There are still some that give no ***** and still ship Tilquin.

I figured, hence the FWIW.

 

[Ziggy]

FWIW, at of 03/31/2016 Pierre requested all online sellers stop selling any Tilquin products.

Why did he do that?

 

[ac24]

Why did he do that?

Because Americans are greedy ********.

But srs. Let me guess. Bunch of knobs bought a ton of mure online or something and flipped them

My understanding, and correct me if I am wrong, Pierre feels as if the US gets more than enough Tilquin and he doesnt like that these stores are buying them to send even more to the US.

I remember reading that but again I might be wrong.

This pic is from april, it's most likely gone.
On a related note, I have a shitload of Tilquin^2

Tradesies?

 

[Saind]

I'd give up Aunis before my squared. I love that stuff

Just drank the 750 I was supposed to be saving for longer term aging. Was drinking fantastic and no regrets except not buying a shitload when I saw a case each of 750s/375s on a shelf (...well it was actually a barrel). Enjoyed it more than the Mure 750 we had right after.

Is this a cheaper alternative to trying Blabaer? Think I'm going to have to pull the trigger on this STAT!

It's more expensive than doing shots of vinegar with a lemon chaser, but a blabaer alternative? Not so much.

I was being facetious

popped this at a blueberry lambic tasting and it was consensus #1

 

[wuntrikpony]

if you were curious, here was the tasting panel.

While I'm here, I should mention that this was a first time bang:

It was really, really tart. My only other De Cam to date is the Special, which I really, really like. As this one warmed up, I started enjoying it more, and I was thinking how similar it was to Cantillon RdG; I wish I had done a side-by-side to actually compare the two. So it was quite good (I really like RdG), but the tartness was too much for me - I had to split the bottle over the course of 2 nights. This beer would be great in a 375 or at a bottle share, but 750 was too much for me to do on my own in one night.

I've had a bottle that was one of the best beers I've ever had, but as with most traditional fruit lambics the batch and even bottle variation can be huge.

Interested how a Cantillon or 3F online store selling bottles would work.

Maybe a system with credits. Like each account has 10 credits. Regular geuze is 1 credit while something like lp fram is 3 or so.

But some ***** would create multiple accounts + it's also illegal to ship alcohol to the USA... Hmmm I wonder myself.

The problem is that our loyal customers, who know our products and have been buying them for years, think we are passing them up

I guess those of us who have been doing that in the US just don't count.

I wonder if they realize who is primarily driving their growth? I feel like severe secondary abuse of gueuze and lambic is minimal.

3 Fonteinen has no plans to start an online channel for selling their beers. Cantillon apparently does though.

I also wonder if they get how difficult it is for most people to acquire their beer. Last I saw 3F Gueuze on a shelf was 4-5 years ago.

I've talked to distributors in my area and it sounds like Shelton Bros have been difficult to deal with for whatever reason.

Seems like they hoard an awful lot for their "festivals".

Opened a DHVL 20th Saturday. Word to the wise, some of those bottles are weapons-grade carbonated. Cork shot off about as soon as cap was removed.

This...my bottle was pretty heavily carbed but luckily didn't take an eye out.

"Hey guys! We open our web bottle shop right now!"
Site is immediately DDOSd for the foreseeable future.

I opened one a couple days after purchase while still in Brussels and it was totally fine - maybe the travel / air pressure / dickbutts may have done something that affets the carb?

Also, this is such an interesting beer. I remember it being quite hoppy for a geuze, yet greatly enjoyable.

RayP, looks like you needed T2, not degarde to get some anus from your wife. New market adjustment

It's interesting how they're talking only about foreign resellers, yet they still sell beers to Belgian webshops that mark up the price 1000%...
