A pleasure to meet you. Will see you again in 2 years

Cheers to the guys who shared the Bokkeyryder magnums yesterday too, I know some of you are lurking here

Blame CheapBeerBuzz for at least part of that. Don't know the TB handles for the two gentlemen that spent the day helping Raf, but theLostWizard, BlackLambic, charliechu, kiki3drt292 and I enjoyed helping them take down the leftover magnums.

Enjoying a low key last evening in Brussels.. feel like I ticked almost all the TBers.

and any others I left out. Lambic was great, but hanging with y’all was the highlight of the trip!

Great meeting you too!

Also "hilarious" watching someone get gifted a bottle of moeder 10th and then having it show up on a razzle later that evening.

This week was both the best and worst of beer.

Most expensive bottle of salad dressing ever?

Also special shoutout to Compton25 for finding l’ermitage soleil (hoppy wheat beer) on the menu at moeder. Having (many) pours of that with/between lambics was ****ing perfect for cutting through/breaking up all the acid. Highly suggest it for anyone in Brussels, as long as we didn’t drink it all.

For context of how much soleil we drank, this is Mark with 2 (or 3?) glasses of it in front of him

 

[sunnrider]

That soleil was a star. Made a nice change after so much lambic.

Just want to s/o the Butter Anchovy gelato at the Magic Lambic station. I might be in the minority on who tried it, but I absolutely loved it. Went back for seconds for the Salty Almond, and was just as amazed too.

Not to mention those super tasty picked peppers he brought to L’ermitage... sunnrider was the real MVP.

 

[sunnrider]

ISO...

....the recipe?

ISO...

....the recipe?

More or less:
1 bottle of Kriek 750ml, 200g of fresh raspberries, 1 Madagascar vanilla bean, agar agar flakes (or powder) All organic, in keeping with the Bio/Organic Cantillon Kriek.

Heated up the beer, reduced a little, added the raspberries and vanilla bean (not the caviar). Blasted it in the Robot Coupe, strained it twice through fine mesh sieves, then reheated and added the agar. Set in small chocolate moulds and served on either Almond bizcocho bases (not vegan) or Speculoos cookies (vegan).

The final taste is more Kriek than anything else, even though I was inspired more by the taste of Zwanze 2016, just without blueberries...

Very fun to make and use.

kidding, of course - sounds delicious, thanks!

I'll update if I'm ever bold enough to try - I hope others do the same!
