Lambic Discussion Thread

[Padraig]

I always got the impression that Cantillon undercut the local retailers somewhat by selling it stupidly cheap on-site.

It was gone before that was posted.

 

[thegerm87]

Well that was quick!

 

[Shakedwnst]

Unbelievable

 

[wolfman1201]

Both sizes were available. Max 1pp. And lots more OG.

 

[cfh64]

Jesus. I checked at 5 am, nothing. Drive to work, check ~1 1/2 hours later, gone. I give up, OG will suit me just fine.

Not trying to be rude but if this is your definition of fast then I'd give up any hope of getting anything limited on the online shops. Just the way it goes now. You have maybe 5 min to get an order in when it hits the shop.

So much this. Especially with A&G. Isn't it literally the same thing with a different label?

I figured, heard plenty of stories but never tried for anything other than "shelf" lambic. There's still a few beers out there I'll always want but for the most part I'm glad I've thrown in the towel on chasing.

I'll drive down the street, pick up a few bottles of single malt and forget all about it.

As far as being the same as OG, I really don't know. I think it's roughly the same and there's no special treatment that I'm aware of. I assume there's some nuances but not worth going crazy for, more nostalgia than anything IMO.

I could be completely off, obviously never had it but so far the reviews aren't off the charts or anything.

Kind of, but not. First time they used lambics brewed only at 3F to make a gueuze. The previous OG batches were blends using lambic from 3F and other producers.

I would assume that all 3F gueuze from here on out will be in house blend, so it would be this beer. This is just the first batch of that in house blend.

I wonder if anyone has crashed their car trying to buy lambic on etre while driving.

Not that anyone's ever done that on an interstate on their way to work this morning or anything.

Definitely not me...and definitely not this morning.

Oh so you're the guy I curse at on the highway, and passive aggressively glare at when I pass them...

Maybe that's what the stupid bitch in the minivan was doing as she was swerving all over the 3 lane road. Had I known she was ordering from Etre I would have hit her ass and use my insurance money to buy more lambic.

Essentially.

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Dudes, it's the same thing as A&T except they blended Gaston into it instead of Tomme. NBD.

Gaston is so much more rustic than Tommey tomme tommi

 

[RyanG1]

Those scripts be working!

Tommey tomme tommi

No one blends like Gaston! Nothing drinks like Gaston!

When Gaston was a boy he drank 4 magnums every morning to get in the zone.
And now that hes grown he drinks 5 magnums straight to the dome.

Seems legit since shipping is included. I mean, right?

 

[CornAndBeer]

I would assume that all 3F gueuze from here on out will be in house blend, so it would be this beer.

I'd be surprised if he completely stopped buying other places wort but I suppose it could happen

 

[mrand01]

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.

I see/hear this kinda **** all the time. Do foreign brewers not understand that not every state gets their beer? I'm in NJ, and I think we'll start getting Tilquin soon, which would be great, as all that's available here is Lindemans. **** this place.

 

[CornAndBeer]

Surely, 12% has been selling beer to distributors in NJ for sometime? If so, I don't think your issue is with Pierre

edit: Crazy at least at the end of 2014 NJ didn't have 12%. Shocking to me considering the "headquarters" of Evil Twin is in an adjacent state.

 

[mrand01]

Actually 12% is pretty new in NJ, from what I know. And we still haven't seen Tilquin, as far as I know.
