Anyone else start getting this advert or am I late to the party? I've been looking(not very hard) for that style for a while...

Started showing up in my feed yesterday.

Just met a dude in a Wendy's parking lot 2,000 miles from home for something other than a *******. Batch 1 Cuvée René:

 

[Beerontwowheels]

How long does etre let you leave items in your cart?

Nothing is 'protected' just because you move it into your cart. If you wait too long to make the purchase, there is the chance that the bottles will be unavailable when you're ready.

Had these last night with halo4one and a couple others.
We set up the share to do a blind tasting so we put the bottles in brown paper bags and one person labeled the beers 1-5. Number 4 (which happened to be Blauw) exploded when we opened it and foam went everywhere. All the Drie bottles had a lot of pressure in them and could have easily taken someone's eye out.

After pouring all the bottles we tried to guess which beer was what number and no one got a single guess right. We guessed the top three were Blauw, Roze, Crianza, (left to right) and then the bottom two 50th and JCN. But the correct order was JCN, Crianza, Roze, Blauw, 50th. And it was almost unanimous the order we ranked them in. JCN was ranked the highest by everyone, followed by blauw, then crianza, then roze, then 50th. There was one person there who was visibly upset that he picked cantillon geuze over drie geuze, haha. All the beers were great and I'm lucky to have been able to try all of them. Hoping to do several more like this in the future.

I've got geuze burps still. And it's great.

I have so much jelly that you could spread it on toast.

When ordering from etre and using the reserve shipping message. Is that there way of allowing me to build a box over time? Or do I need to fill it all with one purchase?

You can build the box each quarter. End of each quarter, you will get a shipping invoice regardless of what level your box is filled at. You can fill it before the end of the quarter, or ask for a shipping invoice at any time though.

 

[brentsdodgers]

Got it thanks. When does this quarter end. September?

I hate you fuckers for telling me this.

mikecharley I didn't see lambiek special; do you mean coovie rene special blend?

 

[The Red Viper]

It's by seasons. So September 20-21 probably.

According to my quarterly bourbon club, the beginning of the new quarter for them is September 1.

There weren't a ton available. Only 5 left when I placed an order for 3. Looks like they sold out and pulled it down.

my nipples just got ultra stiff

 

[nophunk]

I have missed every ******* Golden Blend on Etre this quarter. ****.

 

[Snarf1]

This Golden Blend mania is awfully funny after the last batch sat on shelves for several years.

Totally. I could buy it locally up until ~6 months ago. That $25 tag scared people away I think. I would still like to fill my box out with 3 for less than it will cost here (and try one ASAP).

Those days were the best. Now even the Golden Doesjel flies of the shelf

Slowly buying the last up around here. Still sitting patiently waiting for me.

Last turd pickup of golden blend was at a local Whole Foods.

Those days were the best. Now even the Golden Doesjel flies of the shelf

Still turding!

 

[thefleshlight]

Damn. Oh well, I have 6 already, probably don't need any more.

I think it's still turding around me, but at $30 after tax and **** unless someone bought it all. I know a worker there who will get it for me at cost, which is a **** hair under $20, again, if it's still there.
