Cantillon Loerik

← Cantillon

Description

Loerik is a gueuze bottled by Cantillon in 1998 and later released in 2003. The reason for the delay in release was due to the fact that the beer underwent an unusually long period in the bottle before refermentation began. It was bottled 75cl bottles and listed as 5% ABV. In 2021, a second bottling of Loerik was released after being bottled in 2018.

History / Other Notes

In 2003 and 2004, Cantillon occasionally would open bottles for brewery visitors. By 2004, bottles were being sold commercially, featuring the cartoon character Poje on the label. At a minimum, bottles were distributed to bars and stores in Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, and the United States. On July 29, 2004, the TTB approved the Loerik label for distribution in the United States.[1] The namesake for this beer, Loerik, is a slang term for lazy. This name was given due to the fact that the beer took such a long time to referment in the bottle.

In December 2016, Cantillon posted that a new batch of gueuze bottled earlier in the year was showing signs of being 'lazy' after nearly 8 months. A new bottling of Loerik was released in January 2021 at the brewery in 75cl bottles.
