In a 160 euro package. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of great new "hauls" from folks soon But hey it's only a 16kg box so feel free to load more into it!

I hate these volume packs. No thanks.

I hate that, for some reason, 160 euro actually sounds reasonable to me for a Framboos + raspberry garbage.

If you refresh a couple times it should let you through, it let me through, although I decided against the purchase as I'm going all day bourbon hunting Thursday

BIAB site is getting pounded

The Belgian Sour selection seems like a much better "deal" to me than the "Hey, buy all these raspberry beers we can't sell with your Framboos" package.

Come on Kurt, just charge me X% more than other sites for the bottle, don't make me ship a bunch of crap I don't want across an ocean.

...****, you're right. It's not exactly a good "deal" but it's now extremely tempting to go ahead and order that. Luckily I'm on the West Coast so I have good old customs to persuade me otherwise.

I kind of want to order the Belgian sour and Raspberry packages...... am I #newmoney?

Yes, but you're also #pringlesmoney

 

[Stevedore1]

Couldn't even get on the site to look at the packages in all of the hoopla.

It makes you sorta silly. Isn't Framboos being distributed here? It probably won't be much harder to get in stores or trade for than Homage was.

Those are my thoughts exactly. I was fortunate enough to get one on the (relative) cheap from Etre, and i'm betting i'll find another stateside as long as I pay attention.

 

[HenrikO]

Well, I got the Sour Selection, anyway. Seemed like a pretty OK deal. But man, did that site get a lot of traffic. Would have loved to have multiples of Framboos because I'm a dirty ******* hoarder and everything that is wrong with beer, but **** that noise.

 

[SirDickButts]

I'm sooooo #newmoney and I'm not afraid to admit it. I wanted the Belgian Sour Box....only because I wanted to sip on a Lou Pepe on my wedding day (4/16). unfortunately, I can't make the purchase. sigh.

 

[owens99]

I'm definitely #newmoney, too, but I don't think this deal is so bad. It's got 2 bottles that I really want (St. Lam and LPG) and several other bottles that I already know I like. Combine this with low euro and the concern that customs may be clamping down permanently and I think this totally defensible.














Note: This is just me prepping for the spousal conversation when another box arrives on our porch.

I don't ever remember seeing Hommage anywhere, but then again, that might just be due to geographical inconvenience.

 

[ASak10]

Had one of the Framboos boxes in the cart but...just could not pull the trigger. Between all the recent Crooked Stave releases and random Casey bottles I'm able to find in Denver, just couldn't justify it. Oh well, guess I'll just drink my case of Petite Sour Raspberry instead.

If I don't know what this #newmoney **** means does that then make me #newmoney by default?

1. I'm definitely silly

2. I'm in Texas with 0 lambic distribution

3. Said I wanted to. Told myself I'd decide after the gym if they were still there. Thankfully they both sold out in that timeframe so I get to save my money.

I think some have trouble differentiating between #newmoney and regular #gotmoney

I consider myself #secretmoney , because if my wife found out.... i'd be dead.

Squarely in the #fakemoney camp here...load up the cards.

[Odesseiron]

Well most of those framboises are among the best you can get and damn nice. Cost isn't too bad if you split it with a couple buddies for a tasting, in my opinion. Hoarding it to trade for some watery ass cinnamon stouts - yeah, wouldn't do that.

 

[The Red Viper]

I guess I'm the only one who got more excited about the weird De Vlier package than either of the overpriced sour packages. #belgianbeerhipster

In my defense I just came back from Belgium with a suitcase of St Lam and LPG that I paid €8 each for and so have less motivation to pay € 35 for them.

The worst thing about all of this is that this only encourages even higher pricing and even worse deals in the future. But it's supply and demand, after all..

 

[Thorpe]

That's bizarre. I have a BiaB box that was shipped Friday, and according to the BPost tracking, it's headed to NY.
In your case, I hope it's an error in the tracking site?

It's possible that it is wrong, as the first email they sent me had the wrong tracking number since it was attempted for delivery in Oakland. Maybe this second one is wrong too...
