will there ever be another lambic.info glass sale

There will be, yes. There will also be another glass in the distant future.

You have no idea how much of a pain it is to get ribbed tumblers in the US.

Why not do a different style of glass? I know the tumbler is traditional for gueuze, but why not do a fruited lambic glass a la the Cantillon taster or something wine-like?

Details...

It was posted on http://www.trappistworld.com/store/index.php.

People were told to wait between 20 - 40 minutes before purchasing for full enjoyment.

Someone with some new money was impatient and did not want to wait.

 

[GetchaPull]

didn't we have someone on the board who made lambic cradles? Would have posted in the RBTT but those homies are arguing about the clarity of IPA's.

I know a guy in Mississippi who makes them and will take orders. Anybody can PM for details...can send noodz and/or pics of the one I asked him to make.

Trappist world has golden blend 2011 for $35. That is a deal compared to their normal prices.

Only time those two words have ever been said in the same sentence.

Except they were said in separate sentences.

Good God this was fantastic last night. moderate to high level barnyard, moderate cheese, some lemon zest notes, like a 5 year old Cantillon gueuze on steroids.

Sounds like it's coming into it's own. Wish I had been able to find more bottles to age.

Saw that and the Zenne at noon or so today. The GB is a good deal, but even shipping 5 (which is the best deal), it still comes out to $44 shipped per bottle. Which is tough to pull the trigger on.

Thought about that for sure. We ran a poll in the FB group and tumbler blew everything else away. The next design for the print on the tumbler is going to be very traditional/nerdy!

It's a pain, yes, but they're ribbed for your pleasure.

Little late with that joke

This is why I shouldn't go on the internet after work. Or really any time at all.

Those tumblers also seem to be pretty durable and less likely to break if you do accidentally drop it. ******* stemmed glass or crystal breaks if you look at it wrong.

Yeah, I rarely drink anything out of a stemmed glass. They annoy the **** out of me.

Sharing some thoughts: made a biab order and etre order a few days apart last week, both left belgium and arrived to jfk on the same day. I noticed USPS doesn't scan when it arrives and exits customs anymore, it just lets you know when its processed through ISC and then when it gets to your local post office. My etre box came 2 days earlier than the biab box, no problems, but my biab box (which was about twice the size) was held longer. When I finally got the biab box it had a huge deep gash on the bottom (leaving everything exposed) and it was obvious that customs was digging around. Luckily all my bottles were there, haven't fully inspected each for tampering yet. What I think happened was 2 boxes from 2 different sources going to the same address might of looked suspicious for customs so TLDR is don't have 2 orders shipped at the same time.

Possibly the quality of the boxes? My most recent biab order had a huge cut in the side of it and you could see the bottles (in their pool noodles) clearly through it.

Yeah I guess this is a possibility too

 

[Shilt]

Had similar issues with my most recent BIAB order. I was glad everything was safe, but there was a huge gash in the side of the box. Was worried about the contents for sure.

 

[Snarf1]

Weird that boxes at the weight limit made from **** carboard are showing up with holes in them.

I wish it was just holes
