Lambic Discussion Thread

[matedog]

A coworker was going to Brussels, so I told him to goto Cantillon if he had time (and warned him that it wouldn't taste like beer he's used to). He did some beer tasting/tour in the city one night and wasn't planning on going... until he lost his passport and had some time to kill. His thoughts:

To be fair, Westmalle Tripel is a mighty fine tripel.

If you've got 11/27/13 3F OG then we can talk.

Negative Ghostrider. All I have is 2011 and 2012 3F OG. I'll find a 2011 vigneronne somewhere...

Yeah but 2011 3F OG is drinking fantastically right now.

I need the 2011 Vigneronne to complete a 2009-2013 Vertical

The case of 3F OG I got yesterday is 11/27/13.

Feel free to PM me if you're looking to trade a few bottles away. Birthday bottling date...

Yes it is. I've got a bunch of 375s of 2011 that are really nice right now.

And yes BusinessSloth , the corks on mine go off like a shotgun blast too.

Holy ****, you aren't even one year old yet? Do you have the Benjamin Button disease?

I like how he almost got the message into iambic pentameter too.

I wish.

Turning 29 soon, but if I shave my beard and cut my hair I'll end up looking like one of the kids I teach.
This gives me an idea....

I'll check my vintages when I get home. Might have an 11.

Any lambic bottled on 10/12/13? That's my wedding anniversary. I have a fair amount of stuff from October 2013, but couldn't find anything with that particular bottle date.

Got a bunch of Bruocsella from 10/12/12. Should have popped that question earlier brah.

 

[mrk_d]

Looking through the lists, of course the only birthday gueuze is LPG '04. Not sure if I want to chase it down or not. Maybe 3F from 2 days later is close enough...

 

[OnryAndMean]

This years Cuvee Saint Gilloise was bottled on my bday (Feb 17), and so was the US label Golden Blend. I need to track down more CSG for the novelty. Got a decade's worth of Golden Blend already haha

None that I have, but do have 10/17/13 3F OG.

 

[The Red Viper]

It's probably too early for anyone to have received shipments from Belgian orders yet, but on the off chance, has anyone been able to try the Tilquin Gueuze^2 yet? And if so any thoughts on how this compares to the regular Tilquin gueuze? I'm curious as to whether the higher abv on this one makes it particularly worth stocking up on to cellar, but also just whether it's a special/particularly good batch in general.

 

[Treebs]

Yeah, I have some of that as well.

Could've helped you out if it were LPK '04. What's your birthday?

Jan. 16. I've got a bunch of trades going now but I might throw up an ISO soon.

 

[RyanG1]

I have a serious problem with 3 Fonteinen corks shooting out. It's come to the point where no matter what conditions the bottle was stored in, I have my hand on the cork before I undo the cage. And I open them outside. I'm tired of bottles making love explosion on my countertops.

Golden Blends are especially volatile. Out of the 3 or 4 I've opened.

Here is the one that didn't get away

Could maybe do. I sort of have an American address, but I'll let you know.

 

[Pneill3161]

I'm always looking for some classic gueuze 1/31/13, first sons bday. Got one bottle so far, but wanna stock up on as much as possible.

 

[jmarce]

Cuvee Lambikstoemper is back on Etre for anyone who missed it the first time around.

Also available in six packs on BIAB. That's what I did.

 

[Dsal891]

Might order and extra 6.....

Was hoping biab would have the volume 3f deal pop back up. I kept waiting in it and now I regret it.

Oh well, I'll probably snag up the tilquin volume pack
