1) Apparently Uerige has a distillery (http://www.uerige.de/produkte/). One can google translate one of their pages to learn:
"Since 2007 finishing this specialty in our DESTILLERY continues: from 250 liters Sticke distillation we 12 litre STICKUM. The Feinbrand then 70% alcohol and before the storage in Steingutbehältern to 62% diluted."
So, they're distilling their really awesome beer, great, sweet, incredible. There is a story about how a lambic producer had a thermostat go out and spoiled, like, a billion gallons of gueuze and thought it was the end of the historic brewery as there was no way to come back from such a loss and then was like, wham-o! I'll distill this and sell for a billion dollars to nerds in America. I met a kid who worked at Monk's Cafe who had tried it and said it was, um, sweet (as in cool).

2) In other news, let's all be aware that B. United is distilling Schneider's Aventinus; http://www.bunitedint.com/information/brands/description/291/
