You sure? I know it's available for drink-in already, but hasn't been released for take-away sales yet, AFAIK.Based on some comments on another site, it looks like Fou' Foune has been released at the brewery.
Does anyone have any experience or insight as to how long bottles usually stay for sale?

But what do I know, I don't use any other beer sites besides this one.
Huh? Of course it's available to go there, every yearly release is available to go at some point during the year.Do they ever put it up for t/a at the brewery? I just thought they had core stuff?

Yeah, it varies a lot, and with how popular they are stuff seems to sell out quickly. But I until recently it was pretty unusual for them to only have the normal stuff.Ah ok - there was nothing available to go other than regular stuff when I visited.

Reliable sources say Fou Foune (max 6/person), Mamouche (max 3/person) and LP Framboise (max 6/person) are indeed now available for take-away sale at Cantillon.
****, they're going to be out of all of those when I visit Brussels in Oct.
I'll just have to drink Rose de Gambrinus and regular Gueuze all day. Could be worse.

Yeah, I have a guy in Brussels, but his situation is such that he can't just go to Cantillon on my say-so; I might get lucky though.HenrikO - You don't know anyone in Brussels to help you out? I've already gotten my allocations from a co-worker LP, FF and Mamouche sitting in his basement.
and Primebeer, given past years, it'l most likely last at least 3 weeks, mamouche slightly longer. Belgium isn't full of hoarders like America. There's a reason Gueuze and Kriek are produced year-round. That's what most people drink
If you're worried, post an ISO on RateBeer (tons of Belgian traders there) and offer up local Imperial Stouts and fresh double IPAs. The belgian traders are very generous and there aren't many beers of that style available in Belgium.

That's the spirit. It's awesome visiting Cantillon regardless of what they have for sale.I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. No matter what, I'm absolutely stoked to be able to visit the brewery once or twice while I'm in Brussels and drink whatever they have available for on site. I'll be there next Monday so I'm feeling pretty confident about being able to pick up at least some of these bottles.
Word is that Mamouche is now out at the brewery. LPF and Fou still available.
I'll be rolling through Brussels for an afternoon stop at Cantillon in about a month.
ill be there saturday
I stayed at a hotel near that train station and it was a pretty easy walk. I don't know anything about parking at the station, but parking near Cantillon itself is sort of a crapshoot, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If you do park near Cantillon, be advised that it's all pay parking and they sure do check.I'll be rolling through Brussels for an afternoon stop at Cantillon in about a month. My wonderful wife is going to DD for me, so I'm trying to plan and make this as smooth as possible for her.
Any suggestions for parking? It appears that we could park at Gare du Midi and walk?
Thanks!
I'm going to Brussels tomorrow, will update y'all on the situation at the brewery on Thursday.fingers crossed that there are bottles of '14 Fou' still there one week from today.
I tried to go there but ended up at the wrong one. Oops! Write me a blurb and I'll put it in.Probably ought to consider adding Delirium bar to the list. Just plowed through an 07 3F schaerbeekse kriek, an 06 Oude kriek boon, and an 04 Gueuze mariage parfait. Grand total was €35.
I was going to do this but ran out of time. Dany is on here somewhat frequently - I wrote him before I left and he said to just give him a day or two heads up and he'd be happy to host visitors.Any input on visiting Fantome? I've been going back and forth about whether to make the detour through Soy.

I'll be in Belgium Nov 18-21, and the rough plan is to spend my last day in Brussels (the 20th), hitting Cantillon and Moeder Lambic. Could use some ideas on where to stay that would put me within decent proximity to both - aka I'd like to drop off whatever bottles I buy from Cantillon before hitting dinner/bars.
Otherwise, going to Amsterdam the 21st-24th and this is mostly to go sightseeing and clubbing.
I posted up to try and land IP trades too, and happy to meet anyone to have a beer!
And hell, honestly gonna do that myself as well as I LOVE Schaerbeekse Kriek

Last time we stayed in Brussels my wife and I stayed at the Hotel Midi, which is near the Midi train station, which is very close to Cantillon. Easy walking distance, though carrying a million bottles back may not be the best.Cool, I'll look into both. Not really keen on staying at a hostel or dorm type setup since I'm planning on buying bottles at Cantillon and want to be sure I've got a safe place for them while asleep!
