Nicely written post on Lambic beers. 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!

So…scratch my last comment…today, I ventured to a beer store a bit farther than the one I regularly go to…and I found a gueuze lambic!!

So you’re out of the closet as a lambicophile – welcome to the club! 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!

Ashes – great story!

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)!

Damon -

Unfortunately, my story does not involve getting drunk afterwards … hehe. 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!

I’ve had a lot of the common fruit lambics before but I tried my first gueuze lambic a few months ago at a beer tasting and I was a big fan. Loved the sour taste, but unfortunately it’s not available anywhere in CT at the moment as far as I know.

Great article.
