Brasserie Cantillon (2020)

:-) you will definitely stand out in the crowd.
Maybe we should start a fancy dress visit.

 

Today to go,
Gueuze magnum 2015 and 2018 x1
Grand cru bruocsella x3
Saint Lamvinus x1
Brabantiæ x1

 

Heading over this afternoon, will I see any BAs?

 

Will be in Brussels on Thursday, anyone have most recent offerings for both in house & to-go?

 

I don't think it's changed much since the last update.

 

Following the decisions of the Belgian government, Cantillon has closed their to-go sales. No restart date is announced yet.

 

Update?

 

It's open as of today.

 

Anyone been lately? I might be in the neighborhood. (Already pretty well stocked, though, I prrrrrrobably shouldn’t…)

 

A post on Cantillon's Facebook page mentioned that 400 3-bottle sets of Menu Pineau, Aronia and Magic Lambic will be sold online at 16:00 CEST as part of a fundrasier for three local theatre companies.

 

anyone have a recent update on selections available to go?

 

I was there yesterday and they have:
Iris
Cuvée Saint-Gilloise
Vigneronne
Brabantiae
2018 Geuze Magnum

plus something new. They are offering 3L boxes of lambic. They said it doesn’t keep longer than about a month and it not meant to be stored. It’s in a plastic bag. Great price too. 3L of Geuze was 15 euro. Kriek was 22 if I remember correctly. If I have a large get together in the future I’m going to get it a try.

 

It's not 3L of gueuze, it's 3L of lambic, Gambrinus, or Kriek.

 

Yea your right now that I think about it. Good catch.

 

any update?? on the board

 

Board update:
Nath (3pp)
Mamouche (2pp)
Brabantiae (1pp)
Fou’ Foune (6pp)
Magnum Geuze 2018 (1pp)
Plus the normal 3

You can believe I picked up a 6 pack of Fou’ Foune. I have never seen more than 2pp so I had to. Cheers!

 

I wonder if the higher limits is COVID related? When I visited in January I asked when Fou Foune would be for sale and was told they didn't know and wouldn't tell me if they did....


There were crates of Fou Foune right next to the point of sale register

 

They sold an online package in November last year that was available for pickup through March 31st. So a portion of that Fou Foune in January was likely already sold.

That being said I’m sure fewer visits has led to higher limits / items lasting longer

 

Fou was 6 per person a few years back when I went.
