Any tips to get this without a license plate number.... Without paying over $10/bottle secondary market?

Going in October, and would love to bring some back for friends.

Apparently there is a cafe that is affiliated with them... Not guaranteed to be able to buy anything, and the different styles may or may not be available depending on when you go.

That's what I'm going to end up trying though. I have to do some experimental packing with my current suitcase to see how many bottles I can fit. Hoping to bring some back from there and Cantillon, at the very least.


Hoping not to buy a bigger one, but it wouldn't be horrible... All I have are carry on sizes.

I really like Away luggage because of the hard outer shell. Was able to squeeze 3 bottles of Scotch from our recent trip, but I had the medium size one that I checked.

TJ Maxx actually has a decent selection of luggage, usually. I'm going to check them out. Definitely going to go hard shell. I should be able to fit most of my clothes in my carry on, though... Just leave some for padding, and bring some foam for the checked bag. Ideally, I'm bringing back at least 3 from there, 2 from Cantillon, and maybe more.

Try Kohl's. They usually have some good deals.

That's a bucket list trip for a beer connoisseur. I'm excited for you. Hope you are able to get some.

Haha, thanks... Beer was definitely one of the major factors for choosing Belgium this year.

The Aslin Festival was awesome. 450 North was solid. Jackie O's was there, only got to try one of their beers. Inu Island had insane lines. Drekker was my favorite.

I think one guy I know when down there for it (wouldn't necessarily call him a "friend" but I have been to his house for a beer party before). Looked awesome. Did Jackie O's bring Appervation? That was probably their biggest beer the past several years. Sold out in a couple hours... Luckily I know a guy who knows a guy, haha.

BA Black Falls and Nectar Flow.

I had the Nectar Flow. It was solid.

Just did a rough layout... Think I could fit 7 bombers in my current bag. Should be enough.

Hah. Just get some merino wool shirts, underwear and socks and wear that crap for several days. It's all about the beer man.

So how did it go?
That wen't fine. I took a bus to Poperinge, rented a bike, and rode up to the cafe. I could only buy a six pack of the 8, so I had a 12 and a blonde there with my lunch, and rode back into town.


Now, I only brought back two bottles of Cantillon, because I "lost" my wallet with all my cards, and had limited cash resources. All in all, I brought back 3 bottles of the 8, 2 bottles of Cantillon, 1 bottle from a brewery in Bruges that had a bunch of Belgium's brewery's lambics blended, and 1 bottle from De Struise (I believe their quad).

Did it get stolen or did you misplace it?
Former. I was dumb, and not aware enough of my surroundings. Plus, I was carrying around all of my cards like a dummy.
