Gueuzerie Tilquin is the first new lambic blending facility to open its doors in nearly 15 years. On May 28-29, 2011, owner Pierre Tilquin opened to the public for the first time, introducing two new lambic blends [[Oude Gueuze Tilquin à L'Ancienne]] and [[Gueuze Tilquin (Draught Version)]]. Tilquin, who holds a PhD in statistics and genetics, produces blends of one-, two-, and three-year-old lambics from [[Brouwerij_Boon|Boon]], [[Brouwerij_Lindemans|Lindemans]], [[Brouwerij_Girardin|Girardin]], and [[Brasserie_Cantillon|Cantillon]] for the Oude Gueuze Tilquin à L'Ancienne.<ref name=BB&T-TIlquin> [http://belgianbeerspecialist.blogspot.com/2011/05/gueuzerie-tilquin.html Belgian Beer and Travel Blog - Gueuzerie Tilquin]</ref> While the first batch of Oude Gueuze was reportedly a blend of just one and two year old lambics, all subsequent batches have been blends of one-, two-, and three- year old lambics. The first known bottling of the gueuze occurred in December 2010 with a special label of "1er Soutirage" or first racking. Tilquin has consistently produced lambic blends in 750ml and 375ml bottles for export every year since 2011.
