I heard that 3F is actually taking what remains and rebottling it with Tilquin to make Framboos³ and sending it all to Honduras.

I rarely have luck checking out on the site. I've sent Jonathan feedback on it several times and he thinks it's an issue on my end. I have used several different devices and browsers and still have the same issue. The issue being, the 'Continue Checkout' button just doesn't work. It acts like an image and nothing more. I can never get to the payment screen.

same issue for me and I have tried on multiple computers and browsers

3F Oude Geuze is now an allocated item on Etre. Limit 3 per person. I knew it was coming. When boon Oude Geuze or girardin is allocated, I give up

Phew, at least it's only for 2013. No limit on 2014.

For now

True, though hopefully it remains that way and the 2013 is only limited since the bottle count is getting pretty low. Even now, there's only a limit on the 750s, not the 375s. Though I am definitely afraid that we're on a path where soon you'll only be able to get the new year's blend when it comes out, then you'll be able to get it with limits, then it'll be limits and gone quickly like happens with Bio now.

Another online store has vintage Oud Beersel (2000) and Hanssens (1998) Gueuze and Kriek at the moment at about €55-75 a pop. Not cheap, but these things rarely hit the open market.

Didnt hansenns have white labels in the early 2000s and prior?

Lambic.info is unclear on this point. The 2004 Hanssens I had at Akkurat a few years back had the "regular" label. SeaWatchman?

I'm assuming that out of those ~1,350 bottles that the Seattle market will see maybe 12 lol.

My Seattle buddy told me this morning that Shelton isn't in WA anymore because whoever they distro'd to owes them a shitload of money. Have you heard anything about that?

Say what?!? I will do research. As of right now I've still seen quite a few SB products around town, and new ones as of last week.

Research complete: Vinum Distro took over the SB lineup for Urban Family. We still have distro of SB in Seattle

Lol I got a snapshot of the negative 2 in stock. That was funny

FYI-that was true for a while. Urban owed Shelton quite a bit of money, which is why we didn't get Zwanze last year.

From what I've heard, Shelton isn't fun to deal with. Thankfully, Vinum stepped in. Lots of love for them.

How was this? The lambic devil on my shoulder is telling me I should buy the '98 Hanssens Gueuze that aforementioned site put up for sale and I'm trying to make a rational determination about whether it would actually be special or just a novelty.

Awesome. A complete steal for ~$15 for a 375 at Akkurat. Not sure I'd pay 50 Euro for a 750, though.

Framboos shmambooze. I'm bummed the bottles of GCB I put in my cart were gone before I could check out.

Those white labels are ollllld. I'm not sure how far they go back, but the Hanssens labels we know now were definitely around in the mid 90's.

Guess I should've dropped the 70 euros or whatever to get you a case when I was at the brewery...

 

[Dsal891]

A case of bruoscella is always the answer

No it's not.

Maybe mot the answer you're right....



But I still enjoy the hell out of it

[Danimal1]

Anyone ever had the Meat Spin Gueuze? Must be pretty good.
