    Just got an email from them they just got Grand Cru and 100% Lambic in stock. There is a one bottle of each limit. Ordered mine! Love they deliver to NJ.

    Hell, at those prices you might as well just order from Etre.

    Wow. Both Belgium in a Box and Etre Gourmet are cheaper by the bottle for Cantillon, INCLUDING shipping costs, than that site is at just the list price. And you can pretty much get all of the Classic Gueuze you could ever want.

    There's no end to these shady shops. Exorbitant prices are just the tip of the iceberg. Sad thing is, they can get away with it because there's always dudes who don't give a fuck and give them their money anyway.

    to be honest, if you actually try their more available, lower end beers, its not worth the exorbitant amount of money for such a beer. Their higher end series its good, but i really have a hard time paying for their kriek and geuze when just a month ago it was 4 bucks a bottle when I was in Europe. There is plenty of good beer out here, no need to go nuts over this stuff. srs

    When will people finally understand that the #1 creator of shelf turds is high prices?

    Wow, please list the ones you are referring to in your post, as I have yet to try them. Sure am looking for these cheaper and better than Cantillon beers though, can't afford to buy the real thing since my lay off.

    What do you mean by it takes a lot to get the beer in? Does the guy in purchasing have to let the sales rep at the distribution company get a piece of his little sister? It's beer, not stocks.

    That's Canadian dollars right? Gotta say you're lucky. I couldn't buy a stick of gum with 30$ Canadian here... :stuck_out_tongue:

    It doesn't really make that much sense to get too excited over classic gueuze when I can go get some Tilquin that sits on shelves for $22. Grand Cru is also a very interesting beer to try, but lambic just tastes better with bubbles and I wouldn't go out of my way to try Grand Cru Bruoscella again.

    Drie Fontenein for one makes excellent beers, though i dont know their availability here, they were even cheaper than cantillon in europe. As for american sours, i've tried some great russian river stuff that competes (actually i prefer RR sours). There is also stillwater sours that drink really nice

    I've got a little Cantillon in the cellar, but I drink the hell out of Allagash Coolship stuff every chance I get. Such great beers.

    Because everyone can afford to travel to Europe to drink it there for a couple Euros a bottle, amirite?

    just saying that paying way to much for it here isnt worth it when there are great options here. My personal reasonings are skewed too because of the price difference between here and Europe.

    Okay, what are the great options here that compare to Cantillon?
