So I found a bottle of this stuff, but it's $30. Worth it?!?!?!?

That's like saying you found a bottle of "miller" for $5. Is it Miller lite? High life? MGD?

Do you have more details on it? I hope it's at least a 750 and not a lil guy

Bah, I have no idea which one it was. It was the 750 though. I'll probably stop by tomorrow and get more details.

I would start with one of the 355ml for around 10 bucks personally. I love cantillon, but 30$ is pretty steep, especially if you've never had anything of theirs before.

In my opinion Cantillion is way over-rated. Not worth the cost. There are far better lambic producers that charge much less. I prefer Girardin, Hansenns and Drie Fonteinen.

I wouldn't buy it every week, but if this is the first place you've seen it and you're not able to get it anywhere else - I'd get it.

Then again, their geuze is one of my favorite beers period. :pop
