    I think the old Sour/Wild Ale thread is locked (or my search skills suck).

    Drie Fonteinen bottles hit Beer Temple earlier this week, and are now hitting Binny's across Chicago.

    New distributor carrying them, apparently.

    All Binny's? I didn't see it at Glen Ellyn nor Downers earlier today.

    I think it's going to be slowly rolling out this week. I called my local spot & they didn't know what day it was coming, just that it would be this week.

    a) No, I did not know that
    b) I don't know what "vav" is
    c) It says Do Right Distribution, not "vav" on your link?
    d) I fully admit that I'm probably just dense here.

    He’s the guy that’s always talking about how if he wanted to get into the business, he’d start a distribution company. Good to see him practice what he preached :grin:

    Grabbed a smaller bottle of the Kriek as well as the cuvée at The Beer Cellar. I only have limited Cantillon experience so I’m excited to try more lambics

    Madison got a drop of a couple Armand blends a few weeks ago, that was pretty exciting. I for one welcome our new Vav boutique distribution etc etc

    Me too. At Moreno’s Hommage is sold out (very limited bottles received) but these three are available at 375 ml, $1 more than the quoted prices above, and there are larger sized bottles as well.

    Yea, it seems like Hommage was the most limited by far.
