Et tu, Brutus?

No Tilquin? And here I thought we were soulmates.

Tilquin, never heard of it. Is that the stuff that is supposed to taste like soured windex? Pretty sure that is a beer that should be left on the shelf and not purchased.

What do you folks pay for 3F Oude Geuze 750s if you can get it on the shelves where you are? Just curious

With the semi-recent shipment that just hit Chicago it's around $16.99-$19.99 depending on the location.

Poop. I hate Boston prices

Yeah I think it's usually $16.99 in Columbus too

You can find it in Boston for $17-$19 if you look hard. Not every store price gouges. Just most. But 3F geuze is almost not even shelf beer anymore here...

IF Shelton ever comes back to Michigan, I will be hunting down 3F like a lion hunts a zebra. I usually object to people who chase trucks, but 3F changes the game.

I honestly wish I didn't like lambic so much. My wallet is going to hate me from now on. How is anything ever going to be the same? Fuuuuuck. This is seriously better than I ever could have imagined it being.

Fresh Fou' Foune makes my tastebuds have feels I didn't know they were capable of having.

You guys...I'm srs




I want to cry right now. I know a lot of you know how amazing this is, but still.....This is so ******* good I can't even handle it. I wish we were all drinking this together.


ISO: fou foune all the time! FT: anyfuckingthingyouwant!

Did it take you 2 hours to drink it? You gotta dome that sucker and wash it down with another!

Fou Foune is a top 5 beer for me

This beer rocked my world last night!

BTW, nice bottle of Blanton's. My favorite bourbon! I drink it so much that I completed the BLANTONS barrel stave!

For those who don't know, each Blanton's bottle stopper has a letter. If you collect them all (B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S), you can organize them on a stave and have a progression of a running horse. Pretty cool!

I had no idea! I love that bourbon! It was my intro to good bourbon when I got married in 2002. I'm definitely collecting these. Did you order the stave?

Haha yeah it did take 2 hours. Mostly just cause I didn't want it to end. Easily one of if not THE best beer I've had to date.

Me too! I still can't stop imagining the smell of it.

Just wait until you have one that's been aged 6+ years

 

[black_cascade]

Isn't that the opposite of how you want to drink Fou Foune? I mean I know you can age it, but I wouldn't want to lose any of that amazing apricot flavor and aroma.

 

[Bill2]

Glad to see some love for FF, really is one of the best beers ever made

 

[Michigan1]

I have to disagree. I've had Fou Foune aged for 4 years and one aged for 7. Both had lost that awesome fresh fruit flavor. The reason I love this beer so much is for that fruit character; once that drops off, I'm just left with a world-class lambic minus the fruit!

But I suppose it's all personal preference.

I love it fresh too but when aged several years it gets extremely tart. I had a 2005 Fou Foune that ripped my mouth apart--in a good way. I'm trying to put away some of my bottles for 5+ years but man it's tough to sit on them for that long.

Does there exist a better fruited lambic than Fou Foune? I'm seriously trying to think of one.

Ugh. Someday I'll be able to suck enough dick for a FF

Have you never had it?

nooope. Missed out on a bottle on Zwanze '12 by like 5 min.

Yeah... Almost want to just buy a bottle on MBC but that makes me feel dirty.

Big Sky Kriek.

Split the cost with a friend. You'll occasionally be able to snag a bottle for $70. Worth every penny if you haven't had it. BEWARE, you'll want several cases after. This is why Belgian friends are good to have

Have you had this year's yet? It's seriously disappointing. Very little fruit flavor.
