Lambic Discussion Thread

I've seen 375 Bio labels being sold for $40 (also has 750s for $75). Granted this was a bar/to-go bottle shop, so I'm sure some of the markup was due to the fact that you could buy and open bottle on premise. But damn!
I cannot 100% confirm if there was a Shelton sticker on the bottles as I could only see the bottles from the glass door fridge. Where would said Shelton stickers be located, on the back I presume?

Yeah just the standard label on the back with the Shelton blurb about the beer and such.

Ended up ordering an Oude Kriek De Cam. Will post review here once it arrives and I drink it.

Y'all are getting me in trouble. Snagged some Iris and GCB 2009 on BiaB even though I have a large order awaiting shipment on Étre already. Whenever these shipments are due will be an expensive month...

Edit: I'm pissed that while I was debating to place the BiaB order the other bottles of GCB ran out... :-(

You blink and you miss out. Sadly the state of affairs these days in the lambic world.

I snagged a bottle off a website that shall henceforth be unnamed, but my first attempt actually ran into a never-before-seen error code on my laptop. So I switched to my phone and furiously typed away at my login and passwords and confirming the order. He who doth have the fastest fingers wins

For a guy who is new to lambics, what are some good ones people would love to receive in a care package? I know the obvious ones BTW, lol.

[Rowingbrewer1]

timmermans traditional oude gueuze or kriek as well

 

[SeaWatchman]

Also anything sour brewed in America.

 

[bdogg1]

That's why I love this place. I have already tracked down some suggested bottles. Thank you again.

Especially the Trinity 7-day gueuze. Why wait for something that takes 3 years to make in Belgium?

What is a good price point for shelf De Cam Oude Lambiek?

$38-$42 seems to be the going rate in the US. Not worth it.

 

[kalvarez]

Price check on Tilquin^2?

 

[ASak10]

Price check on Tilquin^2?

We got a bunch in Colorado recently and they were $15-18 for 375 and $30-32 for the 750.

Saw this, and of course it was high $30s. A new blend?

Yeah it was a bad batch, whatever you do please leave these on the shelves.

Extra-strong, I think. I forget the story.

Something along the lines of not happy with how a batch came out, so they threw it back in barrels, aged it another year, and then mixed it with two more batches. Bam! Tilquin Squared.

They said the problem was the bottles were over carbonated so they put back in barrels for a while instead of releasing.

375mls are 18-20 in mass. big surprise they are more here than anywhere else

[quirk6]

I just paid 14.99 for Tilquin squared. The Rulquin was right next to it for 27.99, couldn't pull the trigger on that one.

Yeah, Manchester Wine and Liquors. I got the last Tilquin squared, but they had a couple Rulquin left.
