Lambic Discussion Thread

er, what wyatt said

Who distributes tilquin? Shelton I'm guessing?

12% Imports out of Brooklyn

 

[SeaWatchman]

Errr what everyone else said.

 

[thrashD]

I'm considering one of those HORALs volume deals but don't need/can't afford all 18 bottles. If anyone would want to buy some portion of the bottles send me a message (especially someone on west coast who couldn't have them shipped direct anyway). Even after re shipping in U.S. would still be about a dollar cheaper than ordering from Etre.

I'd consider this. Perhaps if someone from Columbus also wanted some I'd pull the trigger to save on shipping. I don't want a whole lot of these.

Btw has anyone here had both 2011 and 2014 Framboos? I was curious as to what the general consensus was of the two vintages.

 

[wyatt1]

I have heard the most recent batch tastes pretty young, but it is one year lambic.

I hate to be impatient but has anyone that ordered from etre a couple weeks back when the Kriek and RdG 750s went up, gotten any status updates? This is only my second time ordering from them but the first time I ordered, I received my package in about week.

I emailed back and forth a couple times with Jonathan this week (coordinating sending my box to an east coast buddy to avoid LAX) and he's shipping early next week. Everything with his communication was very timely.

I was wondering the same thing. Shot them an email yesterday and got a prompt response telling me the box would go out today. They followed up with a tracking number around noon today. Probably just a bit backed up from that day.

Per Joana they were closed 2 days last week so that also delayed everything.

Id be interested in splitting a horal pack with someone. That'd be great actually

 

[The Red Viper]

Does anyone know if the Bzart Geuze and Kriek from the recently released set (the Biere Brut 2011 bottles) are the same beer with new labels as previous vintages of Bzart Oude Kriek and Oude Geuze, or if there's some difference?

12% Imports applied for label approval for Tilquin Mûre in both 375ml and 750ml bottles on April 16 and got approved on May 2nd. No word on if this first batch is actually coming to the U.S. or if it's in anticipation of a future batch. The front label is only slightly different.

Both of these images show up as broken links for me.

When did you close out your order? I closed out an order 2-3 weeks ago and they just sent me the tracking information yesterday.

And Tilquin just confirmed in our Facebook group that there should be 500x75cl and 1000x37,5cl of the first batch shipped to the US in June.

What's with the STEEP pricing on the 3F Oude Kriek 375ml bulk pack?

Eh? It's a pretty good deal. Best price I've ever seen on those. Comes out to a little over $10/bottle after shipping.

Cantillion Iris (Unblended Barley Lambic)

 

[LukeAleTime]

haha - yeah there are a couple of shockers there. I'll get drunk and harass them about it. Don't worry.

I'd kill for that taplist though.

 

[LukeAleTime]

Yep. Even without the loons, it's pretty special. The Boon, Rodenbach and Ducato beers are pretty exciting. Also that Temple Scarlet Sour. If it's the original batch it's like 4 years from brewing and really great. Best sour made in Australia (imo)

Yeah, I'd skip everything and crush that Beersel Morning all day. So damn good.

 

[ASUBeer]

Quick question, when the 2015 3F GeuE comes out, it will have 2 years of lambic produced by Armand, correct ?

 

[boogercrack]

and the other question is who did the blending

 

[Snarf1]

I'd kill for that taplist though.

What about this one?

 

[markgugs]

hello gentlemen

I perused the Cantillon batch spreadsheet, came up empty

does anyone know of ANY Cantillon with May 2012 label dates? would really love to find whatever I can (it's the month I got married)

My area continues to dominate the awesome culture of craft beer. Store employees this one guy who thinks he's the bee's knees. Everyone who I know thinks he's a total pile of yup. So after ranting about how cool our distributors were a few pages back, I find out that this store (which i literally shop at ~3 times a week for food, etc.) got 6 bottles of Framboos. After hearing this I asked the guy and he started complaining about the distributors, blah blah, but they were going to sample ~3 bottles of it last Saturday. (I already know he got 1-2 bottles because when I asked the manager she said that is "His cut" and what they give him for keeping him part time.)

Flashback to Saturday, 30 tasting tickets...maybe 15 people show up. Manager let me know if they didn't sell off all the tickets, they would raffle the extra bottle(s). Wait around til towards the end and ask whats the deal? I think out of 3/4 bottles of Framboos, Fou, Kriek about 1.25 were actually consumed. Everyone's favorite employee said that he opened all the bottles and that they had to be drank. Wouldn't pass out another pour, said I had to leave and come back and buy another one at a cool $15. He says that the manager (who of course isn't there) didn't know how to run things, and they weren't going to just raffle extra bottles. I left knowing he would either drink it all there, or throw a cork in it to take home and drink. Done with that place.

tl;dr Beer is the worst.
