The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 2009 by Pierre Tilquin, Gueuzerie Tilquin was born out of a deep respect for the historic, spontaneous-fermentation traditions of the Senne Valley. By blending young and old lambics in oak barrels, Pierre has built an internationally revered reputation for precision, balance, and complex acidity.

How it is made

Gueuzerie Tilquin is the first and only lambic blendery in the French-speaking Wallonia region of Belgium, sourcing wort from top producers like Boon, Lindemans, and Cantillon. The beer is aged in oak barrels for up to two years alongside fresh plums before bottling.
