Pretty sure we bought it all.

if they are done I don't see them lasting much longer. Biab is cheaper on most other gueuzes and has better shipping rates. gotta love those quantity packs

Which might explain why Kurt's prices are going up.

Etre's have been too, just not as much. I'm sure they'll go up more pretty soon.

The one-two combo of more people buying and JVR limiting how much beer merchants can purchase will keep our beloved brews from us.

 

[Rowingbrewer1]

I didn't know they had limited the amounts beer merchants could purchase

This is a pretty good article with some historical/cultural information. The translation is rough but you can get the gist. (FYI: Beggars = Geuze) http://home.scarlet.be/pedroalco/Wijn___Bier/Bier/Geuze/geuze.html

Mûre Tilquin - first trial (9 photos)
We are very happy to announce that we launched yesterday a trial for a new fruit lambic beer. Indeed, yesterday we get 957 kg of blackberries (mûres in french) from Germany. These were slightly frozen to guarantee the quality. These 957kg were set in a tank of 2000 liters, with lambics of 1 year old. At this stage, we do not know how long they will stay in the tank and what will be the final dilution with 2 years old lambics.

I like Tilquin playing around with the beer like this. I hope they do more of it and replace every single Lindemans Fruited Lambic on the shelf.

I think Pierre saw my post a few weeks back about how amazing he has done and that he should make more fruited lambics and took it to heart. no need to thank me folks

No its real. I'm rock hard right now

consider me anticitorqued.

 

[Dsal891]

Saw it earlier. Beyond excited.

 

[Stevedore1]

Hard. I am.

 

[Dsal891]

Drinking 2009 MP. Delicious.

Lemons, oak and an intense wet dusty must. Earth. Love it.

Taste is little orange, lemon, that musty earthiness and a tannic dryness to close it out.



This is dope

Latest batch of regular Cantillon, bottled late Dec 13, seriously under carbonated, or was it just a one off bottle? Picked up 3 on Wednesday and the bottle I opened on Thursday was as flat as a bottle of Haanssens. This is not a complaint, it was the best beer i had this week, it was funky as hell, was just anticipating more carb. Opening a bottle that has been sitting a year tomorrow for science

 

[Dsal891]

Are there any webshop in the US that have some gueuze tumblers?

 

[boogercrack]

ktbaum sent me one of these a while ago and i really, really like it. contemplating ordering more... close to a gueuze tumbler.

I opened a Belgian flag 375 a couple months back which was also very flat, and been curious about this too.

Opened one an hour ago and loads of carb. Tasting great.

Anyone know if a spreadsheet for the various Uli/h.ertie beers exists? If not, I think it would be helpful to start one to have a database that's (ideally) more accurate and easier to access than Untappd.

I've asked the question too, the answer is untapped and that's it. Though it'd be cool if someone took the time and tried to make sense of it all. The harder I looked the more Uli blends I found. A lot of his blends have been in the 26 bottle amount range, so I'm always seeing new/old ones I can't find info on.

 

[Dsal891]

Drinking a 2012 hanssens gueuze right now. Very, very nice

This has been on our to-do list, so a google doc was set up. If anyone would like to add to this, please feel free. Don't worry about alphabetizing them or anything, just add them for now; we'll clean it up later. Please follow the format that was set up. If there's additional info with no appropriate column, just note it in the comments. No need to translate anything, just type it as is. If you have a photo of the label text (left side, right side, full label) that's readable, please upload it to imgur and post the link in the spreadsheet.

Please take the time to read through the entries to make sure you're not making a duplicate. Thanks!
