Vigneronne

I've never tried Vig and have enough St. Lamvinus to where I can take a hit on one. Wish I'd locked the trade down with you though. I like the cut of your jib around here.

 

These just hit distro in the Tampa area, I think 4-5 shops got 1-2 cases. I'm assuming other parts of the country also got it. Might be a good time to throw up an ISO.

 

i could not disagree more, vig may be my fav cantillon and it ages perfectly

 

I like vig better as well. Maybe equal with FF, but definitely more to my tastes than St. Lam

 

That boat has sailed sadly. That is, it's gotten much harder to get Cantillon in Canada than it was a couple of years ago. The only "easy" ones now are Iris, RdG, Classic, and Kriek. Vig and Lam pop up now only occasionally here (like once or twice a year, and your mule game must be strong as it's usually in a city 1500+ miles away from you and they sell out in 2-3 days). Lou Pepes, Fou'Foune and Mamouche really haven't been seen in quanity since 2010-11 (ie- For FF we got 75 bottles for all of Canada in 2012 I believe).

 

do you think i would have any problems getting Vigneronne for Upright Special Herbs + Block 15 Premiere Annee? that's about $21 for both bottles, each at ~800 count. ISO, btw.

 

Special Herbs is getting distro'd in Vancouver, so much less incentive for that one for Canadians to go international on. Not sure how sought after it is on the U.S. side though.

 

Seems reasonable-ish, although in my experience Block 15 doesn't get the respect on the open trading market that it deserves. Put up the ISO and see!

 

i picked up 2 Vig and a classic yesterday in Vancouver. they also had the grand cru along with all the other "easy" ones. i would oneshave bought more but i felt bad, I'll be in Calgary for work next month and will look to grab a couple more bottles then.

 

Wow! I'm surprised the Vig. (and Lam?) from that shipment last month are still kicking around! No Lou Pepes though last go-around sadly, none since late/mid 2012 I think for Canada...

 

No Lam, the Brus... I was really happy to find the Vig. I wasn't expecting anything, just went in to get some Fat Tug.

 

Phew...I'm glad you didn't get me another magnet for the fridge.

 

got you a fat tug son

 

having had vig (and currently being in possession of a bottle of vig), it's a great beer but certainly not my favourite loon. holler at me and i may be persuaded to crack it open

 

If the peche was a part of the trade I would certainly do it.

 

That Peche is also the best peach beer I've had.......

 

Vigneronne is priceless. I pity anyone who hasn't had it before.

 

Try trading for Tropical Storm! ; )

 

I'm gagging on homerism

 

Well I haven't had Persica yet, and West Ashley used to be my favorite peach beer.....
