    I am setting up a rather large trade for some Cantillion (Fou Foune etc.) and was wondering if anyone out there could give me a possible $ value per bottle on most Cantillion. $22 sounds about right?

    If I could get Fou for $22 I would buy a shit ton...I believe value is much higher...But what do I know. lol

    I dropped $30 on my Fou from the shelf, and would do it again if I had the chance.

    Your sort of best off ignoring $4$ for Cantillon and instead just researching what bottles typically trade 1:1.

    BC Fou Foune doesn't cost much more than Classic but is a ton harder to trade for.

    For US "shelf", I've paid myself or heard of 750mL bottles of the more basic lineup (Gueuze, Kriek, Rose, CDC, and maybe Iris ) go in the $22-$30 range. Higher end stuff like Fou Foune, St. Lam, Mamouche, LPs would be more in the $30-$40 range.

    I think these ranges are most common, with reasonable mark-up.. Some retailers take advantage of the true demand and charge nearly twice this (e.g. Blackwells).

    Prices I've actually paid off the shelf in the US (750's):
    Classic $18
    Rose - $25
    Kriek - $25
    St. G - $35
    Mamouche - $35
    St. Lam - $38

    This is a good list. Last I recall, paid $16 for classic, $40 for St Lamvinus, low $20s for Rose and Kriek, and that was all at least 3-4 years ago. If they were on the shelf here now, would be much higher. In Belgium, though, a couple months ago I scored St Lamvinus at a store in Brussels for 18 euros.

    Very nice. I've never even seen a LP variety on a shelf here that I can remember.

    in Portland standard bottles are usually around $8-10 for 375s and $15 for 750s. i've seen Fou for $27, Iris and St Lam for $28, and Mamouche for $30.

    I paid 30 bucks for a 750 of LP Kriek about 3-4 months ago. Also 375ml of the regular Kriek was 10 bucks.

    The two separate times I saw Cantillon on the shelf:

    Classic = $25 for a 750
    Rose = $30 for a 750
    and
    Mamouche = $38 for a 375 (ripoff yo)

    I was in france/belgium a few weeks ago and i swear those LP gueze prices in this thread seem more reasonable then there...I cant remember what i paid for each but got LP gueze /St Lam/iris/rose for 60 euro but even i thought that seemed too good to be true.

    I honestly feel like i saw signs for 38 euro at cantillion

    Pretty sure Mamouche has never been made in a 375ml? However, prices in Canada have gone way up this year, that's if you can get it at all. 1 bottle/person limits and $35-$40 Foune and $40-$45 Mamouche is what we saw when it came and went in like a day. The good 'ol days are over sadly...

    Yeah, I was surprised. I was going hmm $38 isn't terrible.. after all its a 750ml Cantillon.. wait, the bottle looks kind of small. It was definitely a 375ml.

    Yea I know, I bought 3 bottles for onsight consumption there and they were in the 8-12 Euro range...It might have been for a magnum. I cant read french/flemish.

    They were out of anything rare when I was there.

    varying 15.99-25 down here in DE. My girlfriend scored a 750 Classic for 11.99 in Wilmington, I assume it was some sort of mistake though...
