true, but cantillon doesn't price their stuff at $30.  at the brewery a bottle of their standard gueuze is a little over 6 bucks.  it's the importers and the shops that are jacking up prices because of the rarity and the public's willingness to pay.

some are delicious.

Damn no middlling Cantillon beers, but this is a damn fine list for the Paradiso sour list Thurs-Sat.

Makes me wish I didn't have baseball tickets for Thursday night, or my kids TKD belt test Friday night.

no, i have zero feelings about my lack of, or future lack of, cantillon. and the reason for that is detailed above.  they could announce that zwanze day is now 365 days a week in every major city across the US and i would still give zero fucks about cantillon.  however, as i stated above, i would like to drink their beer because it is fantastic and i would like to drink said beers at their brewery at reasonable prices.

surely you mean half can?

;D ;D

I did save some of my can for my wife to drink later. But I *do* get home first, so i may have given myself the bigger half.

Actually, I'm on home vacation. I had a whole one for lunch all by myself yesterday!

You rebel!


Doesn't it lose the carbonation? Pardon my ignorance as I'm a rank amateur….

It would lose its carbonation over time, but i don't think an hour or two will make a big difference. This person experimented with the notion.

You were just in Florida, right? Hope you had some Cigar City when you were there!

POTW.

I'll explain Florida, and let you explain your in-laws.  ;)

I was in South Beach a few years ago (realize that's not the same as Miami Beach) and drank Lagunitas, Stone, Oskar Blues, Cigar City, and others. While it wasn't Metro DC, it wasn't rural West Virginia either.

Tampa/St Petersburg actually has a thriving local beer scene, or so I've read.

Or at least a bottle share.

That way I only have to drink one or two ounces at a time.  ;D

well i was very close to south beach.. 36th… and the one liquor store i went to was in south beach and they had jack diddly..

i'm sure there are places you can get good beer- obviously i didn't have the time to go on an expedition- but in general florida is a budweiser kind of place….



anyways…

rural west Virginia, is hot.
