You had to be baiting for a debate with this one. Can we not call other beer styles by their original name unless we completely follow the traditional processes? Is it a pilsner without decoction for example?
Unless you have a coolship, it's not Lambic. That is all. Thanks.
I bet you correct spelling mistakes too.
If you need a coolship to make a Lambic, what's the point of having BJCP categories 17D and 17F. There would be very few if any entries. The guidelines say nothing about having to use coolships or needing to be spontaneously fermented.
If you really want to get technical just using a coolship does not make it a lambic....self'd
I guess that makes Anchor Steam a lambic.
Guessing you don't know what a coolship is. It's different from an open fermenter.
I forgot the BJCP guidelines are the end all be all of beer knowledge.
weirdboy said:Guessing you're wrong. I do know what it is, and the whole reason it's called a "steam" beer is thanks to the evaporation from the coolship they used.
They may not be, but if they can call it a Lambic, then so can I.
Not getting your point with the link. Also, you could potentially be more anal retentive if you corrected everyone's spelling and grammar as well, but it would be a stretch.
OK, I've had enough of this troll thread.
It's ok to be wrong, it happens.
To avoid you trying to pull this "I won because the other guy quite BS":
I'm not wrong you are just narrow-minded and foolish. I'll bet your rectum is so tight that you poop diamonds.

Stop calling it Lambic!
Just about every style of home brew does not meet a certain geographic criteria. Berliner Weisse not in Berlin well I guess it's not a Berliner Weisse then. West Coast style IPA brewed on the East coast, you're out. Flanders Red/Brown, Saisons, lambic, blond, Belgian anything really, we'll that's out of the question. English ales, the list goes on. But I personally would rather call it a lambic than a pLambic any damn day of the week. It's time to get off the high horse.
But not every style has a "Protected Designation of Origin" or similar designation. Kolsch does. As does Lambic, Gueuze, and all the associated beers. I believe Berliner Weisse is on the list, but I'm not positive.
But most of those designations only apply in the host country. It doesn't apply to us. USA USA USA!
argyle said:Dude! How did you know that I call it Lambic?
I thought the only two people who knew that was my wife and me!
By the way, I can name it what I want to, it is mine after all.
Do you carry it around in a lambic basket?
argyle said:Hey! That would be swell accoutrement. Definitely will have to look into one of those.
Just a fancy way of letting the wife know it's going to be a "special night"
argyle said:NO DOUBT!
BTW - I bet your coolship is not as cool as my cool ship.
