    It's about time that a thread for this year's event be created! I have a ticket for the 11:30am slot. Who else is going? What's your time? I am going alone (although friends will be arriving at other times). I will be there the night before - would be cool to set up a share or meet up to split bottles!

    11AM timeslot here, also arriving the day before. Would definitely be down to meet up/share some bottles. Also will be my first time in Belgium and Europe in general so any tips/recommendations for a first-timer would be greatly appreciated (bars, restaurants, bottle shops, etc).

    Super excited!

    Magic lambic is a raspberry, blueberry and vanilla lambic. Like Zwanze 16 but flat. It was in my opinion one of the best of the day. Reine de pres was a great suprise since ive seen very different opinions about it. Nuit Bruxelloise and LPF on 2 different wine barrels was also amazing.

    Kurt told us to expect atleast two weeks before we heard from him due to the amount of bottles he’d received.

    Nothing here for me. I actually sent Kurt an email on a non-Quintessence beer matter 10 days ago and still haven't heard anything back.

    Maybe he is taking all the beer given to him and disappearing... selling it little by little as a retirement plan. Haha.

    But seriously, with how much beer I saw him hauling, no surprise that he is so backed up.
