Lambic Discussion Thread

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.

somehow I managed to break a Lambic.info tumbler . Fortunately, I ordered two

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.

Speaking of tumblers, anyone have a lead on where I can scoop a Girardin one? Am i stuck just adding one to a box at some point or are there any more easily attained out there?

Looks like BIAB is you best bet for that glass. Didn't see any on ebay

Noooooooooooooo.vader

 

[SeaWatchman]

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.

Had the same thing happen as well with a box of 19 bottles. I'm lucky it made it for sure.

Hommage 2015 is now sold out at 3F as of yesterday. Golden Blend still available but 1pp. Saw a Hommage on sale in one of the tourist traps in central Brussels (beerplanet) - €120. **** off.

On the plus side I landed a half case of GB 375s and a Mûre 375 amongst others, and had the rabbit at Nuetnigenough with a glass of 2-year unblended Cantillon, so not a bad day out.

 

[harrymel1]

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

Better be stemware or GFY

Nope.

Jesus, I thought they only tried to pull that **** in the online shops. If stores IN Belgium are charging that we're all screwed!

That place (beer planet) sucks equally bad in person as it does on line

 

[boogercrack]

My last BIAB box was actually the best looking one at receiving it of the previous 4. Amazing more aren't total losses.

 

[harrymel1]

Nope.

GFY

Does anyone know if 2015 Hommage is hitting the US?

Got to do the '07 OGV verse '07 OG yesterday.

OGV was the clear champ in the side by side. Would have been awesome to drink a full pour of the OGV but Dunt decided it was a good idea to throw a chocolate bar like it was a ninja star at my glass knocking it on my lap.

To be honest, I kinda forgot it even happened until I went to throw my pants in the laundry and caught a nice whiff of lambic. #crotchsniffer

What was date for the OGV ie cork type?

one was synthetic
dates were 12/27 on OGV and 2/2 on OG

 

[brian4beer]

It was a Dec bottling of OGV w a synthetcic cork? I thought the Feb bottling was the last w synthetic cork? Or was the OG the synthetic?

Sooooo completely different blends then and not indicative of any comparison between OG and OGV then?

Some people have all the luck. I can never find any cool people to share beers with.

Sorry, must have missed the memo where we cant have fun with comparing OGV vs OG unless it contains exact dates.

Stop drinking beer wrong.

I honestly dont know which had that cork. I didnt open them, hell I didnt even look at the bottles until after they were empty. I was handed glasses of each and told one was the vintage and I should guess which was which.

No worries I was just curious if that OGV bottle possibly had a synthetic cork as I thought the Feb bottling in 07 was the last of their usage.

Well you just made it sound like there's supposed to be something different between OG and OGV, sorry. Even if they were the same date (2012, for example), to me they're the exact same blend/beer.
