Casual Lambic Thread

[Dave]

Nothing casual about opening a grape lambic with accompanying wine that have your initials on them, but we don't have fancy lambic thread.

Just a spectacular combo. Loved the lack of acidity.

2 more fun teasers:

Three bottles from last night:
- Zenne B1 has aged well. The sherry is still present, but fading. Glad to revisit this one after a long time.
- l’Esperance is something special. Cantillon aged in cognac barrels is a match made in heaven.
- 10 year old Tilquin still opens with a bang. Label on the neck stating contents under pressure still accurate. Delicious.

Back to Arlon for me this year, first time in their new spot barely a mile from the Luxembourg border. As close as we’ll get to having a Zwanze here I guess

Tastes like concentrated lambic. Nothing super unique, just more.

Casual Bottleworks shelfie. If I had it blind would guess only a few years old, feels like it has another decade easy.

BXL Fest is trying to clear their remaining €30k Covid debts that they didn’t cover from the profits from last year’s fest (which broke even but not much more). Crowdfunding with festival glasses, t-shirts, bottles of BXL Bruocsella Brut and a lambic tasting:

2022 vintage. Curry heavy on the nose and first taste. Curry fades a bit as it opens up and the Vin Jaune barrels start to shine.

This beer still fucking bangs. One of my all-time favorite beers regardless of style. Still damn near perfect.

3/22/2013 bottle date. Got that label on its neck, no ragrets, letting you know shits high pressure. Tastes like lemon heads and green apple jolly ranchers got real high and went on a side quest to fuck an oak tree. and maaaaaaan… things got funky. 10/10, wish I had more. Really fuckin’ good.

2013 GD.

Landed in BRU, quick stop at the hotel and off for a casual stop at the brewery. I enjoyed them all, but trying Old Fashioned for the first time was a treat. Amazing nose of orange peel. Subtle orange on the palate with a whisper of whiskey. May need to revisit . . . tomorrow.

Casual 6am Guezemosa to start off Zwanze day.

Zwanze Day is fucking great
