Lambic Discussion Thread

I only wanted to get all three just to make shipping worthwhile.

I added some glassware and a basket. Didn't have any Cantillon glassware or a lambic basket of any sort, so seemed like a good time to grab some swag.

I don't really see how. My entire argument was that the release should be smoother than the previous ones because a significant number of people should be priced out. Then the release was smoother! (At least for me, ymmv.)

You do you man. No h8 here.

I was actually thinking of asking if I could grab a shirt to including in the same box. I had one in my cart earlier but it appears it timed out when finally checking out.

I haven't even been able to get to the site from my phone or my desktop since 11 this morning. Maybe I've been virtually banned from the webshop.

same. Managed to get in after VPNing into another location though... Seems they didn't like my spamming F5 at 11ish either

Hey guys, just wanted to say I didn't try to get lambics and I didn't get any.

Based on the bottle counts released, it was hardly anything. The locals have it made...they can go there and drink amazing stuff on site. Let the international (ahem...american) beer geeks get a stab at a measly 190 bottles. Even my local crap brewery can sell out 190 bottles fairly quickly.

Those same people baulk at 3F raising their prices by a few euros too.

And thanks for always having a wide variety of bottles on site only and always opening interesting bottles for people when they visit!

Damn even when you're doing something for a good cause you can't escape criticism, people will complain about anything.

Sweet, thanks man. Cheers!

Didn't knew there was a release today , would trade for one of those bottles

The rest of your argument, maybe. But this line not so much:

but it seems really silly to me that people aren't stopping to think about whether some grape beer is actually worth that.

It is silly! This whole thing is silly! YOUR FACE IS SILLY!!!!

 

[belvedere86]

Within a few weeks they will complain that people sell these bottles on secondary for 450euro.

But why else would you pay 150euro for a stupid bottle of beer?

And no you dont care about those wine folks.
