Cantillon Aronia
Description
Cantillon Aronia is a blend of 2-year-old lambic and aronia biodynamically cultivated by Luka Sanzin in Northeast Italy.
History / Other Notes
This beer originated from an idea of Stefano Lorenzetti, who found the aronia fruit interesting. Stefano is the owner of the shop Birre e Mundo Crudele, located in the city of Crema, Italy. He is a friend of Jean Van Roy, and they are both devout fans of the same soccer club, Union Saint Gilloise.
Aronia is a plant native to North America (Chokeberry) and the Siberian lands, containing strong medicinal properties belonging to the rosaceae family. It is a dense bush which produces fruits resembling elderberries, with a tannic and iron taste reminiscent of cranberry.
The beer was only bottled in 750 mL format. Kegs were also filled (25 x 20 Liters as well as 17 x 30 Liters) and sold to the restaurants Pasta Madre and Moeder Lambic.
