But the brewers and others have been calling it that for years!

Exciting news! That's a lot of Brabantiae!

Well, now I know what I'll be trading all of my A/T for.

 

[Rowingbrewer1]

Can't wait. and with ~25000 liters of capacity in port barrels there will likely be quite a few bottles produced

So stoked for b2. B1 was amazing.

 

[matedog]

So did they make a ton of B1? For a one off from 1991, there are more untappd check ins than I would expect.

There was a huge cache of it discovered not very long ago. People in the know apparently even have theories about how bottles in certain spots of the storage room are better than others.

B1 was one of those things I always sort of wanted to try but never did.

A) I assume most of those bottles get Chicago poured to 30 people

B) Given the condition of most of the bottles I've seen photos of, I can't believe there's not a bunch of counterfeits out there.

Is this a show on History?

Ancient Dusties

lol. Experts gonna expert.

B2 won't be as good, because the label won't give you ancient hepatitis like B1 did.

(Would literally be 100,000 words arguing upright or sideways to no satisfying conclusion)

I´m going to start queuing outside the brewery tomorrow, just in case. By 2019 it´ll stretch to, at least, Brugges.

Don't worry I heard it's 50ml nip bottles. 1 per person so should be enough for all the neck beards

50ml and 1 per person means that approximately 24 people from Chicago will drink from the same bottle and still have dregs leftover to homebrew with.

Anyone have a Goedele's Bloesem? just received one and its not corked, just capped. found that to be a little strange. it also looks like they reused the caps from SpontanBasil, its green. but even the Basil i have is corked! can anyone confirm?

Here's a pic of mine that was picked up at DHvL. Capped only, no cork.

thank you for the quick response! thats exactly how mine looks. find it strange that they wouldn't cork it. on their website it says: "To keep the flavour as pure as possible only a cork is used without the usual Geuze ‘stopper’, a revolutionary technique in Geuze-land!"

The version with the cork has a higher trade value, I think.

Greater cellaring potential

from an email i sent DHVL:

Yes, all bottles are just capped because we want to have the real taste of the blossom without any influence of the cork.

Enjoy the beer.

I thought you knew, the cork is where the funk comes from, that's why bottles get funkier if you store them on their sides and most funky of all upside down.
