Late on Mamouche discussion but I like the Lindeman's one more. Whatevs.

Opened a 2011 Golden Blend the other day. Dead flat. Still tasted amazing.

Can you explain a bit further on how this works? I just show up, buy a bunch of bottles, give them my address and it's taken care of? Do they quote me and I pay them, or is that via BiaB?

Here now. Process still isn't completely transparent, but here's the info from 3F: Shipping at 3F

It's pretty simple. I've actually got a box ready to go with Kurt from BiaB this week. Also when you fill out that form they will scan it and CC you on an email to the store notifying them that they've taken your beer and placed it on the next pallet to go out. Then it's up to you to arrange shipping with the company you chose via email. The BiaB process is pretty painless. Are you still in Brussels? I am in until Monday and fly home Tuesday morning.

First time having special lambiek, very good. Interesting mix of flavors coming through. Very little carbonation. Bottle is from 2015. Would have drank it fresh, but forgot about it in a BIAB box for 2 years

2014 Classic with powz87 .. funky lemon notes with hints of chlorine and ammonia.

Chouke 375ml front and back. Of course my birthday bottling won't be available to go!

Somewhere out there there's an instagram script that automatically comments "ISO" on any post mentioning the word hazy

Found this in a shop in Amsterdam.

Last week they had Hommage for 39 euro... It's pretty nice they can sell Cantillon for somewhat decent prices with these limits.

New 3F tumbler is up on Etre for you glassware folks.

Okay, this is the last drinking post/review from the trip to Belgium. I'm going back to drinking Yuengling for a few weeks.

Since my birthday is July 2nd, and I'm convinced there are zero lambics bottled on that date, I'm going to enjoy some DeCam geuze.

Learn more about how the bottle on the right tastes at Brews for New Avenues Oyster and Gueuze social

Have a friend going to Hasselt, Belgium in a few weeks (playing at Pukkelpop). He's going to stop by Bokkereyder for me, so hopefully there is a bottle takeaway situation.

Has anyone visited that area? Any beer shop recommendations?

Unless he knows Bokker and sets something up in advance r there's about zero chance of that happening.

Indeed, the blendery is not open for the public. Also, during Pukkelpop I won't be anywhere near Hasselt.

Thanks for tagging me, SeaWatchman

 

[STropio]

So you're saying there's a chance....

Bummer. I'll make sure to tell him no dice on Bokkereyder.

You're doing it wrong. It's all about the grey market RRBC at Bierkoning.

They did have $28 bottles of Hill Farmstead.

2010 CSG. This was absolutely phenomenal and my second great experience with a 5+ year CSG. The herbal hops had faded almost completely and a bright lemon funk had taken prominence. The lemon gave way to a champagne-like dryness and dusty limestone that left me wanting more after each sip. I sadly don't have any other CSG bottles this age, but I'm definitely ISO.

That's awesome. I still have some 2010 CSG and I really want to do it side by side with the CdC, which was the last year it was labeled as champions and the only year that both were released.

Has anyone had the third batch of Boon Black Label yet? The first batch was the best value lambic (and one of the best period) that I've had in a long time but the second was pretty different. I'm on a much tighter beer budget than usual these days so can't really just order everything to try automatically, and wondering how this new batch compares to the first two. Untappd, ratebeer, etc. don't list them separately so aren't very useful references.
