Lambic Discussion Thread

after they specifically stated that they would be shipping some to the U.S

I could be wrong but I don't seem to remember them ever saying that. As far as I know, with those screen printed bottles, none were printed with US requirements.

Did Spontanbasil already hit stateside?

Yep.

They should just expand the Cuvee Rene line to include a raspberry, peach, and currant lamic. I'm kind of perplexed that they did a elder flower lambic before a traditional framboise.

I just want to see them do an unsweetened apple lambic that isn't impossible to get.

Hip hop is dead.

No it's not; it's just malnourished and underfed.

You know hip hop is ****** when America has finally noticed grime exists.

Link? January 2016? I don't think we even knew about this beer in January 2015 unless it was the rumored "special beer" from Lindemans, which likely turned out to be Spontanbasil.

Ah, Chuck's article. Yeah, I'm not sure, but I got the impression in June that none was coming to the US because of labeling requirements and the already screen printed bottles. A search of the TTB database doesn't reveal any label approvals for it (yet), but they've sent it elsewhere (AUS).

that is likely the case that none will come, but January of last year they said they would be sending some

Picked up two 750s of Tilquin Quetsche prunes de namur for $22.99 a pop a week ago. By far the cheapest I've seen in the US. Also, there are some 375s of oude gueuze on the shelf here if anyone is interested. Probably around 15-16$ a pop. I've spent so much on this batch (2014-2015) already I just can't justify the buy for myself

something tells me they were charged for or thought they were pricing 750s of oude gueuze.

That's roughly the same price as here too.

Any of these must haves? I am still a little new, and looking for some of your opinions before buying.

The good bottles are definitely must haves, but the extremely acetic and/or solventy ones are must nots. Sadly, it's hard to determine which is which without opening the bottle.

Although the strawberry is a pretty safe bet to avoid.

Literally all of the bottles in the rows circled are must haves.

The two experimental fruits are also must-avoids based on my personal experience. Dreadful.

I feel like I should insert a gif of people sitting around a camp fire singing kumbaya and/or a group hug.

At first I was going to say there's no way that's in Wilkes. Exeter is close enough. Prepare for an emptied shelf
