Armand & Tommy Questions

from what I understand, they can cellar for decades. i believe all beer should be aged upright.

See: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/101/store

 

No one knows which side beer should be aged on, most likely because it doesn't make a damn difference. Do whatever's easiest with your bottles.

 

Oh shit Stu. You're fucked. All those gueuze and lambic bottles you have lying horizontal in your cellar might as well be used for cooking pasta now.

 

Some prefer to age lambic on their side to prevent the cork from drying out (This is how bottles are stored at Cantillon). Good enough for Jean, good enough for me.

 

pls share

 

?

Yeah I know, so fucked! Just like Cantillon and 3F and De Heeren and Grote Dorst and Kulminator and Moeder and...

 

When this occurs, BM for a trade. I'd love a couple bottles.

 

For what its worth, I was once told by a good source that laying the bottles on their side gives the sediment more surface area to continue working with the beer so if you're aging long term that is the best way.

 

We need to have a muling service out of major connecting areas (Seattle, Detroit, NY State, Vermont). US trader sends to that person, that person drives the bottles across the border, meets the CA trader, returns with beer, ships to US trader. Or, it could be worked with the CA trader doing the shipping.

 

Talk to tbadiuk, we've traded a couple times and his boxes always come through great.

 

I've traded to/from Canada before. FedEx and the proper way to fill out forms is all you need.
