I opened my first egregiously corked Cantillon this weekend: a 2013 750 mL bottle of OG purchased at the brewery. It was the last beer I still had from my visit there so it was unfortunate that it wasn't any good. The flaw, which came across like dusty newspaper more than wet cardboard (but was obviously TCA), was bad enough that the beer got drain poured. Fingers crossed I go another 5+ years before running into a really corked bottle.

I had an iris that was the same about 6 months ago. Considering it was the first really bad bottle I've had out of a hundred or so, I didn't see it as a huge deal. Dusty newspaper sounds right.

Does putting foil in it work like it supposedly does for wine?

Saran Wrap / plastic is supposed to bond with TCA and thus eliminate the fault. I’ve tried decanting a corked wine and covering with Saran Wrap before with limited success, though.

Exactly the same list as the 22nd at Carnivale Brettanomyces in Amsterdam. 12 euro a glass which is a bit steep but not totally unreasonable.

I guess Belgium lacks the cool factor for a Bokkereyder bottle release

Not sure about the prices this time but they were 30€ per bottle last time I went.

Now that’s the proper way to store Lambic.

Lay it on its side.

Then **** it.

It’s your pic, isn’t it? Did you **** the Lambic?

Shelf turd find in Leuven:

Is this the same as the other script glasses out there? Too lazy to find the other ones. Stoked to find the pair, will be going with my carry-on bag for safe keeping

Yeah, that's one of the three. I think people generally call that one the wine glass, the other two are tumbler and flute. Nice find!
