TBT when I was doing hood rat shit with my friends.

I cannot recommend this @brouwerij_boon Gueze Discovery Box enough. A large part of me wants to get into blending and this box only increased that desire. Trying four unblended lambics from different foudres is the closest thing a non-blender will get to pulling nails in a barrel room.

#tbt to a properly paired dinner @thesovereigndc of moules frites and Gueuze. I’ve had this classic pairing before, but this time I opted for an older Gueuze that would have a more prominent funk character. I chose the oldest bottle of Gueuze Tilquin à l’Ancienne (2013-2014) listed on the cellar menu. There was still enough acidity in the balance to bring out the sweetness of the muscles, with an added earthy, barnyard component for complexity. It probably helped that I was already having an enjoyable night, but this pairing seemed extra special at the time.
