Lambic Discussion Thread

[HenrikO]

Does anyone know when LPF will be sold this year, or if it already has been released? I friend abroad asked and I have no idea. Cheers.

LPF was released early fall last year, around the same time as Fou (early Sep if memory serves?). Ran out pretty quick at the brewery and hit very few web shops (Fou lasted months longer). Don't know about US release.

I can get you a 2003 Schaerbeekse if you want.

 

[skrip]

i'll take all the Schaerbeekse! ;-)

Tilquin just posted a scan from a newspaper article about TdG and the English Beer Festival. Lots of cool information but the biggest takeaway is that there will be a bouncy castle there for Toer day!

Belgians love their bouncy castles. I'm still amused that De Heeren apparently owns one.

How long before the bouncy castle is filled with puke?

Any idea how many 2008 Bio Krieks were available? They appear to have sold out quickly.

Didn't even know they were available, just happened to check 10 minutes ago and grabbed a Lambikstoemper and some RdG

There were 2 when I saw. I put them in my cart, one disappeared during payment, I put one in my cart, that disappeared during payment, and this happened for 2014 kriek 75cl bottles too. Literally went through the checkout process four times. I wish they would protect your cart during payment, but oh well.

Same thing happened to me on the 2014 Kriek. Saw red text though that said they would have bottles back in soon. Got in for some 750 Rosé, though!

Do not believe the red text.

Etre's shopping cart script is ****** up. When you add more of something than is in stock, or try to change the quantity of a bottle with a bottle limit while in your cart, it doesn't reload/correct properly. For example I had 3 bottles of RdG in cart when there were only two left and it would not let me reset it to two and reload, it just kept saying "quantity not available" and keeping it at three. Had to delete form cart, go back to Cantillon page and re add the two. I got the last two...

Or warm spilled lambic. Problem is, within a day or two you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Damn... I keep missing RdG. Love that beer...

Crap. Should have swapped the Fou for it

 

[Shmeal]

Anyone have an idea on when Framboos will hit stateside?

Ya man. Don't know why you sent that Fou trash...

I have heard the same.

Where has it hit so far? East Coast?

 

[CornAndBeer]

Hit Ohio for sure

 

[OnryAndMean]

A buddy in Missouri bought a bottle locally, so it's hit there as well

 

[ridglens]

none in IN yet...

Welp, this is why we can't have nice things. Because NW Ohio got it, but our Cavalier distributors are so cool that they made sure they got the bulk of the cut. Which leaves most everyone else high and dry. Looks like my local shop got 1 bottle to go towards a tasting. I hope these asses show up at the Hampton tonight.

Man I hate when distributors do that. Vinum handles the Shelton distribution in WA and I am hoping they are pretty fair about spreading bottles around the entire state, instead of just loading up Seattle (where I live), even if I don't manage to get one.

I have a better chance of jumping up into my own ass than ever seeing a bottle of Framboos for sale here.
