    Yes, definitely. The Black Label is one of the best around.

    Only one way to determine such a thing.

    I was at the Colfax Cheeky Monk last night and while it's still on the menu, they assured me that they haven't had any in a while...so it's probably not worth a trip if you're specifically looking for Cantillon or gueuze in general.

    Sorry guys I got the information off their website I forgot they haven't updated it. I did share in getting all three prior to the public release but kinda thought they would offer non exclusive beers again (limited#) this year for out of state members and people not directly in Denver. I have no problem getting them from the source, and have, but if you live farther away you have to have your trustee buy them or make a lot of Tuesday night road trips!!:slight_smile:

    Just to confuse things, I was told that 12 percent is the distributor for Crooked Stave in NYC.

    I am somewhat in the opposite camp, since I trustee for multiple people. After they allowed everyone to buy the regulars (Hop Savant, St. Bretta, Surette, etc....), it turned into everyone buying obscene amounts of bottles, causing me to have to pick-up, pack, and ship WAY too many bottles last year.

    Hmmmm..... Interesting. The stores around here refer to Shelton as the distributor but what you said makes more sense. In any case, for some reason since Shelton is out of the picture we get no Cantillion in MN

    I did. I bought some bottles after trying it on tap. Nice citrus (grapefruit and orange) with a tart finish. Liked it a lot more then the St Bretta (Spring, Summer and Fall).
