Geez, what has it been now, seven years? The time, how it does
fly...

I've already put aside a decent collection of sour beers, including
several lambics, but if I were to stumble on a '99 Selection Lambic in
upcoming travels, sure, yeah, maybe. My current Beery Grails are
bottles of Soleil de Minuit and Goldackerl, both from Cantillon, and
I wouldn't turn down a bottle of Druivenlambic from 3 Fonteinen. 3F's
Hommage, Doesjel, and Schaerbekse Kriek are all good, as is Cantillon's
Cuvee des Champions. With all that, the '99 Selection Lambic sort of
fades into the background.
