That label on the back is also an Oude kriek one But yeah I can't really help you, I never could make any sense of De Cam dating and labeling.

Thanks for that though this is one of the oldest bottles I've ever had had and the other one the date structure was pretty well known, so everything you said was news to me

Is my request for the Facebook group being held up because I'm in shitty beer groups for laughs?

There's a queue of people yet from the past couple of days. Likely we haven't gotten around to stalking your profile to makes sure it's not a fake account.

 

[LukeAleTime]

What's this facebook group? Is there anything interesting there?

Nope, it is Facebook.

Facebook is my goto comedy channel. Anytime you feel a bit stressed or sorry for yourself, 10 mins on Facebook or Tumbler will see you right again.

I'm sure they're all just looking for info on the best webshops to buy Fou and/or general lambic shitlordery. Skip 'em and approve me!

 

[Macenson]

So really? No additional info on that bottle or something I could look into next?

 

[Maakun]

I checked my cellar, and my only Oude Lambiek bottle has a 2001 label (date crossed out) but I'm quite sure it's only a few years old. De Cam is notorious for using old labels (and in your case the back label is not even a label from the same beer).

 

[Macenson]

Cool. Good feedback, thanks. The label is on the crispier side. Oh well. Still going to drink it this year. I guess a true blind taste test

I have a 2000 bottle (date crossed over with black) and I'm pretty sure it's a 2014 vintage (was sold as a '2014 anyway). Label most probably is 16(+) years old though..

That's good info. Also hallarious to me. It's it that expensive to buy more labels? 2014 I might agree it a little longer so this all helps, thanks guys.

I think there's an error on the Quetsche page.

You have 06/02/2024 listed twice as Euro Bottling. I think one should be US bottling.

Here's the pic:

Considering a bulk purchase. Thanks in advance.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls I’d like to take a moment to introduce the newest members of the Lambic.Info team. Both Dave Janssen and Alexandre Leduc are joining as new contributors and hailing from America’s attic, Canada, where they’ve agreed to take a break from their competitive curling careers.

Dave Janssen writes the Hors Catégorie Brewing blog (http://www.horscategoriebrewing.com/), and brings a wealth of knowledge about historic and current brewing techniques, beer styles, and Belgian beer in general. Dave moonlights as an actor at the local community playhouse. Typecast as “Bully Number 2”, Dave earns his keep by producing and acting in 80’s remakes of John Travolta made-for-tv movies.

Alex Leduc currently writes for Le malt incarné (https://www.facebook.com/lemaltincarne). In addition to adding another French speaker to the project, Alex will be helping as we continue to expand with new projects and ideas. That includes digging through the french articles currently in our bibliography and helping bring more of that content to the site. When he’s not obsessing over lambic, Alex is an avid moose hunter, maple syrup wrangler, and hillbilly hand fisherman. He also dances a mean Bastringue.

We are lucky to have Dave and Alex on our team. As far as i know, neither of them are on Talkbeer, but feel free to shoot them an email or reach out on facebook and take a minute to welcome them and test everything that you learned in your workplace harassment training. (Be nice though. After this election season, these guys are going to be our slumlords).

- SeaWatchman, Forgetfu, duketheredeemer , callmemickey, SwedishJesus, and jedwards

You should see if Dave will make the TB logo out of cages, he's made some truly amazing cage art before.

Did y'all read that back label? "To be drink preferably within the 10 years after the bottling date". Love me some broken Jeanglish.

 

[pmoney]

I looked on lambic.info and didn't see anything about the new Side Project insta-whale. I assume it will be added soon.

Aug 29 UGH, they're never gonna bottle it on the 23rd...feelsbadman

2016 Grand Cru Bruocsella (2013 label) - Aug 22 2016

 

[Forgetfu]

Last week at The Festival, I had an opportunity to talk with Jean (Cantillon) and Jean (Moeder) for a few hours on Sunday. We walked through quite a few of the recent beers that Cantillon has released as well as events and other interesting updates. I'll be continuing to update the group over the coming days as we add that content to the site.

For the first update, we did a massive rewrite of the Lambic Vin Jaune page. Check it out, lots of new lambic.info.

New dates for the logs. RdG & Kriek.

What's the size on the new glasses? Perhaps I breezed right by that.

Just ordered a set and am excited.

The glasses are the same size as the smaller Tilquin tumbler.

Think he meant a sweet sweet set of lambic.info glasses

(which I also ordered, and pointing this out will get me at least one like? Plz?)

[Steve2]

Late to the party but ordered myself a set as well. Keep up the good work, guys!

xx/xx/2015 375 LPK was indeed bottled the same day as the 75cl. 10th of september 2015.

They added a backlabel, not sure if that means they're planning to sell it to go?

 

[mikecharley]

New date for cantillon gueuze 750.

Oct 13 2006.





Was black foil over a plain gold crown

Love the misspelling on the cork.
