    “This is a blend of a three-year-old and three-month-old lambic. 7.5 gallons of Batch 1 was brewed in 2002. Fermented in a primary, then transferred to a 7.5 gallon French oak cask. Lambic bugs were then added to the cask. Batch 2 was brewed in 2005. 5 gallons of old lambic was removed from the keg, and 5 gallons of new lambic was added back in. Three months later, 2.5 gallons of lambic was removed from the cask and mixed with 2.5 gallons of the old lambic, primed, and bottled. The remaining 2.5 gallons of old lambic was then added back to the cask.”
