3F Summer Pack up now: https://3fonteinen.us2.list-manage....14591b9b84ad9b0a4a&id=0e4d808f15&e=afa32d8fdf

I like this whole "release via e-mail list" thing, it works out a lot better for me than ******* facebook.

Thanks, Stu! Been so long that I've ordered an etre box that I was overdue. Appreciate you posting the link.

 

[jaeselector]

Sure... if people don't go posting the link everywhere.

I think most on here would be on the 3F newsletter . . .

Which kind of makes it pointless to post it then, right? The whole reason it comes via a newsletter (and why he's so happy it does) is to presumably limit the number of people who get the link initially vs. a giant shitshow on FB causing things to sell out immediately or crash the site. So take that x100s of other people doing the same thing because hey why not help out a small group of friends and you get the same results.

Keep trying not to buy more lambic and then this happens. Can't pass up OGV though.

I hear you, but then again, it’s just beer. Can’t control others. I had a non-lambic, but beer enthusiast, friend text me the link 20 mins ago and I admit I was a little annoyed, and asked how he got it.

I know I'm the minority here for using BIAB but for those interested the "packaging fee" for the Summer Package is 20 EUR.

...Why would a newsletter have any more or less people than Facebook? They've even been specifically pushing the newsletter, telling people the link would go out this way. Also, it's on Eventbrite, I think they can handle the load either way.

This is a bizarre thing to complain about, even by your standards.

Maybe I'm just bored with beer, but this pack was an easy pass for me.

 

[iong516]

Well that was the lowest hassle OGV acquisition I've had in a long time.

So much I could reply to on the last two pages, but I'll stick with being pleased about this

 

[Dbijnagte]

So anyone get any Bokke bottles on etre? Got a pjassel luckily.

Lol, not me which is probably for the best.

Etre crashed so quickly.

Lolwut

37€ per of 3 different bokke bottles. Limit 1 bottle total. A big mess.

 

[Gaseous Clay]

Got a pjassel with confirmation of order/payment and a confirmation of backorder right after. Fun morning! Ugh

 

[MikeG1]

Got a Steen on backorder, then was able to get an Abrighost that is apparently in stock, so I'm happy. Never had any Bokke, gonna save this one for a special occasion.

 

[andrewdrinks]

1pp extremely sought after bottles going up on the 2nd day of a new quarter, how unexpected

They added a bunch more bottles back at some point, I got a Pjassel when the stock jumped from -46 to 40, so it might be fine? I haven't received any backorder e-mail after buying it.

I suppose I’ll just have to wait and see. The ‘my order’ page on my account still says “on backorder (paid)”. I got in before the re-ups so maybe the order went through and will be honored. Or I’ll get refunded, no biggie. Congrats on your score. Between this and the summer pack I’m tapped out for a while lol.

Well based on your post on DDT I think you paid ahead of me, so if I get a bottle you certainly will.

Etre just posted that there was a glitch and they oversold 2 of them, Pjassel included. So, you and I may get refunded unfortuantely

I think that restock is what is causing the big issue. I don't think more bottles were available. From their FB it sounds like it should not have jumped from -X into the positives; and therefore any of those ordered bottles after the jump were buying bottles that were not actually available, but no backorder email was sent because the system said they were in stock. They might end up cancelled manually. That is how I interpret it, but I hope I'm wrong because I only got one after the jump.

 

[stupac2]

Yeah I saw that, we'll see. I'm hoping that raf comes through for us!

True. He was such an important member of this community that I don’t know if any of us will ever recover from not having him here anymore.

No pic but opened a 2017 Cantillon 50n4e Armagnac last night for my birthday that was absolutely stellar. Great funk and a pretty great amount of barrel evident.
