    The previous "bottles at 3 fonteinen" thread was locked to make way for the yearly format of brewery threads.

    3 Fonteinen, also known as Drie Fonteinen, is a Lambic brewery in Beersel, just outside out Brussels. Please use this thread to discuss their beers and bottle availability at the brewery and to go.

    3 Fonteinen is a lambic brewery and blendery located in Beersel, and Lot Belgium. As of 2019, Armand Debelder is officially retired from the brewery and no longer holds a financial stake. 3 Fonteinen is currently headed by Werner Van Obberghen and Micahël Blanquaert, after a nearly 5 year transition. Previously Armand took over the brewing and blending operations of the business from his father Gaston. There is also a cafe attached to the original brewery in Beersel, which is overseen by Armand's brother Guido and nephew Thomas, though it is considered a completely separate entity. In addition to lambics, 3 Fonteinen also produces several other non-lambic beers including a blonde, lager, and porter.     (Source: lambic.info)

    Blauwe Brombes has been available a while now. 1pp. About 200 left in the shop (a guesstimate) as of Saturday 4th. It’s a great beer.

    A great day to visit 3F. They have a large supply of Hommage, Hommage bio frambozen, Framboos and Kriek matured
    In oak foeders (my favorite style of the fruit lambics) and winter pack 2, in addition to their normal offerings. 3F is taking all my money today.

    I just grabbed 750s of Hommage (17/18), Golden Blend (16/17), and A&G (17/18) for $25, $25, and $16, respectively... in Bend, Oregon. :sunglasses:

    Yeah, this was at a high end local grocery store where they've been sitting on shelves for over a year. I think they decided to cut their losses and sell at wholesale price. Their loss, my gain.

    Sorry, I was too excited to look in detail. My bottle is no. 50, 17|18.

    They only had about 6 out when I arrived this morning, but restocked to maybe 24-30 on the shelf?

    Just out of curiosity, how does Zenne b3-6 match up to b2 and b1? I recently had 1 and 2 and loved both. I expected them to be more similar, but was blown away by how unique each was. Do the newer batches match up to the original two?

    There was a box that included a Zenne bottle (batch 5, blend 49) available from the online shop earlier today - unsurprisingly, they didn't last very long. The email I got announcing the sale mentioned that there will also be some available for in-person purchase starting on Friday.

    While that (and a berry box) are gone, the three boxes released at some point last month are still available online.
