Cantillon Faro is sugar sweetened lambic that was generally only available on cask around Brussels and at festivals (though it has not been done for years). Cantillon Faro blends [[Cantillon Jonge Lambic|Jonge Lambic]] aged for about a year with caramelized sugar adding sweetness, slight roastiness, and color. <ref name=SheltonFaro>Dan Shelton, http://www.sheltonbrothers.com/long-ago-and-faro-away/</ref> | |||
== History | == History == | ||
While Shelton describes Cantillon Faro as something which is never bottled<ref name=SheltonFaro />, Jean-Pierre Van Roy confirmed that on occasion, mostly during the 1970s and 1980s, customers would request a handful of bottles. This was done on the spot, with only a cork (so no extra cap, as candied sugar was added and drinking it very soon was required to avoid refermentation at a level that would cause the bottle to explode) and most of the time without any markings, although a label has occasionally been used and appears on a full bottle on display at [http://www.museebieresbelges.centerall.com/ Musée des Bières belges]. | |||
