    Love the classic as well. Do they make a 750ml? I hear it's better than the 375 and I want to test this theory (though hard to do without getting a similar bottle date)

    What is this 2TD everyone is talking about this week?

    EDIT: n/m figured it out. thought it was something new.

    I'd almost rather have pictures of Cantillon while someone reads me the reviews in a soothing voice than drink most other beer.

    EDIT: yeah...someone drank the koolaid.

    I always find the 375s, been drinking a lot of Tilquin, Girardin, 3F gueuze lately. Oh and I had a source for 2002 marriage Parfait which is drinking great, but I got the last 2 bottles yesterday.

    I've tried a few of the 3Fs and always wish I was drinking the Cantillon version (except that taste of Lente, that was exceptional). Never tried any of those other ones. I see them around but I never bite.

    Tilquin is right up there with the best ones.

    alright that will be next. I've got a 3F too so I'll do a blind tasting of the 3.

    meanwhile, we had plenty of time to put this little competition to rest.

    Yeah. You should crack your cantillon for the Super Bowl too.

    FF is the one loon that had always eluded me. No mas!

    I remember 5 years ago when cantillons would just sit on store shelves and get dusty.

    This isn't your grampa's beer world anymore.

    And gpawned, drink your damned beer! They'll make more! :wink:

    I've finally gotten over hoarding everything but Cantillon. Drinking down my cellar is a new years resolution and I've already gotten through a few dozen bottles by having 2 tastings this month. I will open a loon this Sunday...it must happen.


    But this is what makes it so hard...I never know when I'll stumble across my next Loon. Certainly not as often as our good host.

    damn you guys and your easier access to the good stuff.... I have to wait and bite my nails for my local store to get a case maybe once every 2 years. It took some time, but I think I am finally in their good graces to try and get one when it is sitting in the back. So now the waiting game begins!

    just a friendly update for Brad... if that even is your real name.... I currently have a list of possibilities on my desk that is starting to look like research for a fantasy football draft. For one, I am impressed with my multitasking here at work... secondly, you are screwed!

    Lol, actually Brad isn't my name and I just moved so any address you are given is probably wrong. Soooo...yeah, take that.

    Dartboards are easily found. Just leave all the beer, I'll bring the dartboard!

    perhaps with all the beer we should not get one of the sharp pointy mettle ones in favor of the plastic kind... might be safer

    Why yes there is, with track lighting mounted to one of the wood beams on the ceiling. It has 3 different lights shining on it from different angles so there are no shadows. I love plainf darts but pretty much only play when people come over. Also have a little 27 inch tv mounted in the upper corner if the room so I don't miss football or something when I do play.

    Stained glass, surround sound, and the other wall is brick. Actually thin cement that looks like brick. The dude who installed it mixed pebbles and stuff in with the grout so it looks like old mortar. If you ever make it to the DFW area hit me up. It still has a ways to go but I'm trying to turn my house into somewhat of an adult playground.

    Lol, I actually have plywood cut out to cover the wood paneling just beneath the dart board if I need it. Well, if someone else needs it, haha.
