Lambic Discussion Thread

Cantillon is running their site on a web server known as 'the abacus'.

or maybe OVH/AS16276 is running the server(s)?
EDIT: oohh, now I get it...

 

[boogercrack]

a buddy got through just 5 minutes ago

Probably the one I had in my cart when my transaction failed.

 

[daniel1]

Just got through as well, payment accepted and confirmed. Glad I kept refreshing waiting for allocations to fall out of carts rather than complaining on Cantillon's social media like many.

I see JEG took a break from selling his 2017 Dark Lords and homemade lamps to troll a guy on the Cantillon FB thread. What a guy.

 

[2plums4one]

I did get an order in on the second round.

Anyone able to grab more than 1 or was there a limit?

Curious about this as well. I didn't even try.

He has me blocked, synopsis?

Responded to a guy and told him to try harder. Then made a "womp womp waaaamp" comment.

I got through about 35 minutes ago. Woo hoo!

Ugh, guess I gave up too early. Oh well, don't really need to be paying $35/bottle of these...

But its lambic...

 

[ewwiccc]

I wish I had a better alternative than that. I suppose I could trade, but that would quickly add up.

PLEASE STOP INTERFERING WITH MY RATIONALIZATIONS. THANKS.

 

[deckardjk]

I'm just more curious if 2 packs would double the shipping rate if anyone did try.

 

[Ziggy]

I gave up after 2 min. This is how i felt the whole time:

 

[nathanmiller]

nathanmiller click that link....or look how quick you may need to be.

I was not quick enough. I was actually in a meeting at the time so I couldn't have anyway. But damn.

 

[coldstorage]

These seem to be going swimmingly!

 

[SeaWatchman]

(LPK most obviously).

I wouldn't expect much more LPK. It is totally dependent upon the Schaerbeekse harvest and lately Jean hasn't used anything else but those for it (though that wasn't always the case in the past). The last two bottlings (2013 and 2014 stickers) are all Schaerbeekse cherries.

 

[Maakun]

On that note, that expansion should be paying off soon right? They said 2016-2017 brewing season should be first signs of increased output. Though I don't know if they will expand their fruited stuff as some of it is production limited (LPK most obviously).

Well, they now limit sales at the brewery of even regular gueuze, so I'd guess that would be a priority.

Well, if all goes as planned more Schaerbeekse cherries will be available the coming years. We can only hope
I should get a tree...

Kriekenboomsage to get a tree I bought one schaerbeekse krieken tree in October

I am talking to someone to acquire a set of four bottles of Goedele's Bloesem from overseas but they won't break it up. I am only ISO one or two because of the price. If you are interested, PM me.

I've got one I'm not drinking any time soon so I can get another one from dhvl
Willing to trade it

 

[boogercrack]

I made it all the way through and then got banged on a payment error through Paypal not liking my home address?

I've used Paypal for that address at least 50 times. Great time for it to bonk out on me.

In a sign of things that are awesome... Julie Van Roy contacted me about the transaction failure and offered to still fulfill the order if I was still interested in purchasing it. Amazing!

 

[ewwiccc]

Any issues getting through customs (or USPS) the west coast (bay area) during the last online sale?

I just had a box that I sent from Germany arrive in PDX.

 

[ewwiccc]

Just go the shipping info for the Cantillion grape pack

Tasting yesterday w/ islandboi8204 Fahmie25 Koges Wolverines66
Really nice bottle of A&T, probably my favorite geuze. Zomer had the usual FUNK, but was incredibly bright (if this was given to me blind I would have thought it was lente, actually). I've only had a couple Bokk bottles but this one was my favorite so far--peaches work beautifully. Tart but not abrasive.

That peach is awesome, probably one of the best beers he produced so far (imo)
