Lambic Discussion Thread

[Gaseous Clay]

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.

It has been a while for Cantillon. Almost a year. I Wonder if they've gone back to silent and staggered releases at the brewery. Theyve had St Lam, Vig, and D'aunis available to go at the brewery in small to large quantities over the past few months and haven't had any major issues as far as i'm aware of.

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!"

Nope. Look in that first paragraph again.

I managed to get through at 2:15 EST somehow. Stoked!

Mark your calendars: starting Wednesday, August 14th, we’ve got some new stuff for you to taste in our lambik-O-droom. On a beautiful day in 2012, Armand went out to Sevilla to learn about and taste fine sherry with maître-sommelier Andy De Brouwer, a journey which led them past traditional sherry houses where taste and process still reign supreme. Now, as you might know, sherry and lambik are made in a similar way, using wooden casks, both forming a natural layer of flor for protection. Didn’t that sound like the perfect excuse to lug home three Pedro Ximénez casks and nine Oloroso casks, more than forty years old, and fill them to the brim with young lambik? All of the beautiful brews that were made during seven years of experimenting and blending were bottled in six batches of Zenne y Frontera – of which four new ones – , who ask nothing more than for you to taste them. You were perhaps looking for the perfect excuse to just come on over to Lot; well we just gave one!

The idea that 3F might be sending me secret coded messages in otherwise innocuous newsletters is NOT a good development for my mental health.

You guys, we’ve officially combined the quality of the Trump thread and the lambic thread now that we are deciphering messages to try and determine what Q (Armand) wants us to know. Welcome to the journey.

That was a short lived stint as my favorite newsletter.

 

[pldevo]

Naturally I missed all of this.

Pretty sure I signed up for the 3F newsletter, but I never get anything from them.

 

[nicoolaa]

Just be able to place an order from the waiting list.
Check your mails..

Horrific release time for Australia

 

[jaeselector]

****! Just got back from a backpacking trip, wondering to myself if anything’s up on the lambic thread.

Oh well . . . Wouldn’t have missed the trip with my daughter anyway.

already got my Zomer package from Etre which shipped thru LAX with no issues ... just an FYI for West Coasters...

I've had a box sitting in Chicago customs since the 12th.

Wow, a whole 4 days?????

Well I’m more concerned because it had a partner box riding along with it that breezed through in an hour and they were both scanned into customs at the same time. And I’ve got two more in transit somewhere over the Atlantic.

Oh the roller coaster of emotions... get an email from 3F this morning...

Only to say that there isn't enough stock to satisfy my waitlist order.

Womp womp.

You've given so much hope to every waitlister who didn't get said email.

Is anyone else still waiting to hear from etre about shipping the zenne set?

Nope, you’re the only one.

The order of preference is based on number of talkbeer posts from a user that don't ask the same ******* questions about Etre or BiaB proxying. I think you should hear back in 2020.

For real. Honestly, it's still really ******* hot over most of the country. Waiting a couple of weeks to get your world class lambic that you can just order off the internet is not going to be the worst thing to happen. If I weren't going to OBDs I would hope that Etre would hold on my shipping until October to have the best weather.

Antidoot isn’t lambic but it’s up on etre

It's also gone already. I had one in my cart with 32 bottles left. Thought perhaps the hype died since there were so many left (75 of the other), so I took some time to read things. Boom, in 30 seconds the bottle was gone. Missed 2 of the 3 that they listed; had to "settle" for the remaining.
