There are still 2 there. You only get that comment when you try to add more to the cart than are available.

Hommage on Etre. Added as I was placing another order. First time I ever lucked out like this, as I am too dumb to know how to set up the notices everyone else gets to know when the Cantillon / 3F page has been updated.

I tried them. They're honestly ****** unless you pay for better features. You get a ton of false alerts.

I know a few who pay for the better features. I think it's dumb but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I actually did sign up for one of the free ones, and cancelled after a day. Partly because of the infrequent (and false) notifications, and partly because it just felt really stupid to obsess over it that much.

Maybe take a second look at what name you replied to......

Funny, I randomly checked out etre at 9:28am (eastern) today and these weren't up yet. So they went real fast!

 

[brentsdodgers]

Green Walnut is up as well. Glad I listened to guys the last time those came around. Good stuff.

It's ******* ******** that Etre won't ship me paté.

Yeesh, kinda glad I missed the Golden Blend. Love that beer, but I would've felt at least a little bad about the price. For a minute. Maybe I can get a third Intense Red 750 in this box?

If you want to spend €325 BiaB has a decent box for sale.

Almost pulled the trigger but decided against it because I really only wanted a few of the bottles. Seemed like a decent price for what was in the box.

I would love to buy that "tasting pack". But it works out to about $488 USD shipped which is insane for 16 bottles (only 4-5 of which aren't available regularly on the webshops).

I didn't do the math to USD with shipping. That doesn't feel like as good of a deal. Glad I passed.

you are really paying for the LPG and golden blends.

Gueuze (and gooze) week day 3!

Tilquin Squared: Absolutely love this beer, its leagues ahead of regular Tilquin. I'm running out of words to use to pretend like I know how to describe gueuzes... uh, lemon, hay, oak funk? Its been amazing to see how they're all so similar, but so different at the same time.

DDG: First thing I noticed is it tastes nothing like a gueuze... Definitely some peach and lemon in the aroma, the taste had a more one dimensional lactic acidity with a hint of vinegar. Just nowhere near as complex as the real deal. Not bad, but it definitely didn't come close to blowing me away.

Next up... Beatification b6, Beatification b7 & Herfst

And the '99 Belle Vue which is by far the most expensive bottle in the mix.

I love squared so much. Going to stock up on the new one in the fall

If I hadn't just wrapped up an Etre box I'm pretty sure I'd buy that BIAB package. $30/bottle average including some pricey bottles really doesn't seem that steep, and there isn't a single bottle in there I wouldn't be excited to drink.

There are some nice bottles in there for sure (LPG, 750 GB specifically), but it'd be hard for me to swallow paying $30 each when for about half the price of that bundle (~$250) you could get 16-18 3F OG and/or Boon Black Label shipped to your door.

37.5 cl Lambic Baskets are available from Cantillon.

I think a lot of folks must agree. At a time when pretty much anything limited/desirable sells out instantly in etre or BIAB, the fact that this bundle is still available 10 hours later is saying something. And this is easily the most desirable package they've offered in a looong time.
