If you are at GBBF I will certainly bring one for you I am trying to decide whether or not to pack any beers to bring as it can be a pain in the ass as you might know. If I do, please let me know if there is something here I might be able to get you.

Message Travlr P beers 33916 º places 4606 º 09:54 Fri 7/24/2015 Hi. Are we still panicking, or has this problem been solved? I just want to know if I need to build panic into my weekend schedule. I’m thinking Saturday afternoon from 2 to 2:15.
Message ALLOVATE P beers 3849 º places 111 º 09:58 Fri 7/24/2015 Originally posted by Gary Orval is a variable beer and I have championed it for years as world class on these forums but I am sorry to say every bottle I age these days is either just decent , mediocre or straight up soulless garbage . Its sad but true . Things have changed since they got a new brewmaster . PS. thanks for destroying my favourite beer. More story to this? When, and when? What the, and then what is going on? In Oz, Orval has been absent for two years and the vintage we have is 2012. Love to know what is happening!!

A new brewmaster called Anne took over @ Orval sometime recently and Orval has not been as complex since .

Message SamGamgee P beers 2452 º places 182 º 10:22 Fri 7/24/2015 The former Orval brewmaster just brewed a collaboration with Duvel for the new expanded De Koninck line. Called Wild Jo I think. Heard it was supposed to be a paler Orval. Bottled with Brett.
Message SamGamgee P beers 2452 º places 182 º 10:27 Fri 7/24/2015 Ok, so Wild Jo isn’t getting the best reviews but it was categorized in Wild/sour so I changed it to Belgian Ale to match where we put Orval. Seems like people were bitching that it wasn’t sour which it isn’t supposed to be...
