    Just received a peach upland lambic yesterday and I was told it was an 08 but I have no clue on how to determine if that's correct or not. It's not cork & caged but it's capped like a cantillon. Anyone care to inform me on this issue? Thanks! Also what's the best way to stay in the loop on upland lotteries? I've missed so many! Cheers from va!

    On newer vintages dating back to at least 2010, the dates including barreling date and bottling date / batch info is on the lower right hand side of the label when you look at it.

    If there is no info, it may very well be an earlier vintage and 2008 as you think it is. Especially early vintage if it's capped and corked (vs. cage and corked).
