The story? Basically...

I'm teaching a class designed to help you pass the Certified Cicerone Exam. Part of this is tasting every style in the BJCP guide. I've come up short 3 times (60 Shilling, 70 Shilling, Roggenbier) and would rather not shit the bed on Un-blended Lambic.

So if somebody can get me one 750mL bottle of god damn un-blended lambic, I'll trade at least 400% bottle value. Dead serious.

Go to Buffalo - Hit Premier, Consumers, Village Beer Merchant - one of them will surely have an unblended Lambic

Nope.

Cantillon Iris & Bruocsella were the only unblended lambics that were ever on the shelves down here & they haven't been around for years.

Unblended Lambic may in fact be a seperate style from Gueze in terms of BJCP guidelines, but I highly doubt anyone tasting blindly could tell the difference between the two. And that is if we are talking about bottled carbonated versions, which are rare.

Most unblended lambic is served uncarbonated in cafes, or you show up at a brewery with a jug and they fill it up for you.

At least this is how I teach such things...
