What is "gueuze"?
Gueuze is a type of beer that originates from Belgium and is known for its unique sour and funky flavor. It is made by blending young and old lambic beers, which are spontaneously fermented beers that are brewed using wild yeast and bacteria. The young lambic beer is typically around 6 months old, while the old lambic beer can be up to 3 years old. The blend is then aged for several months or years in oak barrels, allowing the flavors to develop and mature. Gueuze has a tart and sour taste, with a pronounced funkiness that comes from the wild yeast and bacteria used in the brewing process. It has a dry finish and a high carbonation, which gives it a refreshing and effervescent quality. Gueuze is often enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with rich and flavorful foods such as stews, cheeses, and charcuterie.
