    I've heard it's not at all open to the public, but there is an office for off-premise sale. Does anybody know of a good on-premise place to get a variety of Girardin?

    Also, I'll be in Brussels from July 4th to 7th, staying near Cantillon if anyone would be interested in grabbing a drink somewhere.

    I gather it's not easy -- wish we could get 'em at least on the Toer de Geuze.

    You can still get most of their stuff in some shops. The central Brussels tourist-y ones probably have their range. Beer Mania has the gueuzes, fruiteds and faro. If you'll have a car, there are better prices and the full offerings in different sizes at specialists out of down like Bierschuur and ABS. Great stuff.

    I wouldn't call Bierschuur a fair price shop... They were selling Boos for 100eur lol

    I just saw Hommage for 120 Euros. The same place had Armand 4 Herfst for half that two years ago....

    What looks like the same dustry bottles for years, or so it seems, right? Yeah, I'd love to know what's up with that. I don't gather that they're serious with that -- there seems to be some kind of wink-wink around that price, but I'm not in on the joke, or whatever it is. They're other prices are in line with elsewhere. Not as good as ABS.
