Cantillion in Toronto, ON, Canada, Help.

Sorry, you were misinformed.
There are a couple available at one place I know of for sure, but they are to be consumed on site. No take outs. Sorry.

 

Calgary's only a three day drive from Toronto, side trip?

 

Don't they sell it in any Canadian gas station?

 

Maybe start by spelling the name properly before dropping in with the "I come to loot your precious" attitude?

 

Who told you that? Misinformed.

 

Is there anything besides Iris left around here?

 

There are lots of avenues to get some.
Belgiuminabox, or Etre Gourmet (or something like that).

Sure its pricey to ship, but a lot cheaper than a trip to Toronto (assuming you would be staying downtown). Unless you were already going there.

 

A few more hours west and you will still find Gueuze, Kriek and Iris.

 

I'm going to AB next week.
What is the usual shelf stocking times? Every few weeks? Months? Every other week?
Since the shelves seem to be emptying out now I am crossing my fingers that they are a week from now.

I'm not even dead set on Loons. 3F or De Cam, or whomever. I'm easy.

 

You should still be able to find these ones with no problem around Calgary.....
Cantillon Gueuze 100% Lambic
Cantillon Rosé De Gambrinus
Cantillon Vigneronne
Cantillon Bruocsella (1900) Grand Cru
Cantillon Iris

 

Lived in Calgary up to 2012. I'm back in town visiting family right now. Man, Cantillon is not as plentiful as it used to be here. The only place that had any was Zyn, with Kriek, Grand Cru and Iris, if I recall correctly. Mind you, I haven't been to a couple of the better CO-OP's in town or Oak and Vine.

 

We had plenty of stock, Jay, it's just that we got raided by some traders/drinkers from Manitoba & Saskatchewan as soon as they hit the shelves. My local store was cleared out within 30 minutes of stock hitting the shelves. Locals got sod all; not cool!!!!

 

Sounds like I need to look a little harder...

 

This site will help people find stuff in Alberta....

The Kensington Co-op won't pop up because we ordered through our Kingsland location before we opened, the five I listed are on the shelf at the Kensington Co-op as of 2pm 26/6/14

 

Liquorconnect is only good for general listed items though, isn't it? Any allocated products, which most high end, low stocks beers/wines are, won't be on the site. And it's not always reliable as to what is in stock NOW. It's good as a rough guide.

 

True, it’s just a guide; it will give people a starting point and save them from calling places that never ordered something though. I have seen allocated products in the past but not always, the Liquor Guide works in mysterious ways.
