You're not the only one. All references are being removed. They want the only source of information about beer to be them (well, that or they know that SeaWatchman is involved).

But it's not all of the references that get deleted though because we are still on there in a couple places. But yeah... annoying. ASak10, do they give you a reason when the post is deleted?

Hey did you guys receive my submission on the date code for 07 Schaerbeekse Kriek? Not sure if I flubbed it since that's the first time submitting

Haven't checked the submission form for a few days. Will do that.

In the meantime, I just made an interesting update to the Moeder Lambic page.

No info on why it was deleted. Then I made a post that was along the lines of why are you deleting information that is actually useful to the inquiry? Nothing malicious, nothing bad, stayed calm...then this email:

ASak10,

Warning: Trolling Moderation and/or Mods

Your content (Framboos) was reported, and may have been removed or altered as a result.

Additionally, you've been put into a 24 hour timeout / ban. Take the time to reflect on your actions and future on BeerAdvocate.

Thanks for your cooperation.

-- BeerAdvocate

This is an automated message. Warning issued by: F2brewers.

Protip: After your timeout ... Read our Terms of Service, which you agreed to before joining.

So when it was deleted...no reason. When I asked why it was deleted, ban for trolling. A few people agreed with me, so wonder if they got any warnings (pmoney was one, don't recall the others).

So funny that they think they're so ******* smart and think they can talk down to people...saying Protip, telling you to "reflect," it's like I'm listening to myself talking to me 4 year old. I would have been done there long ago after finding this place, but I actually like the local group of Colorado folks I met on there and we have a good PM going about bottle shares, releases, etc.

Seriously though, **** that place. If any of them are reading this, and I know they read over here, get over yourselves and grow the **** up.

I'm sure they did just as much research and are putting just as much time and energy into their efforts as you guys are

I just got an alert saying that my post was deleted because of "off topic and responses". No ban or time out.

All I said was I'm not sure why mods would delete information citing lambic.info when it was a link to the Framboos page in a thread titled "Framboos" in response to someone asking about older vintages of Framboos.

Let me know if you get a good image of that label so I can upload it to Untappd. Right now the entry just has the old one.

Can do! We still need the labels for the olde vintages as well.

I've just been using this one: http://i.imgur.com/iYyOPqi.jpg

If it's changed over the years I haven't noticed.

The only thing that changes is the brewers/blenders listed at the bottom. That's either 09 or 11 since Tilquin wasn't in the blend until the 2013 edition.

That's what I figured would change. I have all the vintages so I could check, but I don't really care so much about being pedantic on Untappd since you can't read the damn text anyway. My Iris image says "2007" at the bottom, IIRC, and I just don't care enough to update it for everything.

 

[Odesseiron]

They're not very good anyways, so whatever

I dont agree with that. I have never had the 2009 vintage but I had 2011 and 2013. The last bottle of 2011 I had was about 2 months ago and it was showing something really interesting. I had a discussion with a friend and we both agreed that thoses blends needs more time than usual because of all the different lambics they have. I am pretty sure 2013 will be very good in about 3-4 years.

They're not. very. good.

Stop talking about them.

Now.

Missing bottle date for regular Tilquin. (Found 4 bottles on the shelf tonight. ). 375 ml



Sorry, the submission form on lambic.info seemed like more effort than I have to offer this evening.

 

[BusinessSloth]

Damn that '15 HORAL label is sexyyyyyy. Hot mama. I'm opening the HORAL vertical next Friday at my birthday tasting. Will report back on each vintage. Wish 2015 would be available in time...

Might get better with age, sure. 09's definitely the best. But right now they're too muddled and lacking a good direction. Had all three together around Christmas and was massively disappointed.

 

[Pneill3161]

I kinda felt the same as Odesseiron when I had the '13. It felt like everyone came to the party with the same lambic. Which might even be true as tilquin & de cam get there lambic from the others. I would think it be tough to put together a master blend without knowing the type of lambics others are bringing, but maybe they talk before. That being said I got an 09 coming and will be trying for science.

Does anyone have a high resolution image of the Cantillon logo? Looking to make a stencil for a project that came to mind today. Looking for something like this but larger so that the resolution in better when I create ~ 8" x 8" stencil.

I don't, but that reminds me of something I heard last time I was in Belgium. Supposedly the logo is JPVR, and it used to have a full head of hair until he went bald, then the logo was adjusted. Is there any truth whatsoever to that? Sounded ridiculous to me at the time, but crazier things are true...

PM me your email, I have a good .eps file of one in black.

Doubt that, but it's on my list of things to ask the powers that be when I get a chance.

Ya, sorry. I renewed the name and cert, but haven't gotten around to regenerating it yet. It's been a busy week at work.

Of course, this means that we've been working on this project under the lambic.info name for a year now!

 

[SeaWatchman]

markgugs, thanks for updating the bottle log with Classic Gueuze, Gambrinus, and Iris! Putting them into the site now! Dat super fresh Iris.

 

[mjohnson171]

SealWatchman where is that bottle log sheet? I noticed on Lambic.info that only 375mls are listed for the 3/19/2013 Iris bottling, but I have 750s too.
