Ahhh damn, my fault. I think I have a 375mL bottle of cantillon gueuze with that date as well if you want more variety.

Did I trade it to you because it's your bday bottle? Would be funny if so... I got 2-3 of that date and traded my last one to someone on here.

We built one wall of storage in our cellar to accommodate lambic - nothing fancy - just used a table saw and mostly strong particle board with reinforcement...will snap a picture when I get home. The planning and cutting took longer then actually putting it all together and it was fine with a small 3.4 earthquake (not sure how it would have fared with the 5.0 we had in 2010 just before we built it).

Anyone ever build their own bottle racks from wood? Am thinking of doing so because my neighbor has all the wood tools one could need and he offered to help. I just need plans really.

What the **** is wrong with me that I'm even tempted to purchase a really expensive, boujie glass of a blendery that I have no matching beers?

The glassware doesn't have the blendery name and he has said the logo won't change so I doubt this is a product dump, but I could be wrong.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking that.... except I ended up buying one

 

[BadJustin]

lol price was 41, added some Blanche to my box and now it's 50 for that glass

Nah dude, you're just losing your mind. It's been 50 all day long.

Well I already lost it but it did. I seent it

I did too, on the left side when on the glassware page. Probably an old cache issue?

Yeah, had to be. Thank you for confirming I am only as crazy as I originally thought.

I wish everyone had the same level of dedication to making you feel crazy. So did you still buy one or was the 9 Euro difference too much?

Wasn't gonna buy one in the first place

ahhh you're right! for some reason i thought it said Bokereyder under the logo.

Perhaps you will in the future?
In the meantime, it's an extremely well made glass, and this is actually a good price for it. They generally run around $60 and that's for a blank glass.

Oh I know that Zalto glasses aren't cheap at all. I just don't know if I ever need to own one. My fear of breaking a $60 glass is pretty high.

 

[macpete]

I think I've mentioned this before, but I'm not all that fond of any of the fruited Tilquins. For how expensive they are they're just never worth it.

Although I'm generally more of a good old fashioned geuze man, I have too say that Tilquin Pinot Noir is one of the best bottles of beer I've had (and Pinot Gris was also stellar).

Have a DG Zalto...drank out of it once. Will probably never touch it again.

Do you drink wine? Might be a nice one to use in the summer for a sauvignon blanc

I've been able to get the Tilqin regs in NJ now for about the past year. I'm hoping that the next time seasonals roll around we will get some as well.

I do but the crystal feels so thin and fragile I'm afraid of breaking it.

 

[JohnnyBags]

Cardboard and that pulp material are breeding grounds for mold and bacteria. If you’re storing in a dry closet somewhere that’s probably fine, but in a non temp controlled basement, you’re asking for issues.

Last summer during really humid stretch I had about 5 or 6 boxes of beer become infested with mold. The majority of them were 3F paper label bottles. I ended up cleaning the **** out of all of them and scrubbing all the labels off. I threw away a bunch of beers I didn't care about but it was a giant pain in the ass the salvage what I wanted to keep. The next week I ended up buying an Ikea Kallax with the door inserts and keep everything in there now.

 

[Gaseous Clay]

How much do you pay for your storage?

I believe I paid $400 for three years of storage. Can’t remember the exact amount since I paid upfront but I believe it was around $400

How many bottles can you fit in that storage unit?

Thanks for pointing out the kriek date, guess I’m ISO now.

I think I offered to include one but you didn't want it at the time...

Man, don't ever get any glasswhales. Or go to CheapBeerBuzz's house. Hell even drinking out of one of jedwards's Pretty Things glasses made me nervous.
