    Barny's are grey importing a whole bunch of stuff and charging out the wazoo for it. Anyone who would pay those prices deserves to get screwed.

    Who in their right mind would pay triple digits for 750s? Hype kills

    Barnys has been saying for a while that there will no longer be any loons in the country for a while now, just to drive their market.

    Depends really. Have seen some really well priced stuff in there and some good value beers. Some of the locals can be really well priced. Other stuff can be $3-10 dollars higher than other shops.

    Nah, we just have a better sense of humor on this site and others. Remember it is an American site so must use US English at all times. :slight_smile:
    SRS now.... Somebody in the trading forum a few years ago misspelled Cantillon, Cantiloon. It got shortened to loons. Like the trading forums have enough shortened names. 3f, ddg, v15, Sara, etc.
    Could blame Canada but that is too easy and obvious.

    Barny's has the 3F Framboos for 159.99......not sure if pricing is as ludicrous as the Cantillon stock markups; I'm going to assume so.

    By the math not that bad a deal, as opposed to fou foune or the other stuff he is bringing in.
