Nope Just the 37.5cl one.
Take away beers were: A&G (37.5), OG (both), Kriek (37.5), Beersel Lager...

No need for the sad face, those 37.5cls are soooooo good, better than the big bottles imho.

No disrespect to the American 'lambic' game but it cracks me up to see breweries in the US release their uber limited, 1btl only or onsite consumption, 375ml, coolship beer for $25+ per bottle when none of it can even sniff the jock of a 3G OG. And then beer (((enthusiasts))) fall all over themselves trying to acquire/drink/trade for them.

Seems like quite a bit of disrespect to the American lambic game, to me.

I'm looking forward to Jester King's shot at 1,2 and 3 year old blend of spontaneous beer. They've supposedly made enough to not cause a crazy run for bottles, and have been pouring it at quite a few festivals. Seems like they could have held back to increase hype, but instead have been pretty upfront/transparent about how much their is and (relative) ease of acquiring

But I said 'no disrespect' first so it cancels that out.

American sours are admitidly a bit hit and miss but De Garde really do seem to be doing it right. And one day very soon I'll taste one and I'm sure I'll be able to back up that statement

The JK 'gueuze' blends are very good. There's something identifiably not quite 'Senne Valley' about them that I wouldn't like to put my finger on, but they're worthy of going toe to toe with, say, Cuvee Rene. That said, I doubt they'll be €4.50 in Delhaize.

 

[andrewdrinks]

And also, fwiw and #notlambic, the afternoon I spent at De Garde last month was (along with HF) as close to a 'Belgian' experience as I've had in the US - very relaxed and unpretentious, proper understanding of the beer and people drinking it, people serving the beers who could talk about the relationship between the beer and the process, and not overrun either.

Okay let's talk about some ******' Belgian beer again

How are the more recent bottlings of 3F OG? I loved January '15 and October '14, but was disappointed by the lack of carb in the March '15 bottles I had.

I've heard conflicting info about bottle count on that one, but I know there are apparently different batches / bottle dates. I've heard as low as 800 and as high as 2,500. I've been waiting on that beer for so long. I don't get too worked up over the latest and greatest AWA of the week, but I'll be going after this one pretty hard. Luckily, I'll get to try the vintage 14 awa with a buddy who's getting one sent his way. Also, yes no AWA I've had has been close to 3gOG, but some are pretty interesting. I thought DDG B1 was really unique and good, but just not 3fog. Also, coolship resurgam is pretty darn good.

I had a Coolship Resurgam alongside a Cantillon Bio Gueuze and a 3F Geuze. The Resurgam wasn't as good as the Cantillon or 3F but it was still damn good. The last bottle I had with about a year on it was ******* fantastic.

I had an October 2015 750 and it was great. Much better than the March 2015 IMO.

Can we talk about the new 3F bottles, corks and cages?

I thought pretty much the same thing after shelling out 520Kr/$77 for a 375ml Being & Time in Koelschip. Nice tick and everything but not up there with the top Zenne Valley boys.

Nice concept. Not so sure about the execution.

(Good to see them finally post something on that Instagram account though)

God bless you for a) buying it and b) sharing it though.

COMPLETELY agree. DDG may be the closest I've had to coming anywhere near how much I enjoy 3F. Compound it with DDG costs like, 3x 3F.

I came to the conclusion about a year and half ago that trading is dumb.

I live my life with stacks and stacks of bcbs and 3F OG. I am a very happy man.
