[mikecharley]

I just discovered a webshop stocking 50n, Fou'Foune, and Golden blend. Just ordered 6 of each.

There isn't a more appropriate GIF than this for what is happening in this thread and across the beer internets with regard to lambic.

Like because Simpsons during the good years.

And Framboos.

If you got some of the Framboos this morning, I hate you 42 euros a pop.

Yes sir. I'm amazed it's still popping up. It did a few days ago too. Missed that too.

After drinking it, I wouldn't say you're missing it...

Wait by 3 a.m. which timezone? My dogs always need to go out at 3 (Pacific Time) and that's when I will usually check. They already had it down by that point

This is just the lull before the obligatory "Is my box stuck in customs?" + screenshot posts.

The calm before the haul pics.

Can it be true that this year's FF sold out in 2 weeks? Or have they sent an absolute stack over to Shelton to make a fortune?

They are not the ones that would make a fortune in that move.

I love lambic.

Enough activity?

Yea, but do you love it enough to trade 12 cans of IPA for a bottle?

Hell no. I live 5 mins away from Sante. Got all of the fresh ipas I need there.
I did see that trade I believe you are referring to.
I'm definitely in the camp of trade what you want. I wouldn't do it because Santa Cruz county doesn't get anything loon wise so trading for it is my only route.

So you would trade ipa for lambic?

 

[LukeAleTime]

I know it's been discussed before, but on decanting (prompted by HenrikO in some trade thread)...

What do peeps use? Should I get an obnoxiously shaped wine decanter?
Are people decanting everything, including goozers? Or just lambic and fruits?

If someone wants to trade lambic for growler fills for lambic? Sure. Gotta go $4$ though to even out me having to buy a new growler.

Found this piece, got it 8 years ago as a wedding gift. Didn't know what the **** a decanter was until recently. Might have to start decanting everything for science.

It's going to be different answers from everyone. Some people say they reserve it for a few beers that they don't feel fully express themselves when they are just opened (always hear people say mamouche and 50n) others will swear by straight lambic decanting. I have seen people decant 02 3F OGV before drinking. All beer will change after its been decanted some may like it before others after. Just try it both ways with some self lambic and gueuze first

 

[Rowingbrewer1]

I will decant the next lambic/gueuze I drink and report back. May be a while since my cellar is currently off site. Will do 15 minute tasting intervals

 

[caaam]

I'm curious as to what people have had that they would specifically not decant? IE, other than convenience, is there any reason not to decant everything?
