I got up at 5 am here and all of that was up. Well the Iris wasn't, but somehow 2 bottles went up as I was refreshing the page after making my initial order, so that was cool.

Damn. I get up at 430 to go to the gym but I don't think about buying beer at that time... suppose I should do so more often.

Y'all were up too early this morning. I placed my order at like 6:00 eastern and all that **** was already taken down.

Oh yeah? well I get up at like 3:30 AM every day to prepare breakfast for the homeless and all of the bottles were still available so I texted all of my friends real quick so that they could buy them all.

When you say "prepare breakfast for the homeless," I take it you mean you make homeless people mule beer orders for you?

This is what he meant by "texting" them.

I thought GB'14 was straight-up fantastic right out of the gate at the 3F Open Days. Regret not buying a case now.

 

[awinkro]

I'd do it every day without hesitation.

TREAT YO' SELF!

 

[Shakedwnst]

Same here. No '11, but that '14 I had was incredible, thought it was really close to the A&T we had that day.

How much is a bottle of vig? Or iris? Just trying to figure out the additional cost of ordering from a different site and not having to wake up at 5am for a chance to get these bottles.

Thanks!

Vig is anywhere from $25-40 in my experience. Not sure where you plan to buy from but I'd imagine there is a significant mark up on that type of site.

Iris is $22-$30 and I'd think there would be less of a markup on other sites.

 

[Shakedwnst]

I really wanted to know the price on etre this morning for those bottles since they are no longer listed and I can't tell.

I don't have to ask because I have some sitting in my house, but I'm wondering how much markup some of these other sites are charging. From what I've seen the markup on etre is about as low as it gets.

Unless of course some kind soul out there wants to PM a different site to peruse.

I just had a Giradin black label, I think it was a 2015. Man, that was a tasty Geuze. I love Giradin anyway but this one was superb. I might because my day sucks really bad or it might be that the 2015 vintage is great. Maybe both.

 

[Shakedwnst]

Thank you Hookemhops13 , much appreciated!

Looks like about 10 euros a bottle to not have to wake up at 5am to hunt lambic.

First time having this. 13-11-2012 bottle. Sweet cherry pie on the nose. Loads of fruit on the pallate. Wood, light funk and tart cherries. Finishes wonderfully dry and tart. Really enjoing this one. The latest batch is turding up shelves locally. I may have to pick up a few.

If you're gonna pay the money for Intense Red you should really at least attempt to clean your glass.

It is much more jammy fresh. I haven't had the new batch yet but am looking forward to it.

The glass was spotless before I poured the beer. That's carbonation on the inside of the glass. Geez... Tough crowd for a Friday night.

That's carbonation clinging to all the **** you should have scrubbed out of your dirty ass glass!

I literally washed the glass right before I poured the beer. Dried it with a terry cloth towel. Got the towel out of the cupboard clean. Not much else I can say.... Dunno. Beer was good. I'll try to pay more attention to my towels and such in the future. Appreciate your input. Duly noted, etc....

Do you live somewhere with hard water? The bubbles form on nucleation sites, which can be dirt, scratches, or just tiny deposits of calcium, etc. that are pretty inevitable if your water is hard.

That feeling when your Zenne goes 1,000 miles the wrong way out of customs, but then comes back 9 days later.

And USPS wonders why it's going broke.
