3 Fonteinen Cuvée Armand & Gaston (S18/19 #39)

REGION: Beersel, BEL
SIZE: 375ml / ABV: 6.4%

This specific Cuvée Armand & Gaston was made with lambikken from three different barrels and comes from three different brews. So every ton has a different age. 45% semi-old and aged lambikken. Average bottling age was 20 months.

Dating back to at least 1883, 3 Fonteinen is an iconic lambic producer with a serious cult following. The name 'three fountains' refers to the hand pumps used to serve the three types of lambic at the inn. The business was almost ruined in 2009 after a faulty thermostat resulted in 80,000 bottles of cooked lambic, many exploding, resulting in huge financial loss. We're thankful that 3 Fonteinen is still here to this day and producing some of the most highly sought after lambic in the world.
