One of the best so far. 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze bottled in February 2004. Surprisingly fresh and full of life for its age!

The oldest bottle in my little collection -- a 37 cl bottle of 3 Fonteinen Geuze beer from 1984, almost 40 years old! It's been in my cellar for about 30 years.
I think I'll keep this one for a special occasion.

Next, some vintage 3 Fonteinen. Three 75 cl bottles of Oude Geuze bottled in 2004 and eight 75 cl bottles of Oude Kriek bottled in 2005.
The lambic that these beers are blended of is brewed with spontaneous fermentation and several years of aging in oak barrels before blending and bottling.
For the Kriek or "cherry" beer, sour cherries are added into the barrel during aging.
If you're interested in knowing more about how these fascinating beers are made, 3 Fonteinen have some great articles on their website ( www.3fonteinen.be ).
