Lambic Discussion Thread

Damn. I have a long ways to go to get near that list. Although I do average over 4 likes per post.

We're both chasing tosh now though. ****.

I blew past you two clowns ages ago.

I got a secret JulianB , SeaWatchman post not ***** stuff, people like that. It wrks for me.

For relevance, it looks like I am done with overseas orders thanks to you ******* idiots.

For ***** sake, beer needs to go back 6 or 7 years and stop growing.

A friend gave me his uncarbed hombrew innoculated with lambic culture. Seriously would drink equally as much as commercial lambic/gueuze.

Probably just gonna stalk him for beer now. Who even needs stores.

It's pretty well established, though, that lots of Europeans are happy to trade lambic for big american stouts. I don't really find this ISO at all surprising.

 

[andrewdrinks]

But Zenne? Maybe it's just my circle of Euros but there's a reluctance to trade it, and definitely not for a single bottle of a BA stout, wooden box or otherwise. Bit I agree, I'm not surprised to see the ISO:FT

Who was it that was looking for 10/31/14 3F OG?

Zenne is indeed different, maybe because it was 1pp. Of course some people got multiples but there's still a lot of honest people in Belgium (like me) who only buy what they are allowed. If I had more than 1 I wouldn't think twice about trading it or giving it away but as it stands I have only 1 and it's not going anywhere.

Other lambic I'd gladly trade for American stouts.

I imagine everyone. Or at least they should be.

Which stouts in particular?


You did get me a Zenne, right?

My once a year opening of this 11/27/13 bottling. Still doing great, not as highly carbonated as I remember it being from last year (i.e. It didn't gush out). Killer head retention though. Nose is really grassy with mineral notes and not s ton of funk. Taste is biting upfront with its acidity but as it opens up it settles into a classic Drie blend with grassy notes, subtle maltiness, and a slight citrus note. No real sulphuric notes to speak of. Really great all around. I've almost got enough of this date to open one a year until I'm 60. If you have one, please let me know! I am still looking for more!

Any particular reason you pick this bottling? Birthday or just a great vintage? Or do you just have several of each bottling date any bust them out each year?

Trade with him. I did for some of that bottling and am very happy I did. If I had more I'd do it again.

We can start the bidding at 1 Rare. Do I hear 1 Rare?

The guy's original offer was Rare for Z&F 1:1 which was lightly ridiculed. 3,000 1pp vs whatever Rare's distribution is (a whole lot more).

I sent mine to a regular trade buddy with nothing agreed. If I was trading it for real it certainly wouldn't be for shelf whales.

 

[tommyguz]

Drink with Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Soup = Winning!!

****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had zero desire to purchase that beer until I read this. Hate you....

How did you not change it to Toasted Cheese?

 

[tommyguz]

All of this makes me so glad I have almost* no interest in playing the online lambic ordering game.

*I priced out a box the other day that I'll probably order at some point because I want some glassware.

I thought that way for a while and then just did two orders in a span of like a month. it's a terrible road to go down.

These were extras in my last trade. Any information on these? I am assuming they are back sweetened. Any significance to the slightly different bottle sizes?
Any help is appreciated.

 

[SeaWatchman]

Just older Belle-Vue bottles, probably sweetened, maybe not though. It's hard to tell until you actually open them up.
