It has an official looking label with the mandatory US goverment alcohol warning on it. It also lists the states with bottle deposits. No official Trappist triangle though. It says "imported by D&V Int'l Palm Beach Gardens, FL" on the label. -- Tim |

Doesn't happen in Europe, to the best of my knowledge. -- Regards Mike mikedotroebuckatgmxdotnet |

The U.S. requires that alcoholic beverages have labels (caps won't do) and that the labels include certain info. Name of brewery and beer, of course. Exact volume. Importer. Legal/health warnings. State bottle return values. Other info is optional, some is prohibited. -Steve |

In the last few days, I've had some excellent lambic experiences, including my first taste of Cantillon St Lamvinus (superb!). A bottle of De Cam Gueuze is now part of my beer cellar, too. And the Mort Subite cafe in Brussels now has the excellent Mort Subite 'Caveau' Gueuze - unexpectedly fantastic, really worthwhile. And of course, the draught lambic at Drie Fonteinen in Beersel - three of us shared a one-liter pitcher. Wonderful! -- Nobody You Know |
