Lambic Discussion Thread

Pretty gutted to be missing 3F OBD this year. Doubly gutted now I've seen what's on sale - A&G Magnums, OGV and 'Zenne y Frontera Solera'. Hope everyone who's going has a great time.

Zenne b2 is tasting amazing. 30yr sherry is much more dominant than in b1. A lot more carmelized raisins coming through. Really lovely and I am positive it will age gracefully.

That's crazy, some people just don't care about lambic though. I got 2x JCN in exchange for Bruery stouts a few years ago.

At least that's the given limit for two people and not some mule haul.

3F Oude Kriek bottled 04/14/14

The standard 3F oude kriek bottles with a touch of age to them are so good. Tons of mineral cherry funk with really low acidity.

as promised, also 14/4/2014. Thanks for pointing out that they are in great shape, mine was too. Not acidic, but super balanced with all the cherry flesh goodies, and of course the almonds.

Which I guess are on these magnums?

Does anyone have more info on this?

I'm almost certain Platinum Blend hasn't been blended/bottled yet and that the cages for it are silver or gray. White cages are currently for the experimental Twist of Fate stuff.

 

[SeaWatchman]

Holy crap this is good.

Anyone know if Zenne will be distributed widely or we're most bottles sold during the open days?

Thought I read there were less bottles than the previous batch though I may be mistaken.

3,000 bottles (per the label) and "500" bottles sold during OBD. I doubt we'll see very much distributed to bars and restaurants much less retail.

 

[loeyjarko]

I mean wide in terms of reach, not quantity. In any case, the brewery experience looks very nice. Will have to make it there next time I'm near Belgium

 

[sunnrider]

I have very little hopes of trying the new Zenne unless it stays available onsite for a few months.

The Cantillon model of holding the good stuff for in house really seems to be working (we won't mention those awful webshop sales).
Someone said they had 2006 Gueuze available right now. That alone is worth a plane ticket.

Some higher end restaurants in Belgium and around will get some boxes as I understood. Other bottles will be on site only.

I did a double take yesterday when some dude was like "Can someone give me an update on the line and limits? on the .info FB page. " I genuinely thought I was in a Treehouse group all of a sudden.

 

[koplamp]

Just when you think you've heard it all, a neckbeard shows up behind us in line at 3F yesterday, talking to his buddy about a Mariage Parfait. 'I think that gooze was barrel aged'

Do they pay students to stand in the line for Treehouse beers too?

Homeless people and Craigslist folk. It's a draw.

You're saying I could have gotten paid?
