Does anyone know which years Drie bottled up OG magnums? lambic.info says '94, '96, and '04 so I've probably just answered my own question. If so, anyone know why its been 13 years since the last bottling? thanks

And the A/G ones. They are bottling/going to bottle regular OG ones here in the future as well with the new screen print bottles. There could be a few more past dates we don't know about though too.

I'm willing to bet having elementary age kids design beer labels would not be as accepted in the US.

Oh and I'm a former teacher current admin!

Also just wanted to say that I've shipped multiple boxes back home on multiple trips to Belgium, and now that 3F offers the shipping service via BIAB, I would definitely just use that. By the time you spend money on packaging supplies and all the time making sure everything is packaged correctly, you're probably not spending too much of a premium to hav BIAB/3F to the leg-work for you.

I just did it at Etre a few weeks ago. You buy bottles and bring your own, and they take care of it for you. I think they charged an extra 20 euro service fee for the two boxes that had bottles I didn't buy there.
They keep desirable bottles off the online store that you can buy there and add to your box so you can have a maxed out box.

This sounds like a great idea for my upcoming trip, however, it also seems the West Coast is the Bermuda triangle for these BiaB/Etre shipments (based on reading ITT).

Thoughts?
Edit: besides shipping to a proxy on the east coast

I've gotten a bunch of boxes from Etre in the past year. I think whatever shenanigans were happening at LAX have stopped.

When you buy straight from the shops, it's pretty transparent that there is beer inside the box. But When someone privately ships to you (like in a trade), there is usually no problem with customs. I'm just not too sure how etre/BIAB label it when they pack and ship the beer you've bought elsewhere.
