The Rarity: Brasserie Cantillon
The Replacement:: Oude Gueuze Tilquin à L’Ancienne
When it comes to sour brews, few breweries make beer geeks pucker like Belgium’s Brasserie Cantillon. Tasting their tart, spontaneously fermented lambics can be an exercise in frustration, leaving you with sour grapes. Instead, try Gueuzerie Tilquin’s Oude Gueuze Tilquin à L’Ancienne, a Champagne-like symphony of citrus and funk.
