Greetings, friends!
Once again, we are thrilled to be participating in Zwanze Day 2015. An honor to be selected, we gather in Seal Beach to celebrate this wonderful, rare beer by the legendary Brasserie Cantillon.
Zwanze Day is an international, simultaneous tapping of a one-off Cantillon abbey-style beer that visits only 56 locations around the world. One of Belgium’s finest breweries, these highly sought-after beers have become increasingly hard to find.
Zwanze 2015, or Wild Brussels Stout, was brewed in March of 2013 and was originally a candidate to be served for the Zwanze Day celebration in 2014. Zwanze 2015 is Cantillon’s interpretation of a spontaneously fermented stout. Aged for 28 months, Wild Brussels Stout is a blend of Cognac, red wine, and Lambic barrels. The beer coming from Cognac barrels brings a warming alcohol character, while the beer coming from the red wine barrels has a vinous, fruity presence. The fruitiness and roast give this “wild” stout a nutty character reminiscent of wine from Madeira or Banyuls.
Sounds delicious!
In order to ensure that guests are able to enjoy this unique international event in comfort, we are offering a limited number of tickets for two separate sessions: breakfast and lunch. Cost per session is $70. Each session will include a commemorative Cantillon glass and the option to purchase a Zwanze Day 2015 T-shirt.
