There’s probably one back home in my cellar that you can have if you’re ever in southeast Wisconsin lol.
Whoa! Bout time! No, that’s brand new info. The 3F collab release was announced for one of the events late last year I believe (either brewery bday or Cellarversary) but was later quietly scrubbed from the week’s schedule on the Blog. The scuttlebutt I’d heard was: they had to delay the release because they were waiting on some kind of red tape with the label’s approval in Belgium (apparently that’s a thing there?) and they wanted to be able to release it both stateside and overseas with the same label. No idea if that’s actually what happened, though.
3F is collaborating with De Garde on their spring event, and they’re obviously not part of any Zwanze celebration. I guess the Collab is Side Project/stateside-only
surprise vintage sale if you're into old sours: - Oude du Ble '16 - $50 - Tete de Cuvee '15 - $65 - Pulling Nails B5 - $65 edited to add pricetags
I've been looking for an excuse to do a Tete vertical. Snagging a backup of 2015 might be a sign to do it...
Dang if it was pn4 I’d be all over that, it was awesome! also the shop is looking like fire right now, expensive yes but lots of bangers
No, 3F‘s spring event, where they’ve partnered with de Garde and Hill Farmstead before. https://www.3fonteinen.be/events/twisting-the-fate-VII Sorry for the confusion…
So I am seriously considering joining LC this year. Can someone help me understand: This past year LC got four beers, For LC and the three La Coterie 2025 variations. This coming year, will there be La Coterie 2026 variations, + a Derivation and For LC, or just a Derivation? Thanks.
4ish Saisons/sours were included and you got to buy For LC. The LC derivation will be the first malty inclusion in at least the last few years. Tbh seems like they make it up as they go year to year, but id assume every other inlcuded beer for 2026 will be a sour.
Also access to non bundled stouts and barleywine. I think we got 3 collabs, 2 derivations, 12 year bw, the vanilla line, BBT and for LC as beers that we could buy. I'm probably missing a few here
I think you're conflating this a little. For LC wasn't an included beer - it may well end up being exclusive to LC, but we still had to pay for it on top of the membership. Beers that were included in the membership last year were 5 saisons, the 3 La Coterie Saisons you mention, as well as CdC Blende 13, and Single Thread 2025. No stouts. There's no telling what the included beers will be this year outside of D22 which has already been announced. I suspect it'll be more of the LC saisons given the numbering last year, but it's truly anyone's guess. Only CK knows the answer to that.
I think exclusive to LC last year was only With Knox, Silent Barrel 1188, D21 (which was anniversary week and later offered to LC online), DB Anabasis and For LC. If records are correct. I'm sure I'm off somewhere. Were a few other bottles that were offered in limited offers to LC after public releases like 12 Candles and (i think) Shin Shin and D20.
