__NOTOC__
== Description ==
Cantillon Chouke is a gueuze bottled by Cantillon in 37,5cl and 75cl bottles as well as 20L kegs. It consists of equal parts 1-, 2-, and 3-year old lambics with the entirety of the 2-year component being lambic aged in Armagnac barrels. It is listed as 5.5% ABV.

== History / Other Notes ==
Chouke was blended in the winter of 2016. The 75cl bottles and 20L kegs are for on-site consumption at [https://www.lesbrigittines.com/ Les Brigittines] restaurant, while the 37,5cl bottles are for on-site consumption at [http://www.pistolet-original.be/en/ Pistolet-Original], both in Brussels. Chouke was the first known lambic to be released from Cantillon that has a portion of lambic aged in Armagnac barrels. The word ''chouke'' in the Brussels dialect of French is an affectionate name given to someone special.
