    Insane shipping costs, equally insane hold-ups during customs transit as well as the risk of confiscation if some dufus at customs decides to exert his authority.

    None of which may apply, but I've heard storie where all applied.

    I'm not necessarily after the whales, but that doesn't mean I don't want 'm ;)

    3Floyds:
    Regulars: Alpha King, Arctic Panzer Wolf, Robert the Bruce
    Seasonal stouts & barley wines.

    Surly: Bender, Blakkr, Abrasive, Darkness, Eight.

    Before we get all worked up here, let's investigate the mechanics of this (still hypothetical) trade.
    Like I said, shipping to and from Belgium is often an exercise in masochism. That, plus ridiculous excise & shipping costs.

    If you happen to know someone visiting Belgium in the near future, that would seriously lower the costs and the trouble involved.

    To be entirely honest, I've no intention to undertake mail trades. F2F is another affair :)

    I'll be in Belgium(Brussels) in a few weeks and have a lot of limited sought after stuff like Hill Farmstead, Side Project, Casey, darkness, dark lord, heady topper, And a fairly loaded cellar. Be interested in an in person trade for some Fou Foune, Lou Pepe Kriek, or Lou Pepe Framboise if you have any.

    I have plenty of whales also if you want to talk rarer stuff. Stuff like Art, Aaron, See the Stars, Assassin, DDG, DB Huna, BA abraxas, etc

    Live in Belgium (Antwerp) and can trade a bottle of Fou Foune. I don't think I have Lou Pepe Kriek/Fr, but I do have other Cantillon/3F stuff.

    Nope. Antwerp. Which is pretty close to Brussels so for the sake of argument, I can be in Brussels ;)

    I'm from FL and have Cigar City Maduro brown ale in the fridge, and can look around for some of their stouts. Anything in particular you're looking for?
