Blimey. All tickets sold out in 30 minutes. The hype around Cantillon is getting even more out of control.

Oooh, my son has a few Cantillons on order. Maybe I should nick them and keep them as an investment!

Nick them and drink them!

Prices are getting nuts - they can't increase production that much and there's massive demand from the US. Last month they put some bottles on sale in the brewery with a three bottle limit. People were paid to queue up and buy the three bottles and I'm seeing them on resale now for up to 150 eur.

Sour/wild beers are big in the US and everyone in the US wants to try Cantillon as it's one of the best.

The production method means they can't really expand, so there's a really high demand for what they do make. It's not too difficult to get hold of their geuze, kriek and rose, although not cheap at 15 squids a bottle. But they also produce smaller quantities of beers which they only release at the brewery. Cheeky blighters in Belgium stock up on it and then inflate the prices online. Since Cantillon limited purchases to 3 bottles, these bellends pay people to purchase for them.

I've got a bottle of one of their beers which I bought there 18 months ago. I've just looked on a US beer trading website and the last bottle sold went for 850 USD!

It's a really great position for Jean van Roy to be in - 20 years ago, his Dad couldn't give the stuff away and nearly went bankrupt.
