I'm really curious how this batch is considering it has 5 year lambic. I loved '11 GB.

It's actually not 5 year. That was an error I believe perpetrated by Etre. It's 4 yr lambic.

I checked the bottles when I got to work and they seemed fine. That's the weird part because that would mean I think it leaked on the drive home, but all the bottles were upright???

I received a bottle recently that I thought leaked, but after looking closer it appeared it was just corked while overfull so some liquid got trapped between the cork and the foil. I shook it like crazy and let it sit upside down for a day, and no liquid escaped.

Thanks. I ain't worried about it at all. I threw it in the fridge to drink tonight. Ugh the horror! Being forced to drink delicious cherry mead. I'm outraged and offended

They're gone. I saw them yesterday but I didn't wanna place an order quite yet since Mure was already gone.

Well that explains a lot, that seemed pretty insane when I initially read it.

Yeah, I don't blame you. I couldn't justify paying 60 euros for 2 beers since there was nothing else that I wanted. Let's just hope for US distro soon.

Dat CD is 11, and after looking at this thread I am just feeling like I need to rustle up a gang of Golden Blend. Thank me later, wallet!

I'm mostly interested in Mure and Namur, which are supposedly coming stateside very soon. Ofc, Golden Blend as well; will go nicely with my 2011 Golden Blends...

More Southerly Love.

yesssssssssssssss

What is the availability on Southerly Love and how long will it hang around. I am moving in a couple weeks, so I don't need to be acquiring more beer to move, but I would love to get some around August

A regular trader dropped this on me today, a nice box of Minnesota love. Thanks Jeff

First time in years that I've had beer break in luggage. Lost 2 bottles. But at least these still made it back.

The rest of the box was full of several other people's orders.

SocalKicks grabs a guy a few Home Sour Homes as a goandpickitupformebro and turns it into an open ended trade where he decided to hit a few things from my Untappd wants list.

I got those "my box was inferior" feels

 

[niner99]

Just a random box showed up tonight from my Fla buddy...no reason, just because! WTF??

We need a full report. There are still 2014 Golden Blends stuck in Belgium seeking asylum in the U.S. Any information you can provide will aide us in expediting the return of these bottles to the land of the free. Thank you for your service.

I'll pop one in a little bit and report back. Cork will explode though

During the regular onsale, I was lucky enough to get 4x 3-day passes to the Grateful Dead shows this weekend. The 3-day passes were all behind or to the side of the stage, and as a consequence, were in the cheapest price tier ($67 after fees per each ticket). The plan was for me and my 2 touring buddies to go all 3 nights, with one wife taking the 4th ticket each night. However, my friend from NYC bailed completely, my other buddy dropped down to one show, so I had some extra tickets. I got the next group of friends in line, but I sill had 3 extra tickets (2 for tonight and 1 for tomorrow). So I threw up an offer on here.

The day I put up the offer, tickets in my same section and row were listed on stubhub for $450 each (no idea if they sold at that price, but they were towards the low end, even in my section). Also, my buddy told me there were some insane offers on FB (I'm not on it) - multiple SR-71s and Assassin for a ticket. However, for Dead and Phish tickets, I've always been a face-value trader/seller, and in beer trades, I'm more comfortable if I'm the one putting up multiples for one, or going over $4$. So I threw up some arbitrary options that I would be comfortable paying $60 (rounded) for. I got one deal on here for 2 tickets, and threw up the same offer on cashortrade.org for the last ticket.

For $200 in tickets, here's what I got:

Pulling Nails B2
Wild Peach
Vintage 2014
4 packs contain 3x 14 regular, 3x 14 BW, 13 regular, 12 regular
2008 BCBS
Vanilla Rye
Indeed Rum King

Totally happy - would've spent that scalper money on beer anyway
