I haven't made a batch in 3 years now. I think it's time to pass all of my equipment on to some young bright eyed local kid who will do more with it than me just sitting in storage. I do miss brewing but I honestly just don't drink enough to justify it these days. I drink maybe 2-3 beers a week.

At mine, we have offerings from the latter three. I annually jockey with one or two other spots to get the only keg of Cantillon for the state. Westvleteren, as I'm sure you know, is simply not gettable. The only time those bottles made it to the United States in an official capacity is when the monks needed a new roof a few years back. Some of the best beer I've ever had.At the moment I have lambic/oude geuze from 6 different producers. 3 Fonteinen is the easiest to get for me because they opened a webshop last year and they produce a lot. But what they create is of a very high standard in my opinion.
