Tarts in Capitol Hill

(Geuze / Belgium / 7.8% / 25.4 oz. / Single) In the spring of 2019, 3 Fonteinen received a series of very old Oloroso, PX and Amontillado barrels through a local Jerez cooperage. The aromas were a mix of typical fine sherry notes and toasted, peated characteristics, which 3 Fonteinen have never experienced before. However, after a year of bottle conditioning – because of the higher peated aromas, albeit balanced – they decided to release this bottle not as a Zenne y Frontera, but as a peated geuze. This blend, like blend 61, comes mostly from Oloroso barrels. The weighted average age of this blend, upon its release, is almost three years old.

(New Zealand / 8.0% / 16 oz. / 4 Pack) Join us on our big wild beer journey, it begins with a hyper rush of sweetness overtaking bold punchy hops before turning off the main route towards a tart set of sour twisty flavor tunnels that invites us to rethink our relationship to the traditional double IPA.

(Gueze / Belgium / 7.0% / 11.2 oz. / Single) Vicaris Tripel/Gueuze is the perfect thirst-quencher for hot summer days. For this beer, brewery Dilewyns works together with a renowned gueuze brewer from the Zenne valley. The complex interaction between Vicaris Triple and gueuze makes this beer unique. The sharp sourness of the spontaneously fermented lambiek beautifully counters the fruity and soft Vicaris Triple. The result is a rich beer with a fresh mild acidity and a soft finish.
