Cantillon Blabaer Label

I have a 2012 375 ml that was brought directly to me from olbuttiken by an academic advisor. I know it is 100% real and it looks like yours Kaydogg.

 

I brought back some Cantillon from... Cantillon, that had a similarly chewed up cork. Nothing, in and of itself, to be terribly concerned about, I don't think.

 

Those stickers are on every single bottle I've seen/bought the last two weeks in Denmark, I believe it's some kind of recycling/deposit type deal. I have 30+ bottles in my suitcase that all have them and the Blabaer I bought at olbuttiken last week has it too. I can take/post pictures when I get back home if you'd like.

 

If I can touch them, their real enough for me.

 

This. O-lineman think alike.

 

This. All beer bottles sold in Denmark have that sticker (or the same mark incorporated in the label itself). You pay 1 DKK deposit for every bottle of beer you buy and you can later on get this back if you return the empty bottles.

 

I just read through that. I dont really believe it though

 

I've traded with Alen and know he's been around long enough to believe. It's definitely possible.

 

His "proof" isnt convincing at all. And why wouldnt you open a bottle immediately if you thought it was fake? Instead it goes back into storage. Okay?????

 

Yeah, sounds like a shitty time. But I'm sure Blabaer is one of the lesser valued beers in Alen's collection.

 

Yeah no shit, I mean he just tossed it in the fridge without looking at it.

 

i'd much rather have fake boobs.. the mouth feel is much better than fake Blabaer.

 

The Pant A sticker appears in all danish bottles, means it is officially checked when imported and they receive this sticker and that it is also now eligible for an empty bottle return to the recycling centers. Since it is brewed in Belgium when it entered Danish ground it was checked and the importer receives these stickers and has to apply them on the bottles (if an inspection occurs and they don't have the label on it, the importer gets a nice hefty fine) .

I forwarded this thread to Jeppe in case he has something to say about the bottles (both look fine in my opinion and I have had both 2007 and 2012 directly purchased from Olbutikken)

 

No worries; I picked mine up from Olbutikken (the source) and they look exactly like the photos you've posted. Yours are legit.

 

Looking quite porterlike to me.

 

Definitely a dopplebock

 

Then I've got some red-looking porter.

 

If someone was really crafty, they could buy the labels direct?
