History / Other Notes
On August 29, 2014, Tilquin posted to Facebook that the gueuzerie had received 957 kg of partially frozen blackberries from Germany.[1] On January 7, 2015, it was announced via Facebook that the first blend of Mûre Tilquin à l'Ancienne was in the final stages of being assembled.
Oude Mûre Tilquin à l’Ancienne has a chosen concentration of 35% (kg/L) fruit per liter of lambic. A total of 2,700 L were produced for the first blend. Initially, 957 kg of Loch Ness variety blackberries (Rubus fruticosus) were placed in a 2,000 L tank and topped with lambic until the volume of the tank reached 1,800 liters. Approximately 1,600 L 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 957 kg 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]
