit is a lambic with 300 grams per liter of cloudberries added and bottled exclusively for Akkurat in Stockholm, Sweden. For the first batch, fresh cloudberries were added directly to the oak barrel with two year old lambic poured on top. The process was repeated for the second batch using frozen cloudberries added to a single oak barrel. It is available in 37.5cl, 75cl, and 1.5L bottles.
History / Other Notes
Soliel de Minuit made its debut in 1999. It was released to Akkurat in three sizes, all of which came with a paper wrapping the bottle. Due to Sweden's alcohol control system, Systembolaget, the beer was not available to go. In 2013, after many rumors, Soleil de Minuit was made again and again sent to Akkurat. A third batch was bottled in 2015 and released in celebration of Akkurat's 20th Anniversary.
Unsubstantiated Stories
Some have reported that Systembolaget did sell a small quantity of the original 1999 batch through the Swedish alcohol stores.
