Zwanze Day 2026- DeCicco's Sleepy Hollow

We are incredibly honored to host Zwanze Day 2026 this year at Decicco’s Sleepy Hollow (The Hollows) on Saturday April 25th

Brasserie Cantillon orchestrates a worldwide event featuring beer made specifically for a few select accounts around the world for a simultaneous toast of this year’s featured beer. This magical fun day is known as Zwanze, a word that refers to a sarcastic style of humor, often noted in the specialty beer’s playful nature and ingredients. This year is unique where we will have two distinct Zwanze beers.

"We worked with three young men who began producing vermouth in the traditional way four years ago under the name Vermouth Sullivan. Paul, Florian, and Vincent created a different elixir for each of the two Zwanze Cantillon beers.

Artémis La Blanche is a blend of an elixir made from gentian, coriander, rhubarb root, juniper, sage, angelica, wormwood, and many other herbs blended with Lambic.

Artémis La Rouge is a blend of an elixir made from verbena, marjoram, rose, apple, curry plant, wormwood, and many other herbs, blended with Kriek.

Both beers have an alcohol content of 7%.

The name Artémis was chosen for this beer because of its connection with absinthe, or Artemisia, a plant that is an essential ingredient in the herbal, plant and root infusions used to make Vermouth. Artémis is the goddess of hunting and nature in Greek mythology."

Due to the limited amount of Zwanze beer, we will be offering tickets to guarantee you a pour. Tickets for Zwanze pours will be capped at 160. You will not need a Zwanze ticket for admittance, just for a pour of the two Zwanze 2026 beers. Tickets go on sale Saturday 3/28 at 10:00AM Tickets are $50 + Eventbrite fees and include:
