The Lost Abbey
San Marcos, California, USA · Est. 2006
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Duck Duck Gooze is released once every three years because that is how long the blend takes, and Lost Abbey simply accepted that as the schedule. Very few American breweries will build a release calendar around what the beer needs rather than what the market wants.

Duck Duck Gooze
LimitedGueuze
Blended from oak-aged sour blondes of three different ages and released once every three years, because that is how long the blend takes. The schedule is set by the beer.

Blended using lambic method and named for a San Francisco beer bar. One of the earliest American wild ales to be treated as a collector's object.
