Cantillon La Gueuze du Poje
Description
This beer was a standard gueuze labeled differently at the request of the Belgian cartoon artist Michel Louis Carpentier (who draw the label art) in order to pour it at special events he would be a part of, mostly cartoon fairs. According to Jean-Pierre Van Roy, it was done regularly for about a decade or so, starting from the late 1980s up to the late 90s or even early 2000s. Therefore, several different batches of classic gueuze were made under this label, and precise numbers are unknown even to Cantillon themselves.
