I'll admit to not having any Lambic beers - yet! Currently I'm on something of an Abbey Ale quest, so maybe this will be next. I'll refer back when the time is right!

Now you have to climb aboard a Brussels-bound plane and pay a visit to the Van Roys at Cantillon. There is simply no other labmic experience that compares. You might also be interested in the lambic story I wrote for Saveur magazine a few years back. They've just recently posted it online here: http://saveur.com/article/Drink/A-Beer-Called-Lambic And lastly, also timely, try a gueuze with your Thanksgiving turkey this year. It's a remarkable food and beer combination. Oh, and Dr. Beer Love, thanks for introducing me to the concept of pie noon. I shall never utter the word midnight again!

Oh, and Dr. Beer Love, thanks for introducing me to the concept of pie noon. I shall never utter the word midnight again!

I am sad to say I didn't have my first lambic until this year, but both dad and I absolutely loved it. We're always on lambic alert every time we go to a beer store now. It's hard not to love something that you know so much hard work went into. Lambics are also a great pairing with pie noon (midnight, the perfect time for a slice of pie)! Ashes – great story!

I used to go cliff jumping a lot during the summer in high school (upstate NY - Catskill region). One time, my type-A personality led to a need to "one-up" all my friends and leap off what I was told was an 80ft cliff (however, kids tend to exaggerate in high school so it might have been shorter). I hit the water at an angle, which forced both my contacts out of my eyes ... knocked the wind out of me ... and temporarily paralyzed my body. This was really scary for me because I could not breathe or swim ... so essentially I was gonna drown. Luckily, some people that we were not with at the time jumped in from the opposite side and pulled me out of the water. In the subsequent days, the whole right side of my body was purple (I am talking about a body sized bruised) and my ribs were also bruised. I could barely walk for 3 days. ANYWAYS. There is your story! CHEERS! Damon -

Loved the sour taste, but unfortunately it's not available anywhere in CT at the moment as far as I know. Great article.

The sugar they add gets fermented in the bottle. If you drink a young bottle, it's very sweet. An old bottle is a lot dryer and has more wild yeast and bacteria flavours. Too old and the bottle blows up. I look forward to hearing a great story about how you jumped of an 80' cliff, survived an exploding beer, and still got drunk afterwards. Faro is great if you want to live dangerously (and by dangerous I don't mean life-threatening). Faro is fun. The sugar they add gets fermented in the bottle.

Wonder if they sell it here in Colorado. I'm a big sucker for sour ales these days and that might hit the spot. Recently had an Oud Beersel Kriek Ale from Belgium - mmmmm good stuff.
