Description
Lou Pepe Geuze is part of Cantillon's Lou Pepe series which is bottled on a regular basis. The series also contains Lou Pepe Framboise and Lou Pepe Kriek. Lou Pepe Gueuze is not a gueuze in the traditional sense. It is made from two year old lambic that has been aged in used wine barrels. To carbonate the beer, a small amount of sweet liquor is added at bottling, causing the refermentation in the bottle.
According to Cantillon's official website, "the particular name of these beers comes from the south-west of France, a region the Cantillon family is very fond of. In this beautiful region, the grandfather is called Lou Pepe."[1]
History / Other Notes
Lou Pepe Gueuze, as with the other Lou Pepe bottlings, comes with two dates. A vintage date and a bottling/cork date. They are generally two years apart, with the vintage date shown as a sticker on the bottle above the label. The earliest known vintage is 1998. Lou Pepe "Pure Gueuze" received label approval in the United States in 2004, pictured below.
Unsubstantiated Stories
Some reviews mention that there may be 375ml bottles of this beer in existence. To date, none have been shared publicly, and thus, cannot be verified as existing.
