Guezue is one if my favorite beer styles and I like the fruit lambics that skew toward the sour/lactic side. We just started getting New Belgium products in Flirida this past year so hopefully we will see some of the limited release stuff soon. Ginger syrup. . . Have done homemade in the past with basically a demerara simple syrup with a couple of inches of juliened ginger root steeped in the pot. Now I usually use a commercial Jamaican ginger beer syrup concentrate called "Sir Henry of Morgan's Valley" where ginger syrup is called for. I get it at a Caribbean grocer. It makes a very good ginger beer at 1 part syrup to 5 parts soda. Now enjoying a Mai-Kai Barrel 'O Rum mixed up old-style courtesy of Swanky with half the juice allotment as the version currently served at Mai-Kai. Much more of a rum barrel and less of a juice barrel done this way. "If you keep on drinking rum, the world will soon be quit of a very dirty scoundrel."
