Cantillon's Non-Involvement
==Cantillon's Non-Involvement==
At the [[The_Lambic_Summit_2010|The Lambic Summit]] in 2010, Jean Van Roy, Armand Debelder, and Frank Boon along with Dan Shelton of Shelton Brothers Importers came together for three-hour ticket dinner and discussion. Of the topics discussed, the work that HORAL does was brought up and addressed by Jean Van Roy. Part of what the TSG favors is the use of specific nomenclature as it pertains to labeling products. With regard to lambic, the TSG approved several terms to be protected under the lambic umbrella. Notably, along with each set of terms comes a list of rules that must be followed in order to use terms such as "Oude", "Vieux" or "Vielle" (old) on labels.
JEAN VAN ROY BASICALLY TELLS YOU ALL TO FUCK RIGHT OFFThough Cantillon is not a member of HORAL, Van Roy notes that it is "a very good idea" with good breweries as members, but that also in the association there are "some lambic breweries who don't produce traditional lambic or they produce a few; 1% or less than 1% of the global production" and that "Cantillon don't [sic] want simply to sit at the same table [as] those breweries". This is also due to the fact that HORAL members are required to use the protected nomenclature set forth in the TSG. To this, Jean Van Roy has two main concerns. First, he notes that the food industry is too influential and the pressure to follow the large companies is too much. Secondly, he notes that his ancestors traditionally produced a beer simply called "gueuze" and wonders why he must change the name. He questions "why don't modern breweries change the name to 'modern gueuze', 'fake gueuze' or 'industrial gueuze'? It's always the tradiotonal one that gas to change the name."
