Foeder #31 is a large oak barrel,
made between 1905 and 1908 by Bodenheim from
Kassel (Germany). It arrived at a Brussels Lambic brewery in
1919 as part of a large batch of material sent to Belgium as
compensation for “war losses between ’14-’18”. This particular
barrel remained in this old Lambic brewery until 1988 and
was then sold to Brouwerij Boon along with about 20 more
barrels. These barrels were originally used to mature
1-year-old Lambic for Oude Geuze Boon. By 1992, the barrels that
provided the best lambic were finally destined for Geuze Mariage Parfait’s production
, including #31. 375ml
