What do Cantillon gueuze and kriek cost when Etre has them?

 

[NClambicguy]

What do Cantillon gueuze and kriek cost when Etre has them?

Gueuze was 11.79 Euro
Kriek was 15.49 Euro

Pretty steep difference.

Last time I caught some on Etre it was 11.79 for Gueuze and 16.11 for Rose.

Can you buy a couple or is it one per person/order?

 

[NClambicguy]

Always 1 of each per box. I believe you could order multiples if you made different orders and didn't use the reservation option.

These are Trappist World level prices.

 

[DariusDaBone]

These are Trappist World level prices.

I think Kurt posts in this thread? Maybe he can offer some thoughts on the pricing? I feel like kriek is pricier and not sold as often, but NCLG is right, thats a brutal spread next to EGs prices.

 

[jaeselector]

You don't like pricing? It can always go up. Americans will buy anything.

Or we can use another’s services. I don’t think you’re doing yourself any favors with this ********.

Ha! Got it. Sorry for getting hyped.

Watch out. He’ll do it with a blue pool noodle too.

Wow.

 

[gueuzelife]

What happened in here? Were those quotes really from Kurt?

For some dumb reason parody accounts are banned.

Were those quotes really from Kurt?

No.

 

[NClambicguy]

No.

The no fun police strike again. Kurt was killing it with the likes to post ratio.

 

[SeaWatchman]

No.

That’s been the rule around here for years now. Probably for those kinds of reasons too. Great account though, laughed a lot.

Am I the only one that thinks black label is a bit too dry? I mean, I personally prefer Cuvée René at that price point, but do know that black label gets tons and tons of love.

I enjoy it a whole whole lot, but yes it is on the dry end.

 

[yeahnatenelson]

Gueuze was 11.79 Euro
Kriek was 15.49 Euro

And these were 750mL prices?

I thought that was the point. It was basically a younger variation of the Mikkeller Bone Dry collab right?

 

[Maakun]

Yes. Kriek 375 is still visible on the website, those are 8.88.
Also Etre already has quite high prices compared to physical shops, mostly because they offer free shipping and packaging for a bunch of European countries I guess.

Nah. Their prices used to be very respectable. But as demand has grown the Cantillon prices seem to creep up 1€ or so each time they go up for sale. Etre used to be well cheaper than BiaB but nowadays it's a lot closer to inline with each other. When I started ordering from them in 2012 Cantillon seasonals were like 12-15€ and 750 gueuze/kriek/rose were like 7€/8€/10€.

They're still respecteable, but for beers that you can easily compare with physical shops they're higher, though you get extra service. Cantillon has gone way up at many places, some Dutch shops now even ask 20 for the gueuze.... Though let's not forget Cantillon also significantly raised their prices over the last years.

Fixed.

It's effectively the same beer. The Bone Dry Selection was Mikkel's blend, Black Label was a blend using the same foudres. The price difference being that one doesn't say "Mikkeller" on the label.

Jabs aside, I think the working relationship between Boon and Mikkeller has had a positive effect on what Boon has been putting out in recent years.
