Hi All, My beer tastes are expanding pretty heavily into Belgian territory, and I'd like some advice on lambics that I should try that: a) are at least somewhat readily available in the US (east coast, preferrably) b) won't destroy my meager bank account I've got a few gueuze's (Hanssen's oude gueze, Cuvee Rene, Gueuze Tilquin à l’ancienne) sitting in my cellar at the moment, and although I definitely would like to try more, I'm primarily looking for recommendations for non-blended lambics here. To be honest, until a few months ago I didn't even realize that lambics were typically sour, since most of the lambics I see on a regular basis are from Lindeman's. If y'all can recommend some examples that I would likely be able to acquire from a local bottleshop, I would be most appreciative!
You can take a look at this list and see what is available to you in your local stores at your price range. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/style/50/
I see Vanberg & DeWulf's Lambickx in my area but due to price I've never pulled the trigger on a bottle.
It's pricey, but it's real and authentic. It's like you can buy an American sour, or you can enjoy the real thing...The real thing is not faux soured, it's truly wild.
Not easy to get but if you ever stumble across Alexander from Rodenbach its incredible. One of the best beers I've ever had regardless of style.
Oud Beersel is fairly easy to get as well . Timmermans , too, but I would stick with the Oude Gueuze. They're pretty much all worth picking up, especially if you're exploring the style . I only ever seem to be disappointed in the backsweetened fruited lambics .
