New location? My place.

 

[ridglens]

I'll be the tall dude in a blue shirt and black cardigan acting all hard on Talkbeer through my phone. Let's split a bottle or two!

Hey man, thanks again for the 50n last weekend, soooo good! Sorry they closed the bar before i could return the favor.

It was a pleasure meeting you and chatting over great beer, hopefully we can do it again some day!
Cheers!

 

[Odesseiron]

No worries man, pleasure was all mine! Hope you had a nice trip, was nice relaxing with you guys for a bit. Tell me if you're ever in Norway and we can split some bottles

 

[BeerMeBrah]

Was there two weeks ago and all the bottle limits were the same. Had 50N4E there and was honestly pretty disappointed. Was nice to say that my first FF experience was at the brewery though!

Also no stile nacht reserva this year for sale, met kris(sp?) from de dolle at cantillon on Friday, place was empty at 10:30 so jean opened some new bottles

I can also confirm Jean/cantillon will be donating again to Brews for New Avenues 2015, sept 12 in pdx

Deetz on new bottles

Lol, he doesn't even have names for the 2 bottles he opened yet. But maybe they will make an appearance at the Brews auction, we shall see.

Does cantillon stock those clay jugs almost year round, or do they frequently run out?

They've had something both of the last two times I've been there, but they might not have the color/size you want.

Color and size are not a thing of importance to me. Really more of a collector piece. does anyone regularly use them as a serving vessel?...

I don't! Afraid to break it. Also seems weird to serve water out of it, and I'm not big on decanting.

I was there a few weeks ago and they had two different types.

we sort of do... if we are drinking a bunch of things we'll usually pour a little of everything into the jug as we go and then finish the night by drinking the cuvee. as long as you don't pour in the stouts or the whiskey (clintonpuckett ), it's usually better than you'd expect and pretty fun.

Anyone been by recently or heard anything about St. Lamvinus 2014. I need a bottle, but not for myself...

 

[Odesseiron]

Went to Moeder before Christmas, they said St. Lam is "a few weeks away". That's all I've got, sorry.

 

[andrewdrinks]

I was at the brewery today and this year's St Lam is on sale now - bottled 22-24th Oct 2014, limited to 3 per person. No Vigneronne to takeaway yet, so I assume it's still being labelled.

Fou Foune is just about still on sale but now limited to 3 per person - down to the last 30 or so cases. Lou Pepe Gueuze (2011 label) was on sale for a while today - again, 3 per person limit - though they ran out of labelled stock during the day.

Went today, no more Fou Foune but St Lam and Lou Pepe Gueuze still available. Didn't have a chance to ask about Vigneronne but it wasn't there yet.

Vig will be another couple of months according to someone on RB who asked JVR.

Hi Andrew.

*waves*

 

[Digita7693]

Anyone interested in possibly meeting up and sharing a few bottles on Thursday February 5th?

cheers
Don

#FirstWorldProblems:
My Belgian mule won't be able to go to the brewery until end of Feb. Wonder if there'll be any St Lam left by then?

yeah first world for sure,

 

[Trevorjk]

Judging by the amount of bottles of St Lam. It will probably be available until February. Vig will still be a few weeks to months away. JVR said the bottles just are not quite ready.

Hey Belgian/European guys, where do you get shippers? A buddy in Belgium wants to send me some stuff and I'd love it if he could just throw it in a 12-bottle styro shipper rather than having to box it all up himself. But finding that on my own is non-trivial.

 

[andrewdrinks]

12-shippers are non-existent here. Last time I shipped a box, I had to buy individual champagne shippers and packed them into a bigger box. Your best bet might be to send him a shipper first yourself.

 

[Quatz]

I actually don't know if they have these in Belgium. You can get a lot of packaging material at ava (http://www.ava.be/verpakken/) but I'm not sure they have styro shippers.

Where'd you get the champagne shippers?

 

[andrewdrinks]

Macfarlane Packaging in the UK - not much help to a Belgian though, as they don't ship outside the UK. (I was home at Christmas so had some delivered then)

That's where I bought my packaging materials when sending stuff back but I didn't see styro shippers at either of the 2 stores I went to.

Those champagne shippers were great! If i could buy those particular ones regularly I would.
