    Welcome to the world of trading. Beer distribution in the US varies by state. Certain states will get the stuff listed above but usually in very small amounts. Cantillon is extremely rare over here and there are quite a few people who would love to get their hands on their stuff (myself included).

    Welcome. As the above poster said, Cantillon will definitely be a good draw for you. Heady, while limited in distribution, is not rare so you should definitely be able to get some for Cantillon, perhaps even some other things possibly. Would all depend on finding the right trader. Good luck!

    Your biggest issue is the international shipping to be honest.

    That's great to hear Fingers crossed it works out. Does anyone have any experience trading internationally? Wat might be some hurdles?

    the hurdle is the cost, and to a lesser degree it's more of a pain with paperwork and needing to use USPS (I think most people generally use Fedex)

    Cantillon is always a good draw.
