    I've been noticing a couple of the better bottle shops around town are getting some 3f intense red. This is the first 3F I've seen around town. Does anyone know if they are going to start distributing more of there beers around town/Midwest?

    They've been around here for years, much like Cantillon (just more available). There's occasionally some hiatus-like breaks in appearances, but they've generally been there, sitting on the shelf like all the other non-Cantillon sours from Belgium. I even remember breaking my first bottle of Golden Blend on the way home from the City a couple years ago...

    I would say most liquor stores don't carry 3F, but it is definitely around. I see it at Whole Foods in Lincoln Park basically every time I go there (which is only a few times a year, admittedly).

    3F Intense Red, Oude Kreik and Cantillon Vignerrone, Cuvee Saint Gilloise dropped at my bottle shop today....and it was scooped up right away. Drawbacks of working a 9-5.

    What bottle shop around here lets you know, or hell even puts Cantillon out for sale to the general public?

    Last time I found bottles in Chicago was at a Walgreens. Walgreens carries all of Chicago whales
