Good beer requires love, craftsmanship… and patience. And that certainly applies to lambic beers. The first lambic was brewed in April 2019 and immediately started maturing in oak barrels, but tasting the “new” Eylenbosch Oude Gueuze and Oude Kriek was only possible after years of patience, in January 2021 when the first production was ready. We called it Oude Gueuze Prematuurke because it was not yet made entirely with Eylenbosch lambic. On May 19, 2022, we blended and bottled our first Eylenbosch Oude Gueuze with 100% Eylenbosch lambic, and it has been for sale since October 2023.

This lambic beer was produced using traditional methods and is a blend of 1, 2 and 3-year-old lambic aged in oak barrels and foeders. After bottling this blend, it undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. Beer of spontaneous fermentation. Unfiltered. Non-pasteurized.
