Cantillon Price

At the retailer I work at, standard markup on Cuvee St Gilloise would proably be ~$25-30 bucks. so $65 is outrageous.

 

With such variance in price and availability, it's no wonder it can be hard to access trade value to get Cantillon stuff.

 

At a bar, I have paid 75 dollars for a bottle Saint Lamvinus before.

 

LOON

 

They are indeed. 375s are 3 euro each.

That's an insane price for any beer in my opinion from a retail shop. I could possibly see that price at a bar/restaurant if it had been properly stored and it was an older bottle (Older bottles SHOULD be better but like with any beer problems could arise from a number of different factors). Cantillon has now taken on a wine role, so trying to comprehend them any other way just makes you scratch your head. If you think of it like a great wine that's been aged a while and is from a good "vintage" then you can wrap your head around the prices. But there's comparable styles and beers for much cheaper elsewhere.

 

Nice. I think it's "Con - TEE - yon" with the y taking on a slight j sound if you wanna get real Frenchy.

 

Apparently it takes a strong constitution not to buy rare beer for over inflated prices if you see it at a store.

 

Last bottle of Cuvée Saint-Gilloise I bought I believe I paid around $25. The last bottle of LPG I found was $20 a bottle at a bar and the last LP Kriek I bought was $26.

 

The most I ever paid for a bottle of Cantillon was at a bar, drink-in, and it was Fou Foune for $50.

 

Here's what was available when I was at Cantillon 2 weeks ago. My group of 7 shared 9 bottles.

 

You weren't around for the great Cantiloon shipment thread a few years ago. I've mostly heard can-tee-yawn or can-tee-yone...I prefer the former.

 

Those beers only come in 750ml...

 

If you wait . ill bring you some home from Belgium.. im leaving in a week +1/2 be back towards end of sept. guarantee we can work out a trade nowhere near those prices

 

Ridiculous, for a 5%abv fruit beer. Waste of money. I'd rather buy a bottle of good scotch for that price. Overrated.

 

which shop?

 

Just bought a bottle of Cuvee St Gilloise in St. Louis for $22. Very fair and worth every penny.

At an event last month, bottles of Iris sold for consumption at a bar for $35; Hommage was $50. Again, very fair prices.

 

I'm in CT. IP trade for some or share when youre back? Ive only ever had cantillon once

 

I'll Keep it in mind, I've never had any

 

these are all wrong.

the ll makes a sound like a y and there is no "L" sound

 

That's what I was thinking. I have a local bar that has quite a few imports for to go sales as well, and while the bar price is typical bar markup, the to go prices actually beat the local bottle shops a lot of the time.
If that is the to go price then I could not support that kind of gouging no matter what the beer was.
