    Hello everyone,

    I'll be in London from Dec. 6th-12th, I'll mainly be in Sunbury by my work's offices but I will be in Central for 1 or 2 nights as well. On my last visit I went to The White Horse in Fulham excited to have some Cantillon, however there were no bottles available that day. I ended up having few others instead and thoroughly enjoyed that place.

    Can anyone recommend a pub/shop that sells Belgian or other lambics/wild ales/sours that I couldn't find in the states? Any help would be very appreciated!

    Cheers!

    *ducks for cover to avoid flaming comments*
    (Least favorite question of locals is to find beer from another country in their country thereby insulting the local brewers)

    I've had luck at some of the Craft Beer Company pubs to get Cantillon or Drie Fonteinen. CBC also would give you a chance to try some English craft beer. There's always something interesting on tap.

    Loon pants went out of fashion many years ago

    Great, thank you! I'm of course open to all beer styles and breweries. I am just very partial to lambics and other sour ales. :-)

    Buxton and Beavertown have done a few interesting fruity sours recently, keep an eye out.

    BrewDog's BottleDog shop at King's Cross might be worth worth a look for those elusive lambics.
