At the brewery now. Hommage and IR are 2pp and GB is 1pp.

Hommage is 19€
GB is 18€
IR is €16€

Get ready for super high US prices.

On Etre right now...

And that's all there will ever be. There will definitely be no more sold.

 

[SeaWatchman]

Hahahahahahaha those prices though (even at the brewery). NOPE.

Oof

 

[BusinessSloth]

19 euro for Hommage and 18 euro for a 750 of GB is unreasonable? What's a more realistic price? 18 euro doesn't sound insane to me for a 75cl bottle which contains 4 yr lambic. I guess I'm judging that off American pricing though, and not their local.

 

[brentsdodgers]

What was the price point on Hommage? They already have it off

 

[beerman2]

40 for Hommage on Etre.

GB has always been very pricey.

What is a regular 3F OG? like 6 Euros? At 3x that I can understand saying GB is expensive even with 4 yr lambic.

I don't know if that's a fair comparison based on the 25% base of 4 year old lambic. How much of the lambic is lost during those 4 years? I'm really curious.

Better yet, why the **** am I even thinking about this? I would and did pay those prices, and will happily markintihar the **** out of those 750's.

 

[andrewdrinks]

Is there much more at the brewery? I'm driving up that way the weekend after next on my way home for Christmas and would happily stop in. (Actually, I'd stop in anyway to load up on OG, but it makes it easier to justify if there's 75s of GB).

 

[wyatt1]

I am more excited about the 750 of GB than I am about hommage.

me too!

Has anyone tried boon black label?

 

[cavemanlawyer]

Is this a new batch of Hommage or still the 2013 vintage? Some people seem to think this was a new 2015 vintage...

I got two bottles coming. I'll open one and write a review here

 

[austinbridges]

I'm more excited for GB as well, but I'm hopeful that hommage is better this year than the 2013 blend

 

[boogercrack]

The 2013s were like 50/50 awesome or bad.

The good ones were so good.

 

[wiingman]

My birthday is Christmas, doubt any bottling is done then

Same. **** all of you and your birthdays. You're a grown ass man. Get over yourself.


Signed,
Definitely not bitter man definitely not annoyed that literally no one gives a **** about my birthday.

The one I opened was probably the best fruited lambic I've ever had. So much fruit and funk.

I hate that some of the bottles were so bad.

I hear a lot of the ones that were sold in the U.S. were bad. I wonder if the temperatures were bad when being imported or something? IIRC, they were sent around May

Bum bum bummmmmmmmm

This just in, it has nothing to do with storage/shipping conditions and everything to do with the rest of the world hating us and knowing we are gullible.

Stay tuned in for next weeks episode when we learn that the Hommage sent to the US this time around retails for 3 digits and is actually just mislabeled 3F Kriek.

[Cruize4Gueuze]

Hommage available on trappist world for the low low price of $239

I had 2013 twice, both US imports, and both bottles were fantastic. I still have my bottle that I acquired locally. Anyone find a nice sweet spot for 2007?
