Long Beach lambic head right here!

I’m in HB but down to meet up!

Cantillon box due today. Took less than a week to get to Australia from date of shipping. If I am lucky enough to land a future box, Etre is definitely the service I will be going with again.

Tomorrow marks a week since shipment for mine. Fingers crossed for good news tomorrow.

If you’re in Long Beach and wanna drink lambic sometime lmk - I don’t have anyone to drink with around here.

If youre stopping through the valley im based here now. Not always available but happy to pop some bottles when I am.

Heads up for anyone who lives near a One World airport (Seattle/Dallas/Charlotte/Philly/JFK), there are some excellent deals on flights to Brussels (and Luxembourg) at the moment for January/February. Prime lambic brewing season if you want to see the magic for yourself, plus the advantage of having the place to yourself at 3F/Cantillon compared to the summer. I just booked for $371 round trip from Seattle - if you get creative you can work in a day stopover in London for the same price.

More travel news: Delta are matching these fares at the moment from a bunch of cities - I've just picked up a $350 round trip to Luxembourg via Amsterdam for mid Feb. Worth punching in some dates to Google Flights if you've been put off by the high fares before.

Also that Mirabelle lambic that Tilquin were serving at The Festival was excellent. As it was draft, I assume any future bottles will be a different blend?

Does Etre ordinarily provide a tracking #? They billed me for shipping last week and I've not heard back. Not worried about it, just curious if I should expect one before I get a missed delivery notice from USPS.

Yes, Joana will send you one once the package has left. Last I heard from Jonathon, they are going to Cantillon in waves so it may take a little bit.

Yes, they do. I was in the pickup group from last week and paid then as well. Got an email this morning saying it shipped last Friday.

Awesome. I suspect I'll get one too then. They notified me last Friday that they had my bottles and invoiced me for shipping.

Ha! Just got tracking info... It's out for delivery right now. Shipped on Friday and in Boston on Tuesday. Damn.

See now this concerns me slightly in that my buddy and I both got shipped last Monday, his is out for delivery, now yours meanwhile mine still says "processing abroad" and nothing on the USPS site.

Last time I ordered from Etre the USPS site didn't update until it said "Delivered". Bpost never updated at all.

Nice! Might need to check it out and get back over during TgG.

Hey there, just wondering, I found a $600 round trip from CLT but when I get to the screen and click departure and return flights the price goes up to like 1300. Any idea why?

Getting the same thing on kayak. Tons of flights available in April, but they all go up 2 fold when you click on them.

Went back and checked 10 minutes later and now it looks like I can get it. Thank you.

Any California Etre orders have their box enter the US through JFK? Mine shipped on Friday and is now at the "international office of exchange" in JFK. Curious if that's normal.

Edit:
Looks like it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow, Wednesday. That was fast.

Did a **** job of pulling my camera out while out in Denver, but here are some shots from the charity Cantillon tasting. Not exhaustive since some beers were draft only.

The prices are based as much on outgoing as incoming flights. The number on each date is the ‘lowest possible’ price depending on when you return. I found a 1 week trip, from Seattle, around TdG for $400.

JFK is preferable. I'm in Nevada and mine came through LAX which is much more prone to challenges

While we’re semi on the subject, I just relocated to Santa Cruz. Any local lambic folks around?

 

[stakem1]

Anyone know if the most recent bottling of Nath is different in any way from last years?

Kinda want to trade for some simply for sentimental reasons but also dont want to go hog wild if this stuff is bottled up egg farts again.
