History / Other Notes
On August 29, 2014, Tilquin posted to Facebook that the gueuzerie had received 957kg of partially frozen blackberries from Germany.[1] On January 7, 2015, it was announced via Facebook that the first batch of Mûre Tilquin à l'Ancienne was in the final stages of being blended.
Oude Mûre Tilquin à l’Ancienne has a chosen concentration of 35% (kg/l) fruit per liter of lambic. A total of 2,700 liters were produced for the first batch. Initially, 957kg of Loch Ness variety blackberries (Rubus fruticosus) were placed in a 2,000-liter tank and topped with lambic until the volume of the tank reached 1,800 liters. Approximately 1,600 liters of lambic were obtained after fermentation and blended with 2 and 3 year old lambic for a total of 2,700 liters. Thus, the final fruit ratio is 35% (kg/l) fruit per liter or 957kg of blackberries per 2,700 liters of lambic.[2]
In May 2015, Oude Mûre Tilquin received label approval for distribution in the United States.[3]
On July 16th, 2015 the gueuzerie received 3,000kg of fresh blackberries from Germany to begin batch two. Three 2,000 liter tanks were filled with 1,000kg of blackberries in each and filled with lambic up to the 1,800 liter mark.
