Where: Spuyten Duyvil, 359 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn
What: pay-as-you-go
For the past several years, Jean Van Roy, the brewer at Cantillon, the authentic lambic brewery in Brussels, has been experimenting with different blends, barrels, and fruits to see what kind of beer emerges through spontaneous fermention. In 2008, he decided to call these yearly releases "Zwanze".
This year, the 2011 version will only be available on draft at the Cantillon tasting room as well as select bars around the world chosen by Jean. You can find out more about the Zwanze beers and why Jean decided not to bottle any 2011 at the Cantillon website.
At Spuyten Duvyil, there will be a selection of sour/wild/lambic beers on draft and in bottles including the list below.
