Cantillon Brewery is a small, family-owned brewery that produces relatively small quantities of beer per year. So, why is it so well known?

Cantillon’s brewers are the masters of the lambic beer style, which is the only type of beer that they produce at the brewery.

Lambics began to be brewed in the late 18th century in the Pajottenland region of Belgium, just to the southwest of Brussels. It’s a unique type of beer that relies on spontaneous fermentation in order to produce the beverage.

This means that once the liquid is ready to be brewed, it is left in an open container, in which bacteria and other endemic microorganisms enter, causing spontaneous fermentation to happen.

Many people describe these beers as tasting wild, fruity, sour, and/or tart.

The folks at Cantillon have mastered the process of using this process in order to create lambics. They produce around 400,000 bottles of the stuff per year, making it a product in high demand.

Cantillon makes several varieties of lambic beers, ranging from kriek lambics, which incoporated mashed fruits into the brewing process, to lambics which have been aged in oak barrels for up to three years.

While we typically drink iced coffee only with a splash of whole milk, you won’t believe what goes into making one of the strangest coffee beverages on the planet, mazagran.

This unique beverage has existed since the 19th century, when it was born in Algeria due to the ingenuity of French troops stationed in the North African city.

They wanted a caffeine boost, but because of the hot summer days and the limited availability of resources in the city, they had to be creative.

This is how mazagran, which has now spread throughout parts of France, Portugal, and Austria is born. In fact, many refer to it as the first iced coffee beverage ever developed.

Why is it strange? Mazagran isn’t your normal, run of the mill-iced coffee. It consists of a shot or two of hot espresso which is then poured over ice. Water is then added to it to make the coffee more drinkable.

What happens next? Well, it depends on what country you’re in. The French version is just coffee, water, and ice with a slice of lemon added.

In Portugal, these four core ingredients are combined, but the drink is complemented with a dash of sugar syrup to give the mixture added sweetness.

Austria takes it one step further, turning mazagran into an alcoholic beverage. The traditional version of the drink in this country has rum added to it.

What do you think? Does mazagran sound appetizing? Which country’s version would you prefer?

Muesli is basically the German equivalent of breakfast cereal. The difference is that you can easily make it at home and it can be one of the best and healthiest ways to start your day, unlike cereal. The base for this breakfast is rolled oats, along with various nuts, dried fruits, and seeds. There are no rules for muesli, and you can make it taste just as you like. Here’s a recipe for muesli that is both sugar-free and vegan, and you can even make it gluten-free!

Ingredients

This recipe simply calls for coconut flakes, rolled oats, brazil nuts, peanuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds and a flavorless oil. But, again, make it with whatever nuts and seeds you like best, or whatever you have laying around. You can also throw in dried fruit if you like!

Method

1. Try to soak your nuts and seeds the night before or for an hour in boiling water if you are in a rush
2. Dry your nuts and roughly chop them
3. Add them to a bowl with the other dry ingredients and combine well
4. Pour in the oil, toss, and put in on a cookie sheet
5. Bake for 30 minutes at a low temperature
6. Enjoy immediately with nut or seed milk, yogurt, or plain!
7. Store for up to three weeks in a glass jar
