Beersel Mattina – Multi Year 3 Fonteinen Lambic Blend

beersel-mattina

Beersel Mattina – 3 Fonteinen Lambic Multi-year Lambic / Saison blend  |  6.2% ABV

$29.99  |  750ml

Incredible Flavor & Incredibly Limited!

This beer drips with refinement and elegance.  One of the best Lambic’s you’ve never heard of!

 

A blend of New Morning and 18 month aged 3 Fonteinen Lambic refined for at least 12 months in bottle. Gorgeous citrus nose with hints of dried flowers and honey. Lasting and sapid in the mouth with a sour finish that always makes the lovers of this blend smile.

This beer could very well make you develop an addiction for spontaneous fermentation and turn your entire world upside down!

After a mechanical breakdown, 3 Fonteinen Brewery of Beersel (possibly the best Lambic blender in the world) had economic damage in the summer of 2009. The news caused such a stir in the International beer movement that I called Armand to know how things were. As he needed to sell his Lambic, I immediately got inspired to blend our New Morning with his beer. We selected three 18 month old Lambic barrels that we siphoned in a small tank on our truck. The journey back was long and hard, myself and Manuel took turns driving through Belgium, France and Italy only stopping for gas. After days hand bottling and months of maturation, the outcome has gone over and beyond our expectations and we can say with pride that it was worth it!

     Lawson’s winter holiday ale is a special bitter brewed with real sprigs of Red Spruce picked from trees at the brewery, a dash of cinnamon & fermented with an English-style yeast. This winter seasonal breaks from traditionally heavy holiday brews with a light body and refreshing zest. 

Red Spruce Bitter | 1 bottle | $7.99

Sip of Sunshine IPA Cans | 2 packs per person | $13.79/4pk

Super Session Cans | 12 cans per person | $21.99/12pk $10.99/6pk

     Multiple people have trolled online us about the $0.01 savings if you buy two 6 packs instead of a 12 pack and said “12 packs should ALWAYS be cheaper (rawr rawr rawr…)”.    We decided to keep the price down as much as possible and not raise the 6 pack price!

Limits are per person of consumption age,
prices do not include VT tax/deposit.
