Description
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 Tom Peters of Monk's Café in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Jean Van Roy.
History / Other Notes
The 2006 portion included 20 kilos of Amarillo hops that were added at the end of the boil by Cantillon with Tomme Arthur (the Lost Abbey), Adam Avery (Avery Brewing), Sam Calagione (Dogfish Head), Vinnie Cirluza (Russian River), Rob Tod (Allagash), and Tom Peters who were visiting during the 2006 open brew day.
In 2008, Jean Van Roy believed that the batch was too hoppy and agreed to let Tom make a special bottling of that batch. Tom selected 250 liters of the 3 year old lambic with amarillo hops, 500 liters of new wood 2 year old lambic, and 250 liters of 1 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 is in the gallery below.
Unsubstantiated Stories
The hand-out mentions that this is the second Tom Peters blend. Very little is known about the previous batch. If you have any additional information about this beer, please contact Bill or Adam.
