Lambic! That's it! As soon as I read it I couldn't figure out why I
had forgotten it.

I live in Rochester, NY and I'll be heading over to Beers of the
World. As far as I know, it's the only place nearby with much of a
selection. I could probably do better in Buffalo or Syracuse, but I
don't have time for an extra hour each way, when I still have to get
ready for Christmas Eve dinner!

Thank you to everyone for your help. You're great!
