3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze is an oude geuze blended by 3 Fonteinen containing lambic whose wort originated at 3 Fonteinen as well as from [[Brouwerij_Boon|Boon]], [[Brouwerij_Lindemans|Lindemans]] and [[Brouwerij_Girardin|Girardin]] depending on the era.  It is released yearly in many batches in both 375ml and 750ml bottles. It has occasionally been available in 1.5L bottles as well.  For oude geuze bottlings that contain 100% 3 Fonteinen-brewed lambic starting in 2015, see [[3 Fonteinen Cuvée Armand & Gaston|Cuvée Armand & Gaston]]

Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze is one of the oldest beers in their portfolio. Bottles dating as far back as 1959 have been opened and shared among lambic drinkers.  Old bottles with no labels have corks stating "Debelder", indicating the brewer. During the years preceding 1999-2000, 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze had been produced by blending other producers' lambic.  After Armand leased a computerized brewing system in 1998 and began producing his own lambic<ref name=“LambicLand”>Tim Webb, Chris Pollard, Siobhan McGinn, [[Books#LambicLand: A Journey Round the Most Unusual Beers in the World|LambicLand: A Journey Round the Most Unusual Beers in the World]], 2010</ref>, subsequent blends contained both lambic from Armand as well as from other producers.  It is unclear if 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze was ever bottled using Armand's own lambic exclusively.  In 2009, a failure of the climate control mechanism resulted in a massive loss of product.  This huge financial loss, coupled with the fact that the lease on the brewing system was expiring, meant that no more lambic would be brewed at 3 Fonteinen for the foreseeable future.

 +
To get the brewery back on its feet, Armand released a serious of special geuze blends to raise capital to acquire new brewing equipment. In the time between 2009 and late-2013, 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze was a blend of lambic from [[Brouwerij_Boon|Boon]],[[Brouwerij_Lindemans|Lindemans]], and [[Brouwerij_Girardin|Girardin]], with Girardin only being used through 2010. By 2013, the new brewing equipment was in place and Armand began brew again.  The first batch of 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze to contain a portion Armand's lambic after the thermostat incident was bottled on 11/27/2013.

There have been several labels for 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze over the years.  The white label documented below was used in the 1990s and early 2000s for both the US and Europe. It notes that the beer won the O.B.P Trophy (Objective Beer Tasters) in 1993. 3 Fonteinen has also used neck labels on occasion (pictured below) for larger-format bottles.

== Unsubstantiated Stories ==
+
In 2004, the labels switched over to the standard 3 Fonteinen labels seen in stores today. The U.S. versions are yellow and white, while the rest of the world sees a green and white version. Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze bottles are generally have a "bottled on" date on the side of the label as well as with a best by date twenty years away from the bottling date, both in mm/dd/yyyy format.

==Synthetic Corks==
 +
The earliest known use of a synthetic cork by Drie Fonteinen is a regular Oude Geuze 750ml bottled on February 3, 2006. The November 30, 2006 750ml bottling of [[3_Fonteinen_Oude_Geuze_Vintage|Oude Geuze Vintage]] has a synthetic cork as well as ''most'' of the February 14, 2007 St. Valentijn Cuvée bottling.  Consumers have noted that the Oude Geuze Vintage bottles with the synthetic corks have been inconsistent, with some bottles being flat and oxidized. The synthetic cork was retired from use after the St. Valentijn Cuvée bottling.

3F Oude Geuze

← 3 Fonteinen

Description

3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze is an oude geuze blended by 3 Fonteinen containing lambic whose wort originated at 3 Fonteinen as well as from Boon, Lindemans and Girardin depending on the era. It is released yearly in many batches in both 375ml and 750ml bottles. It has occasionally been available in 1.5L bottles as well. For oude geuze bottlings that contain 100% 3 Fonteinen-brewed lambic starting in 2015, see Cuvée Armand & Gaston

History / Other Notes

Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze is one of the oldest beers in their portfolio. Bottles dating as far back as 1959 have been opened and shared among lambic drinkers. Old bottles with no labels have corks stating "Debelder", indicating the brewer. During the years preceding 1999-2000, 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze had been produced by blending other producers' lambic. After Armand leased a computerized brewing system in 1998 and began producing his own lambic[1], subsequent blends contained both lambic from Armand as well as from other producers. It is unclear if 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze was ever bottled using Armand's own lambic exclusively. In 2009, a failure of the climate control mechanism resulted in a massive loss of product. This huge financial loss, coupled with the fact that the lease on the brewing system was expiring, meant that no more lambic would be brewed at 3 Fonteinen for the foreseeable future.

To get the brewery back on its feet, Armand released a serious of special geuze blends to raise capital to acquire new brewing equipment. In the time between 2009 and late-2013, 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze was a blend of lambic from Boon,Lindemans, and Girardin, with Girardin only being used through 2010. By 2013, the new brewing equipment was in place and Armand began brew again. The first batch of 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze to contain a portion Armand's lambic after the thermostat incident was bottled on 11/27/2013.

There have been several labels for 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze over the years. The white label documented below was used in the 1990s and early 2000s for both the US and Europe. It notes that the beer won the O.B.P Trophy (Objective Beer Tasters) in 1993. 3 Fonteinen has also used neck labels on occasion (pictured below) for larger-format bottles.

In 2004, the labels switched over to the standard 3 Fonteinen labels seen in stores today. The U.S. versions are yellow and white, while the rest of the world sees a green and white version. Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze bottles are generally have a "bottled on" date on the side of the label as well as with a best by date twenty years away from the bottling date, both in mm/dd/yyyy format.

Synthetic Corks

The earliest known use of a synthetic cork by Drie Fonteinen is a regular Oude Geuze 750ml bottled on February 3, 2006. The November 30, 2006 750ml bottling of Oude Geuze Vintage has a synthetic cork as well as most of the February 14, 2007 St. Valentijn Cuvée bottling. Consumers have noted that the Oude Geuze Vintage bottles with the synthetic corks have been inconsistent, with some bottles being flat and oxidized. The synthetic cork was retired from use after the St. Valentijn Cuvée bottling.

04/14/2020 750ml **PEATED GUEUZE, new round label** Non-screen printed bottle, new label. 61st blend of the 2019-2020 season. In the spring of 2019, we received a seris of ver old Oloroso, Pedro Ximenez, and Amontillado barrels through a local Jerez cooperperage. The aromas were a mix of typical fine shrry notes and toasted, peated characteristics, which we have never experienced before. However, after a yyear of bottle conditioning - because of the higher peated aromas, albeit balanced - we decided to release this bottle not as Zenne y Frontera, but as a peated geuze. This blend comes mostly from Oloroso barrels. The weighted average of this blend, upon its release, is more than three years old. The oldest lambik was brewed in the beginning of 2018. 3F OG Peated 14 Apr 2020.png
