A Belgian–Scottish Love Story in a Glass

When bold Belgian brewing meets smoky Scottish soul, something magical happens.

Box Bizar (previously Thistle) proudly presents two stunning releases celebrating that union: the Wild & Peaty Geuze and the brand-new Wild & Peaty – Geuze à l’Écossais.

The Wild & Peaty Geuze showcases what happens when a Belgian brewery lets its creativity run wild — authentic craftsmanship, reimagined through a unique cask finish and a spirited twist. This beer tells a story of collaboration, tradition, and a little rebellion against the ordinary.

And then comes the Wild & Peaty – Geuze à l’Écossais, a creation that flips the script. This box offers a bold Geuze which is matured in a peaty Ardmore whisky cask – the very one used for our Ardmore à la Belge edition. The result?
A perfect storm of Belgian funk and Scottish smoke.
The tangy freshness of lambiek meets deep, earthy whisky notes. Each sip is an adventure — a dialogue between two lands, two traditions, one shared passion for flavour.


A limited piece of liquid craftsmanship that celebrates what happens when brewers and distillers dare to cross borders.
