Lambic Discussion Thread

[CornAndBeer]

Had my first Girardin Gueuze tonight. Phenomenal as everyone says, I'm gonna need to do a side by side with 3F and Tilquin at some point. Really wish it was easier to come by but I think I'm gonna need to break my Etre cherry in the next couple months. God it was good.

Thank you for your time.

No need. BiaB won't ship volume packs to the U.S. anymore.

I mean.... yeah.... I tried to order one but then they just took my money and sent half of an old goat corpse? (better?)









































I've got a 3 week old. My brain, she does not work.

What I meant to say was Kurt will steal your money and spend it on 'Merica Lambic

 

[Doc1]

I heard for every volume pack purchased, they use one bullet to kill both a puppy and an orphan simultaneously.

 

[kindaphunky]

I just ordered a bottle of De Cam Framboise, bummer.

Had one a couple months ago that gushed but was right up there with any other raspberry lambic I've had. Simply incredible. Keep the DeCam faith

At least it's efficient.

Has anyone ever had any luck ordering a keg of lambic like draft tilquin, cuvée Rene or oud beersel gueuze?

If there's a way to order a keg of Cuvee Rene, sign me up. I'll buy a kegerator just to drink it.

I've had luck purchasing kegs of Beersel Framboise in Canada, but nothing else.

 

[boogercrack]

Reorganizing the "cellar".

I've apparently got more unique vintages of Iris than total AWA bottles.

I am quite ok with this.

Nothing that interesting

Just random bottlings from 2012-2014. I was more surprised to find that the only AWAs I have are a few beat b5/b6 bottles.

yeah i haven't been able to find anything, tried for Cuvee Rene for a while. i think you can get Lindemans frambois if you wanted (but you wouldn't).

I thought I was the only one lol. Trade massively for fuzzy/other AWAs or send BA stouts over the pond for limited lambics....hmmmmm.

As if that weren’t enough to pique your interest, Lindemans will also soon be sending one-year-old draft lambic, which is usually only available in a few cafés in Belgium, in 25-liter kegs to the United States, via importer Merchant du Vin.

This is the most exciting part to me. Dat draft Lambic!

As for ordering kegs, I tried to get a keg of Hanssen's Kriek last year. (For private use) I spoke with Sidy and John and they were very nice but told me everything goes through their distributor. Distro ignored my calls/emails. Worth a shot I guess.

You can regularly get lindemans 1 year lambic on tap at The Publican in Chicago.

Ah, good to know for next time I'm in Chicago!

 

[LukeAleTime]

Gf was supposed to be out for the evening and I had planned some personal bottle popping, but plans changed and she's on her way home... so I'm getting this one in first.

Reminds me of Golden Blend with that citrus/dusty mandarin (clementine) flavour, but has more oak and a weird mouthfeel.

I like it. Also, the colour is ridiculous.

Edit: Boozy as it warms. A little too boozy maybe.

 

[Gestalten]

That's a current favorite. Can't say it's ever come across boozy though. The citrus in that is amazing.

 

[BeerMeBrah]

Anyone know if there's any truth to the rumors of a new Schaerbeekse coming out this year?
