Lambic Discussion Thread

[BelgianChris]

Got lucky and bought one of the last bottles. Will crack this one on Christmas! Them banana feels

Too late

 

[Fahmie25]

Something feels a bit curious about this. Magnums only?

JVR has always noted that banana lambic is best reserved for magnum sized bottles (or larger)

I went to the "Day of the Lambic" today and tasted e.g. some 3F lambic, Boon lambic, Lindemans lambic, ...

And they also had these Bokkereyder lambics

Simply Amazing !!!

This 'Le Chat Rebelle Perzik (peach)' was also superb

nice! and you didn't even have to enter an ambiguous raffle to try all that Bokkereyder with a bunch of internet strangers...

looks like 3f is selling box sets of zenne with pedro ximenez and oloroso sherry. 195 euro for the set.

I'd buy that for sure. The sherry bottles would make a great Christmas present for my dad and youngest brother.

That´s some really low limits. I had a quick look around a few other sites and found a lot more but none with US shipping.
Best offer was 2 Iris and 3 Gueuze all 750ml for under €100

yeah, i haven't the slightest clue on sherry prices to didn't want to comment one way or another, but my main interest would be the zenne obviously so seems very steep to me...but

Such is life now. They used to be no limit at much lower prices and constantly in stock.

But the game done changed.

 

[matedog]

Finally giving etre a go. How do you know when you've filled a box? It's a 60 euro charge regardless, right?

Tell me more about this website.

You can mess with the cart until the shipping changes. A 12 bottle box of 750s is usually 78 Euro.

The weight limit is 38 lbs, and Etre lists the weight beside each bottle. Add 15% for the shipping material onto each bottle weight they show, and you can figure out what to fill your box with and stay in the 78 Euro range.

Also, if you don't order any Fantome, I will call Etre and tell them to cancel your order.

 

[sunnrider]

Not much use to you unless you live in Spain.

I also found this one, pretty regular euro prices:
6x Grand Cru Bruocsella €15
6x Kriek Lambic Bio 375ml €8.50
6x Gueuze Lambic 375ml €6.50
Total inc postage €185

No shipping to the EU?

Don´t think so.

12x 750s will take you to the 156 euro shipping price. Not worth it.

Shipping break is @ 38 lbs I believe. Either way optimal shipping is 9x 750 and 3x 375/12oz or This will keep you under the 78 euro shipping price.

If you are maxing all the 375 cantillon bottles you can fill the rest of the box with 750s and be fine.

and yeah.... boooooo to these new lower limits and higher prices. So long, fun.

*Edit: REmoved my Fantome calc, it wasn't right. I don't really order Fantome from Etre anymore (save the occasional special bottle like the new Sante) since they all show up at Ledgers, Bottle Barn, etc for about the same price. id rather save the shipping spot for something I cant get.

 

[MooseLang]

You, my friend, need to order more Fantome.

 

[coldstorage]

I live in the land of milk and honey my friend. Fantome for $1 more at ledgers and for $1 cheaper at bottle barn.

edit: You are right though. All things being equal I do need more. Always need more fantome.

Touche. And I'm jealous.

 

[Saind]

Now that's some cheap Zenne.

Has anyone heard of a 375 Hommage though?

I read the first two sentences and thought "someone orders Fantomes"... because 3F and Cantillon bottles are 11 750s plus a glass to fit in the 78 Euro limit, Fantome bottles are lighter.

Then confirmed by the last line...
