    I'm curious what it's taken to trade for Fou' Foune lately. Any comments/thoughts are appreciated!

    I traded a bottle of Fou Foune for a BCBVS straight up. This was in April (at Dark Lord Day, actually).

    Hope that helps.

    EDIT: It was the '11 Fou Foune, which I believe is the most recent.

    Traded a Southampton Black Raspberry Lambic for a Fou Foune 2010 375ml earlier this year. Kind of a special case due to the volume difference, but still....

    These are/were for the Japanese market (see back label). No clear dating aside from the cork (Bottled in 2010).

    I traded a 2011 Fou Foune 750 for a Chocolate Rain b2 about 3 or 4 months ago. It's one of my favorite beers though so even that was kinda tough for me, I only did it because the guy I was trading with is a good guy and really wanted it.

    Fou Foune is my favorite beer... here's what I've recently traded bottles (750ml) for:

    2 x Beat B5 (did this twice)
    1 x Chocolate rain
    1 x CFH 12'

    I swapped a Southampton Black Raspberry Lambic for a 2011 Fou Foune back in the spring. Turns out those are probably my two favorite fruited wild ales.

    Ah, yes...you are correct.

    The Japanese bottles simply have the "special" back label sticker affixed over what's presumably a "standard" back label. I'd imagine that this would resemble the Canadian version if I were to try and remove it (which I never will, of course).

    EDIT: Unless there's a back label sticker especially for Canada.....perhaps in French??? ISO!

    I'm in Canada and I've never seen a 375ml Fou"Foune, although if these go back to 2005 or so then it's highly possible as I wasn't into drinking Cantillon back then. For labels, the bottles coming from Quebec have different back labels than the ones in Alberta for example, so it looks like the importer is partly responsible for the back label.
