Just found this thread; wow Brian, that is an amazing tasting. I think people tend to make their own luck more often than you think; great work!
TN's: 2 days of Heaven: aged Lambics and Gueuzes (& an Orval) -- @ Akkurat Bar in Stockholm (w/pics)
That price is really too high. I agree, though, that there are worse ways to spend $26, but it’s hard to imagine all good gueuze would be that expensive in your market.
i’m more surprised that it isn’t in 375. There’s a lot of hanssens available in my area in that size. A 750 of a gueuze is a lot to drink
If you really like the stuff it isn’t! The amount of gueuze I can consume in any one sitting is bounded only by legal BAC limits and/or physiology.
all that aside, I will acknowledge that, for most folks, gueuze doesn’t go down as easily as water; it certainly can be a style of beer that is more demanding of the palate than many others.
The main reason I never buy any, way too much to drink myself.
brian, I love gueuzes, but 750s make it tough for me
From an abv side of things, a 750 of Gueuze is child’s play. From a tooth enamel perspective, it’s tough sledding…
^exactly. And I’m a guy who loves searingly acidic wines
I just stumbled onto this thread. Holy mother of funk, you hit the jackpot there Brian!

Haha. Wallet for sure. Some of those bad boys are 100 bucks a pop.
