    Moeder Lambic, a beer cafe in Brussels, is having Cantillon weekend from Friday through Sunday (9/22-24).
    24 Cantillon beers on tap ranging from 2012 to 2017. Totally fortuitous on my part as my wife and I are staying only a few blocks from the cafe and we wandered over there this evening not knowing anything about what was on tap. I had been bummed after reading that the Cantillon Brewery only had 5 beers available for sale at the brewery. I can't believe my good fortune.

    I had Fou'Foune 2017; Lou Pepe Framboise 2012; and Vigneronne 2015. Plan to head back tomorrow. Any suggestions for beers to try would be appreciated.

    Just park your glass under the Fou'Foune tap and enjoy.

    Enjoy

    You struck gold! For a beer nerd, something that I'm sure will be very memorable for rest of your life.

    I was fortunate enough to spend a terrific weekend hanging both at Moeder Lambic and Cantillon this spring, albeit not for Zwanze day, so they didn't have as many taps (plenty of bottles though)! Can't really go wrong here and the three you already had are phenomenal. I would recommend the St. Lam grand cru for sure. Also any of the more obscure things like the Armagnac, rose rose and the ones they brewed specially for Moeder Lambic. Carnignan is pretty great too!

    Jealousy.

    Also I thought their cheese and charcuterie board was possibly the best of any I had during my trip, and I had a lot. Had to go on a cured meat hiatus afterwards.

    You've had 3. Only 21 more to go.
    Enjoy your good fortune.
    The beer God's have smiled upon you. Do not insult them.
