Cantillon Zwanze Day 2017 at The Sovereign

The privilege of pouring their Zwanze blend each year is bestowed upon fewer than 70 locations across the entire globe, and we couldn’t be more excited to showcase this year’s offering on September 23rd. We’ll be opening the bar and restaurant at 11 AM and–along with the other participating bars–we’ll be tapping the Zwanze keg at 3 PM sharp.

The final blend is delicate and round, with notes of fruit and slight bitterness. And, since Sylvain is a huge fan of Game of the Thrones, the Zwanze 2017 graph
