It is also cheap. 7 and change.

Did some more digging, found the labels, and created a page for it that we can update as more information becomes available!

Looks like De Troch is definitely getting a facelift in the U.S. Thanks kuemmelbrau for the tip!

Lulz.

Looks like "French" to me.

 

[Shakedwnst]

Must have been an interesting "family"

Foufoune is the nickname of the farmer that supplied the apricots: http://www.cantillon.be/br/3_107

I can't make it, but I want to say route 2 looks particularly delightful.

 

[SeaWatchman]

Yeah if I were going and going on a bus I would definitely choose the second route.

Earlier today I noticed someone was searching for Loterbol Tuverbol on the site. We had been planning a page to document the many commercially released beers that are blended with Belgian Lambic. I just created the initial page and now we'd like your help filling it in! Listed below is a link to a Google Spreadsheet where people can help these beers in. As beers are added, we will continue to update the Lambic.Info page. Please fill in as much information as possible and leave any pertinent notes. Cheers!

This is the first of many crowd research projects that we hope to do through this project. Together, we have a wealth of knowledge about lambic, and the hope is that we can pull it together and help continue to centralize this information.

That link redirects through facebook?

That link redirects through facebook?

Hm, probably because I copied the whole post from the FB group to here. I clearly cannot internet, but the link still goes to the .info page

Yeah, it wouldn't let me through. I had to copy from the page. No big deal tho

 

[SeaWatchman]

Maybe Gene can modfix that for me <3

Back in 2001 there must have been either a major overhaul in Cantillon labels in general for the US or a new labeling law that required reapproval, as there are 9 "new" labels approved for U.S. distribution during that year. It's interesting to see some of the naming conventions used like "Pure Apricot" for Fou'Foune and "Lou Pepe Pure Gueuze" in 2004 that didn't really make it into the vernacular over the long run. There are higher resolution scans that are more legible on the site to read through.

These are all available on the TTB website linked below if you search for keywords. We went through and pulled a lot of them and are getting around to uploading them, as they expire on the website after 15 years. If you search for any and click the "printable version" you get the entire application. Sometime around 2005 electronic applications came around and a lot of stuff is available as a PDF form. Kind of cool to see what's around. We found some neat stuff like the Monk's Cafe Cuvee de Monk's Kriek label that, to our knowledge, has never seen the light of day.

Wow, Fou Founne really was a shelf turd once. I swear I told some snot nosed **** that.

Get a ton of ass if I recall the story correctly.

It doesn't mean "ass"...

 

[Snarf1]

Does the common man's slang not reach the ivory tower?

No, I'm saying that if a guy has the nickname of "pre-pubescent girl's vagina", there might be a problem.

Only a problem when you rely on Google for translations.

I just realized what apricots look like. If drunk enough.

 

[SeaWatchman]

Guys, Fou'Foune is slang for pussy. There's really nothing more to it.

Yuuuup

I have a couple lambic and beer blends in the cellar. Dont know them all off the top of my head so ill have to look sometime and post here again. However, something I wanted to point out about the page you linked to: Birra del Borgo Duchessic was also packaged in 375mls. There have been multiple batches and im not 100% sure if Cantillon is even added anymore. The first bottling was dominated by lambic - no saison quality. However, recent batches make it seem like lambic might not even be added...but if it is, I think Cantillon was removed from the label. (I dont have a new label to post to confirm.) Also, one could completely negate everyhing ive posted here if that is just the nature of this beer and the lambic portion of the blend has not developed yet.

I updated w/ the bottle size, I'll keep looking around for more info on the content. I don't think I've ever actually had Duchessic.

 

[LukeAleTime]

It's pretty delicious - although concerned to hear the lambic in the recent batches isn't noticeable. It usually turds it up here so easy to get when it comes out.
