			"Frank was initially dismissive of beer and beer culture but once he realized I was speaking specifically about geuze & lambic he opened up a little. In the late 1990s, shortly before moving to Sicily to become a fantastic winemaker, Frank had been working as a wine (but also some spirits and beer) broker in London and had been expanding his territory to Japan where his wife was from. He had a colleague in Japan who was interested in distributing an exclusive blend of geuze and he recommended approaching Armand at 3 Fonteinen to construct a blend.

			Once at 3F, Frank was particularly interested in some half or partially filled barrels of 1997, '98 & '99 lambic that contained quite a bit of rich dregs and sediment for the blend. Once the blending was done, he chose the name "Selectie C", the "C" standing for Cloesjke (or "kloesjke", Flemish slang for remainders or dregs).

			Almost all of the bottles were distributed to Japan in mid-2000 where they pretty much dried up off of shelves around 2011."
