All sorts of new 3F popped up on Etre, including Intens Rood, as well as the Hommage and the Kriek from the summer pack.

I ordered one of the Honig blends. I had to resist ordering more

I was watching an interview Armand gave during OBD last year and he mentioned his retirement and that he has no real part in day to day activities including blending. Does anyone know what some of Armands final blends were?

The "pension blend" I guess.

Did armand blend that? I was under the impression it was blended for him but not by him.

 

[SeaWatchman]

As of end 2014, Armand left the blending to Michaël with final approval by Armand. First A&G's were one of the first blends Armand didn’t take part in the initial tasting and blending but did after 6/12 months in the warm room.

He did not. That was a surprise project that Michael and Werner set up for Armand. But only Armand is allowed to offer it/open it for people.
It’s also delicious.

One of the guys, I think it was Michael, did tell a story about how they sort of tricked him into blending it. He told me the story a while ago and I don't remember exactly but I'm pretty sure they got Armand in to unknowingly help with blending that batch.

True story. Well, Michael asked him his thoughts and said he wasn’t sure, for which Armand gave him a hard time.

Didn't even notice that two of the listings were Honing bottles. Definitely had to snap up one of each to try them out. Resisting the urge to buy more Hommage- I am going to already have way too many with the new 375's in the zomer pack on top of the handful I already have.

 

[fo1ksguitar]

Which bottles are honing blends? How can you tell?

Perfect solo-doming bottles though!

Awesome. So awesome

 

[jrstar96]

I messed up and didn't get the glass. I went way to fast through checkout. Oh well.

Probably the most excited I’ve been to buy beer in a really long time.

It's still available for purchase

Just buy a second set and add a glass! Haha

Just got myself a set! What a day.

 

[chongcheesol]

Missed it

Keep trying. If it says Waitlist it isn't sold out. It just means people have it in their cart and haven't paid. Just keep refreshing and adding it to your cart as soon as you see it available. Worked for me.

I should clarify. I BELIEVE "Waitlist" means it is not sold out. I am just basing that off the fact that they kept reappearing. It may be possible that all available are sold and it just says "waitlist" by default until the seller indicates sold out. But, when I would click in and out of the ticket listing when it said "waitlist" it would be available sometimes. Good luck!

They went through the waitlist after the first sale through Eventbrite and completed several of those orders so maybe they do the same here.

Happened to be sitting in the train after work browsing my phone. Didn't know how fast to slam that order button. Very smooth ordering processes overall but you sure have to be quick. Not sure what hint they are referring to in the previous newsletter - which is quite quickly becoming my favorite newsletter.

Really very happy they managed to do a release to be able to share with friends who are not able to frequent Lambik-o-Droom. Does anybody have a sense of the bottle count? Was under the suspicion the bottle count would be too limited for that given the amount needed for serving at LoD and the fact some barrels were lost.

I wondered about this too, and I think they're referring to the line: "And don’t hesitate to regularly check your mailbox for newsletter news!"

3F is doing a great job keeping my wallet empty, but whats going on with Cantillon? It's been ages since they did an online sale.
