Noice. I mean, I do occasionally drink Belgian ales/lambics. My favorite belgian style ale isn't even brewed in Belgium. So I'm a big phony.

danbanana posted:Finding lambic that isn't Boon, Lindemans, or Hanssens in the US is generally pretty hard. Hanssens is for some reason very rare over here. I've only ever seen the framboos and kriek I think, and I really want to try their gueueze as I hear they're among the most intensely funky and sour lambics.

So Tilquin sells out in the US on the reg? It hangs out here for years for the regular and in some cases, months for the others. Even 3F is starting to lose it's luster apparently. 2 weeks ago I was at a couple stores that had dozens of 3F gueuze and kriek in 375s and 750s, tilquin ancienne, quetsche, quetsche namur, and mure in both 375 and 750s just chillin out and very reasonable (<10 USD for 375s and <18USD for 750s). Naturally I bought like 5 of each. My local store is still working through the Tilquin 15-16 bottles with some 16-17 mixed in at $8 US a pop. The cuvee rene is basically free at $4.51 US a bottle. But we don't get boon where I am, US 6 packs are 20+ each, and the cheapest macro/AALs are around $48/24 pack. Fair trade I'd say.

They'll hang out on shelves for a bit and then be gone for a bit. 3F has started to become the "thinking man's Cantillon" so it moves pretty quick and Cantillon flies off the shelves because it's like the third "best ever" beer people learn after Pliny and Westy12 or some poo poo

Really wanted to join the BIF this year, but I have too many beers in the fridge and I'm pretty sure that I will get stabbed. Look forward to seeing the hauls and how much I missed out.

I wasn't looking, as I've had a tough month and don't have the cash to splash on y'all, but did any UK/Euro goons join in, so I know for future? Cause trying to ship booze safely to the states is awful.

OG tilquin is easily the best and someone buying the prunes de namur variant over that is a horrible person.

Never feel bad about what you enjoy and never feel intimidated by what you read online. Also stop giving a poo poo about beer ratings. Seriously. Be open to trying new beers and styles. Heck, you may find out your favorite drink is something odd and goofy like rye pilsners or dry Spanish ciders.

So funkybottoms sent me some of the Ardent/Off Color collab! And like 12 other loving beers that I didn’t ask for so gently caress him. My pregnant wife is not going to be happy when I drink 32 oz of a barrel aged doppelbock tomorrow.... Anyway, If You Please is loving great: light, yeasty, wonderful lemon and gin-spices integration. The easy comparison is Allagash House with some extra stuff going on. This is as good as any OC beer i've had and I've had almost all of them...

We've had real bad luck with international BiF shipping before, 100% failure rate - but setting up a specifically-UK/Euro one might be fun. You could call it a B(rexit)iF!

Seconding the deliciousness of the Ardent/Off Color collab. Dry and zesty, very surprisingly quenching and slammable for something with juniper and peppercorns. Pounded that crowler like it was nothing. The crowler of BA doppelbock looms threateningly over my Friday night.

mehall posted:Can maybe try and get a UK one sorted in the new year Id be up for that totally. Recently picked up these http://imgur.com/a/MG59XCJ From Yonder, I hadn't really heard of them before but excellent beers, really interesting honey and hay wild beer and a plum and thyme beer. Not tried the Dunstanes Exile yet which is a mix of wine and beer yeasts with grains of paradise, orange peel, juniper berries and lavender.
