A Geocaching Social event.
PLEASE LOG YOUR "WILL ATTEND"
Third Tuesday continues for another year. New format this year and new venues.
Our scheduled hours are always soft, the CO will usually be early and is always happy to hang around late. Frankly when we get going we often run later than scheduled.
PLEASE NOTE with your log if you do not expect to arrive until after 7:00PM, and I'll be sure to hold out for your arrival.
Gueuze
Gueuze (Dutch geuze; French gueuze) is a type of lambic, a Belgian beer. It is made by blending young (1-year-old) and old (2- to 3-year-old) lambics, which is bottled for a second fermentation. Because the young lambics are not fully fermented, the blended beer contains fermentable sugars, which allow a second fermentation to occur.
Due to its lambic blend, gueuze has a different flavor than traditional ales and lagers. Because of their use of aged hops, lambics lack the characteristic hop aroma or flavor found in most other beers. Furthermore, the wild yeasts that are specific to lambic-style beers give gueuze a dry, cider-like, musty, sour, acetic acid, lactic acid taste. Many describe the taste as sour and "barnyard-like". Because of its carbonation, gueuze is sometimes called "Brussels Champagne".
There is some debate on where the word gueuze originated. One theory is that it originated from geysa (geyser), Old Norse for gush, since, during times of vigorous fermentation, gueuze will spew out of the bunghole of its enclosing oak barrel.
