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. | ||

It was debuted to coincide with the 2013 [[Toer de Geuze]]. | In 2011, Tilquin produced its first fruited lambic with the introduction of a very limited batch of [[Oude Quetsche Tilquin à L'Ancienne]] in 750ml bottles.
