Saint Lamvinus - what's it take?

The only Cantillon I have ever seen around here is the Classic Geueze, and that was only twice.

Cantillon (and 3F for that matter) is a pain in the ass to get, so I would expect that you need something limited/hyped in order to get it. If you are willing to ship across the border they seem to have a bit of an easier time finding it in Canada.

 

I've bought Lamvinus 3 times in the states, and each time it was $38-$42...well worth it in my opinion

 

Lamvinus was always the priciest bottle, typically $28-35 back before the Great Purge. It's good in my opinion, but not worth 2x the price of others in the family.

 

I recently went in on an order from BeerPlanet and after shipping ended up being around $31-32.

 

Etre keeps slowly raising their prices to the point that you can do better elsewhere on a lot of stuff now. I can't blame them, because they seem to be struggling to keep a lot of Cantillon in stock nowadays, as every beer geek under the sun is ordering from them. There are a lot of other sites that sell, and you should be able to get Lamvinus down to $30 a bottle shipped, as it's a $10-$15 beer in Belgium.

 

It's about $120 to ship 17 750's with Beer Planet. So $29/bottle, if they had that many...

 

I think 10 bottles gets you in right under 20 kilos. 77 euro shipping. 1.23 exchange rate. One bottle should be $31.00.

Edit: I could only get 16 Cantillon 750s in a box to get under 30 kilos. 94.50 euro shipping. One bottle should be $28.80.

 

Just got in an Etre order last week, St. lam ended up at just over $28 shipped...

 

Mine was the same as well, just a bit over $28.

 

We had some 375's in the mix on the last order which probably changed things, but it ended up being $8 a bottle I think.
