V Generations is a celebration of Belgian brewing passion that spans generations and continents. For blending day, two families came together, contributing their collective expertise and energy to the brew: From Belgium, Brasserie Cantillon’s Jean-Pierre Van Roy (who took a day off from retirement to lend his decades of experience), alongside his son Jean Van Roy and grandson Florian Van Roy; and from Philadelphia, Monk’s Cafe’s Tom Peters, side by side with his daughter Isabel Thomas-Peters. The result, a gueuze blend of ~~four-year~~, ~~three~~-year ~~and two~~-~~year aged~~ barrels, is the ~~fruit~~ of a long friendship, and a toast to generations to come.

The blend makes for a special Gueuze with deep character and surprising freshness, especially considering the age of the selected lambic. This has a soft, pillowy mousse from the elegant carbonation level.

The label is designed as a family tree with each family's initials for Cantillon-Van Roy and Thomas Peters. This was bottled with very little sugar, so the carbonation level will be elegant, like ~~champagne~~. This has been bottle aged for over a year. '''Bottled on November 22, 2022.'''"
