In 2011, Tilquin also introduced its first fruited lambic with the release of a very limited batch of [[Oude Quetsche Tilquin à L'Ancienne]] in 750ml bottles. The initial batch was limited to purchases at the brewery, but a second batch produced in January 2013 saw widespread release in Europe and North America later the same year. It was debuted to coincide with the 2013 [[Toer de Geuze]].
In 2012, Gueuzerie Tilquin joined the [[HORAL|High Council for Artisanal Lambic Beers (HORAL)]].<ref name=HoralTilquin>HORAL - Tilquin, http://www.horal.be/vereniging</ref> Tilquin is the first HORAL member outside of Flanders and lies just 200 meters past the language border in the French-speaking municipality of Rebecq.
