Lambic Discussion Thread

[Maakun]

They've got 2006 doesjel as well, €20

Tried to order the 3F beers and about 5 others, and they only had one bottle out of my whole order available... I think their webshop is 'slightly' out of date.

Nederlands hè. Ik ging er vanuit dat het "geleverd uit voorraad" betekende.

How does one get their hands on this? I was just talking about saison/lambic blends recently and heard very good things about this one.

Yeah bokker has some of that
They are nice.

I don't even bother buying De Cam anymore. I am rarely impressed or even interested by what I get half the time.

I'm sorry but for me they have the best framboise on the market at the moment. (that includes the 3 fonteinen and cantillon version yes )
It's also a nice place to just hang around on a sunday afternoon

Putting it back into Google translate gives "Can not beer nerds us excited like that. They need to update their ****."
Dropped the "get" I think

Took a ride up to Brussels and surrounding area today - didn't count on the freezing rain in the Ardennes on the way back, made things a bit more interesting!

- Scored some Boon Vat 109 and just finished my first - there's a lot of oak and cognac in the back of this. I doubt I'd have identified this as Boon in a blind taste. A touch young yet but glad I got a case.
- Other interesting shelf discoveries - Mega Blend 2013 for €8. Anyone had one recently?
- Busy as ever at Cantillon, met some nice folks and picked up some more GCB. Amongst the onsite bottles was a Mamouche vertical (2016, 2014, 2010), 2007 Gueuze and LPK 2012.
- Lambik-o-droom is very nice inside, although looks like a community centre from the outside. The new 3F logo merch is really nice - when they have logo glasses I'm all over them.
- And finally slow clap to the unnamed otherwise-brilliant beer store with Hommage on the shelf with a 'Price on request' label. (€100)

What was available to takeaway from 3F?

OG, Kriek and a handful of splits of A&G (50-60?). There was a sign for Intense Red 75s but none to be seen.

Popped a Boon Vat 109 yesterday aswell and I agree it is real tasty. Definitely some cognac notes in there, reminded me a lot of 50n4e.

Would have to give that to Bokker Vanille Framboos.

But not a brewer...

 

[sneakychi]

Hmmm... seeing all these (positive) mentions of Boon Vat 109 making me impatient - it's not released in Sweden until the middle of Mars (and at roughly the same price as ordering from Belgium incl. shipping).

[lopejuice1]

well this sounds kind of magical. Any plans on production? or this just for JVRs kicks

 

[Padraig]

I assumed it'd be online somewhere, but I did a quick search and can't find any online shops that ship to Mainland Europe AND still have stock - someone bought me mine in person in London. I'll ask around and see if I can sort you out.

Jen & Glenn at HBB will probably ship outside the UK if asked. I thought I saw the Reserve there too before Christmas so wouldn't hurt to ask.

Mark Tranter being interviewed by Hammy from Beavertown. Not listened to it yet but I believe this beer is discussed.

There's a possibility that it might see some more production in the future.

TLDR;
Maybe

It does age incredibly well. I miss the days when it sat all over the place in MA. Last bottle I had was for it's 10th anniversary (shared by FalconA ) and we were really surprised by how great it was.

The day I pay those prices...y'all have full disclosure to send me to rehab

For comparison, what's the cost of these at the brewery?

Cantillon's thoughts on such a large price hike?
