Known for Fruit Lambic

Gueuzerie Tilquin sits in Bierghes, part of Rebecq, 200 metres from the language border, and is Wallonia's only gueuzerie. Pierre Tilquin, a bioengineer with a doctorate in statistics and genetics who gathered experience at Huyghe, 3 Fonteinen and Cantillon, started in February 2009. The blendery buys freshly brewed wort from producers in the Pajottenland and Brussels, matures it one to three years in oak barrels and blends it. Every beer is spontaneously fermented.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
