Lambic Discussion Thread

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

Cantillon's thoughts on such a large price hike?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they're right around 8€.

Specials (Fou, LP's) have been 12€ this year, Magnums 25€. Still cheap but they have been upping the prices considerably over the last few years.

 

[Sam Fu]

Magnums

$27 at the brewery

$299 + shipping on Trappist World


Seems legit

 

[GetchaPull]

For the price of a couple Trappist World boxes, use that jack to book a ticket in the off-season and drink (better) lambic at the sources until your stomach rots out of your ass...and I'll meet you there to do the same.

Finest Belgian beers just put up a decent Cantillon grab pack if anyone is interested, they also have some A&G 375s for sale. Alexandre has always given me amazing support, so figured I'd put this out there

Edit: Also have bottles of Boon vat 109 if anyone is interested in the cognac barreled lambic life

A St Lam 2016 bottling date for you SeaWatchman and co - 14 November 2016.

Holy Crap, those shipping costs.

I would say 'pic or it didn't happen' but I can confirm said date

 

[andrewdrinks]

In related news, St Lam went out to Belgian accounts late last week.

Which one of you gentlemen thought to pick me one or two up?

Basically, please show me one on a shelf around here....

There are a few sites / sellers with better shipping than others.

 

[Sam Fu]

I'm saying I'm patient enough to wait till stores in the US get a drop or save up for a trip to belgium. I'd rather do that than pay ridiculous markup.

 

[sunnrider]

It costs about $90 to send a 6 shipper of bottles to Europe. You can get the same shipper back with a bunch of lambic bottles.
More expensive than off the shelf but it beats the shitlord secondary market.

 

[jdoucet]

Would have to give that to Bokker Vanille Framboos.

Cognac, vanille, puur and saison, had them yes. They are very good let me be clear. But I did state "on the market". As far as I know, you can drink them in several select places, but you can hardly call that "on the market" ;-)
I'll just have to go to "In de groten dorst" to have another bottle

Yeah but looking for an international trader in ISO:FT is like asking a girl to dance in the 8th grade.
You usually don't get the dance and everyone else laughs at you and talks about it forever

 

[preacher1]

Has customs held up any Euro boxes coming in to the US or west coast lately?

 

[coldstorage]

Yeah man my last two Etre boxes took about 5-6 weeks to land. One was in December and one was in January.

Let's all laugh at this guy

OK, I'll post a international trade in the forum soon

So edgy. So cool...

And that is why people just go to Trappist World

My favorite part is how he typed it up to make it look like he was going to sent it but I doubt he did.

You can tell you've made a good post when FIBs and Shitburgers unite against it.

Of all the posts on the Ba trade forums, let alone the stupidity that is the IP international forum, the mail he sent doesnt fall into that category. He didn't sa FT Abyss and Trillium ISO: Zenne, 50N, Seasons etc... like 90% of people do.

More adventures in Cat Lambic. Niels really outdid himself on the minimalist labeling on this one choosing to go with a small red R on the cork to indicate that this is a rhubarb lambic. Pours totally still with a young floral nose and somewhat grainy/cereal mouthfeel. It's extremely woody as well and reminiscent of De Troch lambic. I don't regularly eat rhubarb but have had the various Cantillon iterations a few times each and can definitely detect a similar taste profile from what I assume are the petioles... that or he used the leaves and I'm going to get really sick. Either way, as this opens up it takes on a more tart characteristic and is slightly reminiscent of apple juice. Really easy to drink all around.
