Tough call this weekend - Bier & Big (Eindhoven) or Moeder Lambic (Brussels)

[METSBWD]

Very tough call to make for this weekend's beer festivities:

On the local front is the Bier & Big Festival in Eindhoven from 2-10 with a nice selection of breweries, and a "promise" of free tokens for my birthday...

BUT

In Brussels starting at 4 is the Moeder Lambic Original 10th Anniversary ! Act #2 Tilquin, with an awesome looking Pinot Noir Tilquin.

Is anyone else going to either event? Anyone know if the Pinot Noir Tilquin will be available elsewhere, or just as a one-off for the event?

Wish I was.... have fun either way!

I'll be at Bier & Big. Pretty happy to try de Moersleutel and spend the rest of my tokens on Tommie sjef

Well, I'll be in Brussels with a pretty packed schedule (that lambic won't drink itself!) so I'm sticking with the Moeder anniversary part 2, thanks very much! Also, Tilquin Pinot Noir.

How was the new stuff?

Brussels because that is a horribly stupid name for a festival, no other reason.

How was the new stuff?

Opal was promising. Bottled a day prior so pretty much flat but already very good.
Vlier-Braam was nice. Didn't get much elderflower from it but still good.
Not the biggest fan of cuvee, although that's an older one of course.

That's because it has elderberries rather than elderflowers . He didn't bring any "/" samples? Really curious about that one. Glad to hear the new stuff was good.

Nope. At least he didn't open any.
And elderberries makes sense now

I agree on the Opal. It was by far my favorite of the four. The Framboos wasn't new, but I did kinda like it a tad more than the Braam.

Well then, Opal and Braam are up on the store now! Looking forward to trying them soon. I've had Druiven and Framboos before and they were both excellent.
