Пиво Speling van het Lot XI.vi: Pruim: Mirabelle (van bij Dirk) - Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen

Blend n° 28 • seizoen 19|20 Bottle count 50 Last summer, one of our local owners of Schaarbeekse sour cherry trees, brought in 15 kilos of Mirabelle plums that we macerated on a small stainless-steel tank. We macerated these fragrant plums for almost 6 months and blended it with some young lambic to push the fruit lambic to a wonderful geuze-alike lambic beer. The lambics used came from two different barrels and four different brews. Final fruit intensity is 240 grams of plums per liter of Pruim. Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen “Speling van het Lot” (Twist of Fate) is a series of small batch experimental brews, barrel maturations, fruit macerations and blends. This 11th version features a range of plum(-like) fruit macerations. About 60 years ago, there were more than 200 ancient plum varieties in and around Belgium, now almost extinct. The ambition is to track down and experiment with such old local varieties and have them grown again with local farmers and enthusiasts.
