I'm talking about Boon Black Label. They haven't released a new edition in, what, two years now?

Yeah, black label Boon is done for now.

No more Black Label, no new mono-vats. This Schaerbeekse Oude Kriek is the first new release announced since the Discovery Box.

Sure, but hope springs eternal. Plus weren't batches 2 and 3 made in quick succession? So can't one hope?

Oh, apparently one cannot hope.

 

[primebeer]

Time to buy more Black Label then. Also still forever ISO batch 1, it's a birthday bottling for me.

Have there been many (any?) announcements this year for bottle releases during Toer de Geuze, aside from Mega Blend? I see Boon and Oud Beersel will have special tastings, plus the new Speling van het Lot bottles at 3F, but I don't see many announcements for new bottlings for sale.

So the rumor is true.

So the rumor is true.

And there are a lot of bottles, it’s glorious!

 

[GetchaPull]

What about the rumor of a special label? Or will it just be the regular logo label?

Oooh, looky here:

Normally, we should have Magnums of gueuze on sale at the shop during Toer de Geuze. This is our first Magnum of gueuze, bottled last year on 19th of March 2018 (so it has already more than 1 year in the bottle). It is delicious. It will be sold in an individual box, 1 per person, at 25 EUR.

We have 2500 magnum bottles. Normally, around 500 will be sent to US later this year.

Random question, does anybody here use pitchers when drinking their lambic; whether it be for presentation or decanting purposes? I don't own any, but I always look at them. I never pull the trigger because I have a feeling they would just sit on a shelf.

I use mine when I have flat Lambic, not really for the bottled stuff

I saw the cages of these at the gueuzerie in January. I want one (or two) of these so bad.

The only things I've ever used mine for are Zenne y Frontera and Foumosas.

I've used mine twice since I got it almost 3 years ago.

I mean... they do look cool sitting on shelves.

But to your point, I think they work very well for decanting bottles. While they're kinda heavy, it's much less awkward to pour than a bottle in a basket and also easier to clean than the typical wide-base wine decanter.

Also, you don't have to ask yourself if you want to store bottles vertical or horizontal because you empty the bottle in one shot.

 

[Gaseous Clay]

Pitchers also work great for overcarbonated bottles if you don’t want a mess and want the carb to die down a bit before pouring into a glass. Just my two cents/experience though.

They make wonderful flower vases

My wife agrees. Mine has been used for flowers more than lambic.

 

[jaeselector]

I decant my lambic in a glass.

 

[mikecharley]

I decant my lambic in my mouth.

 

[RyanG1]

Has anyone tried lambic suppository capsules?

Found these, might work.

Drinking from flower vases is my super power.

I brought mine to my office. It now serves as a watering vessel for my plant.

At least I use it twice a week now.

Some nice Dutch iris would look great in the decanter.

 

[nicoolaa]

Today I opened a golden blend (375)17/18 and was not so impressed.
Maybe it desserve few years more.
I prefer regular fresh og

Tell me more about this label...

 

[DariusDaBone]

Some amazing pictures in the lambic.info fb group, especially that 3F Blackberry-Hommage. How are the new beers / blends drinking?
