Cantillon Monk's Café Cuvée De Monk's Gueuze is a special gueuze blend that includes amarillo hops and 50% lambic from new oak barrels. The blend was hand selected by Jean Van Roy and Tom Peters of [http://www.monkscafe.com Monk's Café] in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. | |||
== History / Other Notes == | == History / Other Notes == | ||
During an [[Cantillon Public Brewing Sessions|Open Brew Day]] in the 2005-06 season, Cantillon added 20 kilos of Amarillo hops at the end of the boil after a discussion with Tomme Arthur (the Lost Abbey), Adam Avery (Avery Brewing), Sam Calagione (Dogfish Head), Vinnie Cirluzo (Russian River), Rob Tod (Allagash), and Tom Peters who were visiting. | |||
In 2008, Jean Van Roy believed that the 2006 brew was too hoppy and agreed to let Tom make a special bottling using that batch. Tom selected 250 L of the 3-year-old lambic with Amarillo hops, 500 L of new wood 2-year-old lambic, and 250 liters of one year old lambic. | |||
At a Monk's Cafe Mad Monday event in August 8, 2011, a hand-out was available explaining the available beers. The description for this beer was provided by Monk's Cafe on this handout and can be seen in the gallery below. | |||

The hand-out mentions that this is Tom Peters's second gueuze blend. It is unclear if Tom Peters is referencing a previous batch or an entirely different gueuze. If you have any additional information, please contact [[User:Matthew|Matthew]]. | |||
