Should have an update photo after I finish some more carpentry this week, but this was the lambic cave as of a few months ago.

how long does shipping (from Belgium in a Box in particular) usually take?
 
2002 is a whale, 2003-2005 is a bit hard to track down, 2006-2008 is easier. All are really amazing. Stay away from the synthetic corks (I think they're only in 2005-2006).

I'm not sure exactly what the differences are year to year, but the beers are different than the regular OG.

Here's a pic of 2002 OG (left) 2002 OGV (right).

The St. Valentjin '07 and regular OGV '07 have synthetic corks too. There are regular corks though as well for the regular OGV '07.

Do you (or anyone) know what the deal is with the St Valentjin label? I always thought that was just a cheeky name for the blend on 2/14, but then found out about the label. Then I had one in Belgium that was just the regular label but bottled on 2/14. Did it start as a joke then they changed the label, or something?

I think I have one labeled 2/14 as well that is a none St. Valentjin now that you say that, should probably enter that on the vintage list. No clue why some are marked St. Valentjin and others are regular OGV.

My understanding was a shortage of the specially marked labels... probably worth confirmign with Armand.

That would make sense, though the St Valentine's labels I've seen looked way newer than the 2/14 I saw. Maybe that's just that one place's storage conditions...
 
3F Zomer is drinking amazingly right now.

2005 De Cam Oude Kriek has been my favorite Lambic to date. Off the charts funky.
 
Solidworks, baby.

And yes, I am so ridiculously anal that I drew the designs for my lambic shelves in solidworks before building them. WHAT OF IT??

I like AutoCAD, but that's because I was a civil engineer.

I am also super anal, I used CAD to model my apartment and all my furniture to make sure that I wouldn't have any issues.

AutoCAD is great for that but bloooows for the kind of thing I do. I can't imagine doing 3D fit-checks without actual 3D models (can you even do that?).
 
To NYC, usually about 5-8 business days from hitting "order".

Does it usually take more than a few days for them to ship the box out? I ordered Monday and got confirmation of payment received, Tuesday morning I got a preparation in progress email and no update since then (yes, I'm very impatient.)
