Lambic Discussion Thread

[Saind]

I think Tommie Sjef buys lambic wort for his stuff.

Not anymore, he has wort brewed at Ramses

 

[SeaWatchman]

Speaking of which Mark Tranter recently said he's one of three non-Belgian outfits who get lambic from Girardin. Anyone know who the other two are?

Alan from Neil & Ross gets his lambic from there.

BIIR used to as well right?

I was wondering if that was one of them but wasn't that a one-off ages ago?

He's done a couple more (mostly really small and private) blends since then with Girardin.

I believe so, yeah.

How awesome! Really cool seeing new blenders and Brewers starting up. I hope to try some of Brette-Elle's Lambic in the coming years.


Granted I don't speak Flemish and couldn't read the article, have any of the Brewers/owners blended or brewed lambic in the past?

Well, the name Panneels rings some bells, probably coincidence

I did notice that, though I figured it was a coincidence. Is it not? Someone tag yves if he has an account, I want answers!

Anyone know what kind of cheese Cantillon & 3F sell in their stores? What would be a similar cheese we get here in the U.S. (aside from being washed in lambic)?

IIRC, it's a soft cow milk type cheese, but can't find something that's as firm as they have there, only the triple creme. Is it like Camembert?

Paging BusinessSloth. This gif accurately sums him up at both places last week.

A very appropriate tag Compton.

My friend you are looking for a cheese called Comte. It's a semi-firm cow's milk cheese deriving from France. Cantillon washes the rind with their Gueuze I believe.

Happy to answer any questions I can about it.

The cheese they sell to go isn't the comté I believe. It's a softer cheese made by Dupont

 

[lembeeker]

Yea, it doesn't look like Comté, it looks like this (Wavreumont?):

Just wondering if there was a cheese like it we get in the U.S. or if we have to find some small cheese shop that orders direct from small producer's in Europe to get some.

Definitely not Comte.

 

[BusinessSloth]

Definitely not Comte.

You're right. I was thinking of Chez Moeder's cheese. So damn good.

Plusnim I'm a little drunk and pissed off at a certain veterinary clinic that may be about to be hit with a few civil lawsuits. But that's off-topix

They were selling comté at Cantillon as well last weekend. But just a plate to eat there

I spent a lot of time in Belgium singing "Comte's in the House."

Anyway if it's this cheese you're looking for:

...it's basically a North Belgium/Netherlands cheese that they just know of as "kaas," which I learned from my gf means "cheese." The closest thing here is soft gouda - I actually saw something extremely similar at Whole Foods last week in the Gouda section.

I adored that stuff btw. Brought home some, but it's long gone.

Comte with lambic is the truth

Now we're on food, does anyone know if that sausage made with geuze they sell at Moeder is for sale anywhere?

Could always ask Moeder for sausage to go?

A great, collective sigh of relief has been exhaled by the lambic community - that was a close one!
