Two-year-old lambic bottled 15 February 2023 in which fresh HallertauMittelfrüh hops have been soaked. A perfect balance is struck between the lambic’s natural acidity and the Hallertau hops’ refined bitterness.
Fans of an football will love the hitory that surrounds this special beer.
The Van Roy family, who founded and continue to run Cantillion, are big fans of Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, a legendary football (soccer) club in Brussels that was the most popular and successful team in Belgium up until the 1960s. Despite the fact that the club hasn’t been in first division for several decades it continues to have quite a following in Brussels and now the fifth generation of Van Roys still attend matches at the old Marïen stadium.
In 2004, the club’s management asked us to create a special beer to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the club winning its first Belgian championship. Cuvée 1904 was duly created, and was followed by Cuvée des Champions to celebrate the club’s status when it was promoted to second division during the 2004/2005 championships. Since then, seeing as the club doesn’t quite always perform like a champion, it was decided to change the name for a third and final time to Cuvée Saint-Gilloise.
