    I last post I saw about this was 2 years ago, so I am hoping that someone could help me out.

    Trying to find ANY Cantillon in SoCal. I will drive anywhere between Santa Barbara and San Ysidro to find various bottles of it.

    Can anyone help a sister out?

    Thanks!

    when someone gets it, it'll be gone by the time you get there.

    The only advice I can give is get an instagram account and follow all of your local (and non local) liquor stores

    Thanks for the advice - between that and Facebook, I'm in the know, but sometimes you never know

    I'm kind of at the point where I just figure in going to need to order from Belgium kn a box for Cantillon. Seems like a lot of stores dont even pit it out.

    I did come up at the grand opening for Ramirez today though lol

    If you're in or around LA you should check out the new Ramirez Liquor in Boyle Heights. Grand Opening was today...

    Californai in socal? Well, right now ramirez they proabaly still has some, kriek, geuze and rose. Which are the easier cantillon to find. On a regular day el cerrito may have some cantillon on the shelves. Most like it will be the ones i mentioned. Also, although this is a bar Lucky Baldwins may put out some cantillon. They put out some Fou Foune like two weeks ago but I doubt that lasted.

    I just hit up the new Ramirez in Boyle Heights. They still have plenty of the Cantillon Kriek and Gueze Lambic - about four shelves worth. They are out of the Rose. This place has a great selection in general.

    You must check our Ramirez Beverage Center NOT Ramirez Liquor. (Same owners but shops are very different).

    Lucky Baldwins in Old Town Pasadena has some bottles - Kriek ($28) and Classic Gueze ($40). Just had one on Friday.

    Bottlecraft in Little Italy (San Diego) had a few bottles last week (odds are gone by now) but they seem to get it in a bit more frequently than other bottle shops.

    I've never seen Cantillon at any of the amazing liquor stores I've visited in So Cal. Best of luck.

    Yeah he put out some more recently. Saw them yesterday. But pricing is restrictive. 375ml bottles of Rose and Classic (Belgian Flag) were $30 and 750ml of Rose were $45. Couldn't pull the trigger with those price tags. Cheaper to order from BIaB

    those prices are absurd.
