Message MannyGoldberg beers 208 º places 31 º 05:40 Thu 7/4/2013 Yeah, yeah I know. Apols in advance. Heading to New York next week and wanted to bring over a couple for a mate. Don’t worry I’m bringing lots of fresh London stuff as well. Anyone know of any bottle shops with stock at the moment? Can’t order online for various logistical reasons.
Message Leighton P beers 33748 º places 1204 º 05:42 Thu 7/4/2013 Kris Wines has a few I think. Also, the Ealing Beer Festival has some on their menu, which I’m guessing you could take away.
Message Theydon_Bois P admin beers 40711 º places 1239 º 05:44 Thu 7/4/2013 There’s a bottle shop in the Wimbledon area that has been mentioned before (could have been on BA?). Work colleague stumbled across it at the weekend and said there was Cantillons available.
Message MannyGoldberg beers 208 º places 31 º 05:56 Thu 7/4/2013 I’ll give Kris Wines a try. Amazingly I’ve never been there. Worst case scenario I think there might be some left in the pubs that did the Cave Direct/Tour de Geuze thing but the prices are probably still pretty steep.

Message Leighton P beers 33748 º places 1204 º 06:08 Thu 7/4/2013 Euston Tap also has some Loons. I would guess the prices aren’t that bad.
Message Fin P beers 17289 º places 1653 º 06:17 Thu 7/4/2013 Is the term ’Loons’ some trendy new shortening of Cantillon then? I have never heard the term before, serves me right I guess for being ’out in the sticks’.

I have never heard the term before, serves me right I guess for being ’out in the sticks’. I thought he was after some trousers, as in shortening of Panteloons. Or he was advertising that some southern Belgians were visting London as in Walloons in London. Or he was complaining about the daft tourists you find in London, Loons in London
