This guy is traveling from Kentucky to Belgium on your dime, where he will learn the secrets of lambik-making. He will then start his own brewery in Kentucky, specializing in lembiek.

You can get in on the ground floor by reserving two bottles of l'ambique for only $150.

I'm going to **** myself if I keep laughing. BA did this 10 years ago.

He should have to put a dollar in the ****** bag jar everytime someone looks at that page.

Since the time you posted this link he's already got two backers. Which of you is already excited for your Turtle Ridge beers?

Also, my favorite part of the write-up: Lambic brewers use "techniques as old as the hills." This guy's a trip.

Well, looks like dontdrinkbeer was wrong.

You Are Not a Brewer, You Are a Panhandler with a Kickstarter Account.

One thing about beer nerds though, they have excellently calibrated ******** detectors. You may beguile them into paying $250.00 for a Reserve Society that promises 2 glasses and a plaque, but even the sloppiest mantits will not pony up money FOR BEER THAT DOESN’T EVEN ****ING EXIST.

Apparently two idiots will.

Probably his Mom and Dad.

Between this and that DDB article I am getting no work done this afternoon, too busy laughing and making fun of **** on various sites and Facebook.

Forget funding, I'm starting up one of these myself!

Just noticed this little tidbit: "This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its goal.
Funding deadline: January 31, 2014 (11:59pm UTC)."

willseph's idea sounds pretty damn good.

Joel66 should use this as an attempt to raise the funds for a bottle of Mozart for that tasting that's apparently going to be covered in a magazine.

I have already arranged many visits and events with brewers, blenders, appreciators, and bar owners... Many of which I am the first American to attend such events.

Guy's name is Tyler Mains. I don't know if he's over here, but he was on BA (tylermains).

I once had Jean-Pierre van Roy pour me some faro from a plastic jug. GIT ME TO A KICKSTARTR!!11 IM STARTING A BROORY!

"I have made a similar journey to the Northeast United States, an area I consider to be very important to the world of spontaneous beer. I know many people, and I fully intend to meet many more."

While we're on the subject, I'm planning a similar journey to Oregon from Jan. 30-Feb. 2nd. During this journey, I intend to visit degardebrewing in Tillamook, an area I consider to be very important to the world of spontaneous beer. I know many people, and I fully intend to meet at least a couple more. $30 funds my ZipCar, and I'm guessing another $30 should cover our gas. Here's a mockup of the beer I intend to never produce:

To be fair, I'm reading that as you get 2 bottles of his own blended lambic that he's going to blend next summer while in Belgium (I'm assuming from the typical lambic producers), not "lambic" that he's going to brew back in Kentucky.

Still ridiculous? Yes.

 

[JulianB1]

He knows people, and intends to meet more! This is clearly a trait that sets him apart from approximately 0% of the population.

Hahaha. Yes. I remember him indeed. He had the Edmund Fitzgerald avatar. Even more remarkable than me remembering his avatar is me remembering some of the ******* **** he said over there.

Good on him. I hope he gets to go to Belgium. Maybe he'll run into the Alstroms over there. Like in a car accident.

I just lol'd so hard at my desk when my boss was talking to me. Totally worth it.

Scroll down the website to see the beer names. They are equally silly/childish.

I usually try not to make fun of stuff like this, but oh dear lord he has already started with the esoteric, vaguely philosophical beer titles for his not yet existent beers.

[MULDER1010]

what???? He does not have Australia on his list??? Better beaches, night life, the shopping, the street food, safe pubs in the CBD and two lambic producers in Australia. He needs to visit Red Oak in the Sydney CBD and 2 meter tall in Tasmania. Most of all it is fracking summer here.

I will contribute $30 in high-fives to your endeavor. I'm sure those are easily converted into Zip Fuel.

We also promise to give you zero worthwhile information and possibly be intoxicated upon your arrival.

As someone who has visited De Garde, I can say the the first part of this statement is definitely false and the second part of it is very likely true.

I would like a $30 refund please.

 

[1v1willwreku]

I brew the beer you don't drink.
But not today.

Edit: probably not tomorrow either.

I just want you to know. I drank your beer.

Here's $30 in low-fives through the computer screen:

 

[Beerontwowheels]

This was the guy trying to clone BCBS or Black Tuesday in the homebrew section of BA. Never really interacted with this guy, but FFS, fund your own goddamn vacation. I can only imagine that when he returns he will ask that we fund his upcoming brewery as well.

I should have kickstarter'd my wedding. 'A 7"x10", hand-signed, black and white photo of my bride and I - free to anyone who contributes 150$ to our everlasting love!'

 

[degardebrewing]

I just want you to know. I drank your beer.

Since I'm assuming I'm Daniel Day Lewis in this video analogy, I'm so very sorry for you.
Also, thank you 1v1 and the Academy.

Edit: good movie though preacher.

I count five. But you'll need to make up the difference in locals since they're low-fives.
Do what's right man.

How about I make up some of the $4$ difference with a self-high-five?

He appears to have grown some hops, trillium, and a canoe on his 'farm'.

Canoe farming, like lambic, is as old as the hills.
