Description
Geert Demuynck started in 1981 with the national Belgian broadcaster BRT. As a non-beer drinker, he and his colleagues went to the Koekoek in Asse where they served a flat beer (lambic) from a wooden barrel. The interest in lambic, Oude Geuze (Gueuze), Oude Kriek and derivatives was a fact. A lot of research was done, many lambic breweries were visited and participated in events.
Things picked up speed around 2006 and soon after that the guiding started.

2021 was the year when everything got even more intense. Publitasting started. In addition to his own activities, Geert was also active at Brouwerij Timmermans, Devillé and Angerik and a collaboration was started with Brouwerij Eylenbosch, which became the main activity. With its own Stekerij Publitasting, it is the intention to only develop products and make limited editions.

750mL bottle at International Geuze & Kriek Festival 2025, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of barnyard funky, a hint of whiskey barrels, and light mustiness. Flavour has a really nice barnyard funk character, subtle whiskey, and earthy leather. Wonderful funk character, finishing with only light whiskey. Beauty.

750mL bottle at International Geuze & Kriek Festival 2025, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma has gentle maple if I strain, with subtle funk, and a touch of leather. Flavour has huge bourbon notes, gentle maple, alcohol, and funk. This shouldn’t work but it sure does. A massive, boozy, funky, bourbony gueuze. Excellent.

750mL bottle at International Geuze & Kriek Festival 2025, pours a hazy copper orange with a small white head. Aroma has very soft and musty blackberry skins, a touch of funk, subtle earthiness. Flavour has a large funky character that gives way to gently acidic blackberries, leathery notes, and horse blanket. Lots of complexity, with the blackberries subtle enough to give way to the funk. Wonderful.

750mL bottle, pours a dark burgundy with a small pink head. Aroma has plenty of red grape skins, petroleum, hay, and some unusual old leathery funk. Flavour has plenty of vinous notes, grape peel, leathery notes, and some manure. Definitely some nice manure character that blends well with the grape. Unusual blend but this works well.

750ml (thx, Matt!) @ SF
Aroma: funky, woody, lots of grapes, some manure, tannic.
Taste: along the same lines, grapes are dominant with funk being in the back.
Overall: it may need some more prominent funk to be perfect, but it's still very good.
