Overview
Gueuzerie Tilquin is a gueuzerie (gueuze blendery) founded by Pierre Tilquin in 2011 located in the town of Bierghes. Tilquin is the only lambic blender in French speaking Walloon.
History
Gueuzerie Tilquin is the first new lambic blending facility to open its doors in nearly 15 years. On May 28-29, 2011 owner Pierre Tilquin opened to the public for the first time introducing two new lambic blends Oude Gueuze Tilquin à L'Ancienne and Gueuze Tilquin (Draught Version). Tilquin, who holds a PhD in statistics and genetics, produces blends of one-, two-, and three-year-old lambics from Boon, Lindemans, Girardin, and Cantillon for the Oude Gueuze Tilquin à L'Ancienne.[1] While the first batch of Oude Gueuze was reportedly a blend of just one and two year old lambics, all subsequent batches have been blends of one-, two-, and three- year old lambics. The first known bottling of the gueuze occurred in December 2010 with a special label of "1er Soutirage" or first racking. Tilquin has consistently produced lambic blends in 750ml and 375ml bottles for export every year since 2011.
In 2011, Tilquin produced its first fruited lambic with the introduction of a very limited batch of Oude Quetsche Tilquin à L'Ancienne in 750ml bottles. The initial batch was limited to purchases at the brewery, but a second batch produced in January of 2013 saw widespread release in Europe and North America later that year. It was debuted to coincide with the 2013 Toer de Geuze.
In 2012 Gueuzerie Tilquin joined the High Council for Artisanal Lambic Beers (HORAL)[2]. Tilquin is the first HORAL member outside of the Flemish Brabant province and lies just 200 meters past the language border in French-speaking Rebecq.
