My parents are headed over to France for the next two weeks, specifically the area of Nice. Is there anywhere in the area that I can let them know to check for Cantillon or 3F?
I doubt it, generally the good cavistes for beer are in the North (like Lille). Anywhere in France you can find the usual suspects in terms of Belgian beers (like Rochefort, Orval, St Bernardus...) but finding Cantillon or 3F is definitely a step further, I buy mine online on saveur-biere . Nevertheless, you can try this : http://www.yelp.fr/biz/cave-à-bières-nice-2 , it's called "Brune Rousse Houblon" now.
Hi aabuhanna I'm the founder of the biggest french beer community. If you are looking for lambic, the place are Paris and Lille, the south of France have the biggest late for the craft beer. I could bet it's impossible to find loons or 3F in this area.
