Cantillon Cuvée J. F. Vonck
Description
Cantillon J.F. Vonck is a lambic that was brewed in 1990 and bottled in 1992. No additional sugar was added for secondary fermentation. Brewed under Jean Pierre Van Roy, Cantillon determined that this carbonated more than expected for a two year old bottled lambic and called it a gueuze on the label. Jean Van Roy, however, describes this beer as a hybrid.
History / Other Notes
This beer was made to pay homage to Jean-François Vonck, a lawyer and a leader in the Belgian Revolution. Vonck led a faction called the Vonckists[1]. Vonck fought for democracy including the separation between legislative, executive and judicial powers[2]. On 26 December 1789, the state of Brabant declared its independence from the Holy Roman Empire in Brussels. [3]
