Lambic Discussion Thread

[Rau711]

Guys I have a fully fleshed out business plan, I will just have to find all local references and change them to Belgium.

 

[Rowingbrewer1]

you're the ******* life of a party, aren't you?

With all due respect, that ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale getting it on with a dolphin.

 

[Odesseiron]

If it's just for blending rent some warehouse space buys some barrels and start having wort delivered. no sense in going a million in debt just for a building

I doubt Tilquin spent 1 million up front on real estate.

why are you this person

 

[sliverx]

engineer here... with some limited woodworking/carpentry/machining background. can probably get the machinery up/going/maintained.


can also serve as as QC

Millwright here so you can just be my boss.

 

[Rowingbrewer1]

[Odesseiron]

Millwright here so you can just be my boss that pretends to know what he's talking about even though i know much better what needs to happen and how to do it. I will tolerate you , though, because you share your beer.

Pretty much but some off you actually listen when we say that something isn't going to work. I share whiskey with one of the young engineers, he's one of the good ones though.

I'm in. I'll file our trademark registrations and get a patent issued on a 6-day lambic procedure.

Does your average beer enthusiast in Belgium know of Cantillon?

 

[SeaWatchman]

Does your average beer enthusiast in Belgium know of Cantillon?

Yes

 

[stupac2]

Yes

I dunno, I think that depends on how you define "enthusiast". I've definitely encountered Belgians who were into Belgian beer who didn't know what Bio Gueuze tasted like. Maybe that's the oddball, but I sort of think of it like American enthusiasts being aware of, say, Russian River. Decent odds they've heard rumors of "Pliney the Youngest", but they don't really know anything about it.

 

[Odesseiron]

Average? Yes. But when I went to Grote Dorst I met some 40-ish year old gueuze lovers from Pajottenland who hadn't even heard of Cantillon.

i know this is more about cellaring but since only lambics matter, i ask you all this

i am moving into an old house that through the basement is a large crawlspace thats insulated. its dirt floor and pretty deep. any wood in there is for the extension on the house so i am weary connecting too much to it.

anyone built a lambic celler in old crawl space? pics?

stupac2 wasn't yours a crawlspace?

 

[omgeezo]

Met a guy recently from Belgium who knew of westvleteren, beeradvocate, and lived just outside Brussels for a period of time.....he had never heard of Cantillon. Pulled it up on his phone, logo was not familiar at all.

Struck me as bizarre. Made me think us Americans covet this stuff much more than the locals.

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET ME DREAM DAD!!! *sob* Waitwut.

Or he was just playing dumb because he didn't want another American begging him for beer every time a new release comes out.

Not sure which site makes me want to throw bleach in my eyes more, RB or BA. Srs.

Yes, there's a thread somewhere, but I should be paying attention to the conference that I'm at so I can't look up the thread right now. Whoever asked that, check out my "how to build beer racks" thread, or whatever it's called.

"Looking for as many different vintages of Blabaer as someone is willing to offer. Don’t care about .375 vs .750. Willing to ship wherever. "

I did before we bought a house. It wasn't super deep but it was all backfill in there. A friend built a set of U-shaped shelves for me eventually but before that I just laid down a bunch of cardboard over the fill and put my cases down there. Eventually got rid of everything but the lambic. THe temperature always held below 68deg. I'll just put spoiler tags around all the photos so as not to clog up the forum.
