    Just a quick heads up that the Cantillon fairy is visiting stores around Boulder as we speak. I managed to get the last bottle in the store at Harvest, a Cuvee Saint-Gilloise. Liquor Mart supposedly gets Classic Gueuze sometime between now and 5pm.

    Happy hunting, if that's your thing - just wanted to make everyone aware. I was lucky to be able to break away from work, hit a couple shops, and get it done.

    Wonder if some goodies are getting dropped off at Crooked Stave besides the kegs?

    I've never looked for a specific beer, but I've been wanting to try Cantillon. Does one usually have to ask store clerks for a bottle?

    Tried a few places and no luck. Guess this whole hunting thing is harder than it looks. Oh well!

    I'm tempted to go buy one of those, since I have several on the way from the Society but I won't get them for at least several weeks

    Anyone know what all made it? I got a few classic Gueuze, but didn't know what else came. Also, any idea the price point? I was pretty happy that the Gueuze 750 was only 14.99.

    Aargh. Really frustrated that I couldn't get out for a little beer huntin' tonight. Free most of the day tomorrow. Anybody willing to share where there might be a lonely bottle or two looking for a good home? You can message me if you'd prefer. Thanks in advance.

    Didn't get out today either. Going to try my luck in Fort Collins tomorrow, anyone know if it made it up here as well? If I don't find any Cantillon, I'm sure I'll find something to take home.

    Stores that never got their shipment today include Liquor Mart in Boulder and Total Bev Westminster. Both are typical allotments, and LM is definitely getting at least 6 Classic Gueuze 750's. Good luck, gentlemen.
