Zwanze 2024 - MMXXIV

Lambic - Gueuze

A little over a year ago, we were in Brittany to submerge a few dozen bottles of Gueuze in the sea as a collaboration with Sylvain, an abalone farmer in Finistère. These bottles are still fermenting at a depth of 10 meters in the company of his charming creatures. Once a month, Sylvain brings up the cages to add various types of algae for the mollusks to feed on. We tasted these same algae in tartare during our visit, and the idea came to us to try them in maceration with Lambic to create a partnership between the brewery and Sylvain's company. After several attempts, it turned out that seaweed, specifically the sea lettuce, gave the best result. The beer is, of course, very different from the fruity, vinous, or floral tastes traditionally found in our products. This Zwanze 2024 exudes aromas of exotic fruits; it has notes of iodine with a slight salinity reminiscent of oysters. In short, a very different beer from what we are used to discovering at Cantillon - a true Zwanze!

IS THIS NUMBER 1000????!!!!!!! In just over a year actually…no problem, right? If you like briny, which I do, this is incredible. What a fantastic beer. Half the Zwanze Day folks didn’t favor it.

Très spéciale et unique, un léger goût salé, un nez marin. Ce n’est pas ce que je préfère, néanmoins belle découverte!

J’ai découvert ça en draft, tellement originale que j’étais obligé d’essayer. Pour être honnête, l’odeur est vraiment forte mais plutôt agréable par rapport à ce que j’imaginais. Je l’ai bu en galopin , très spéciale et unique. Ce n’est pas mon style

Revisiting this in bottle this time. During Zwanze a few weeks ago it was on keg. The sea lettuce is very pungent, this a tide pool beer. Center bottle in photo

Weirdly I like it! It’s a love/ hate beer- big nose, quite pungent. But it grows on you, seaweed literally! Salty.

Weird and class, different and challenging but tasty like if King Crimson was a beer. You can tell it's Cantillon but the iodine seaweed Brine taste is quite unusual and I like it. I had to swallow radioactive iodine one time then be quarantined at home.

Cantillon on tap × 10! This one with sea lettuce is very interesting. Don't know how to describe this. A bit like lake water with a tart finish. Can't bieve this was submerged in the sea

It’s not Zwanze Day but I’m feeling real lucky right now. Saline and iodine are the notes that immediately jump out, but beautiful exotic fruits back the experience up. Delicious and very weird.

A lot of sea in the nose. Otherwise there isn’t much that sets this version apart. I had the feeling it was softer than what cantillon usually serves - for me that’s not a bad thing - but I still don’t really understand the Cantillon hype.

Jamais trop goûté un truc comme ca, c'est déroutant mais c'est assez bon avec un côté umami, on y revient facilement.
