🐋 Whale hunters: this release is for you. Best Damn Beer Shop in San Diego currently ships 10 varieties of Drie Fonteinen bottles. Drie Fonteinen is our favorite sour beer maker on Earth. We’ve been to Brussels, tried every Lambic maker (including Cantillon) and Drie Fonteinen continues to stand out as the most complex and balanced Lambic maker. Many of these beers are not available anywhere else in the US right now, but you can order them from the comfort of your phone and have them shipped right to your front door. Disclosure: this beer is expensive. It’s reserved for the most special occasions when you want to enjoy some of the finest beers available on the planet. This beer will wow any friend you have who identifies as a wine snob and ‘doesn’t like beer.’ It will dance on your palate and overwhelm you with flavor and complexity. Flowery language over.

Suggested Bottles

These are the bottles we’re planning to order ourselves:

• Prium Belle De Louvain: made using ancient Belle De Louvain plums.

• Druif Musca Bleu: From Drie Fonteinen: “Muscat Bleu grapes from Wijndomein Hoenshof in Hoepertingen, Haspengouw region, Flanders. Muscat Bleu is a hybrid wine and table grape and has its origins in Switzerland. We macerated the grape must with four different lambics from two different barrels. We let it macerate for five months and blended the grape lambic with another three young lambics prior to bottling. The final fruit intensity is 38.1% of grape must per litre of Druif Muscat Bleu.”

• Intens Rood: this is a special version of their Kriek also using cherries.

💰 Details

These beers are all some of the most expensive you can find, comparable to the price of a solid bottle of Champagne, but they’re well worth it in our humble opinion. You only live once.
