Try 3 or more, at least that's what I was told.

Not that I expect any change, but I've also sent an email to Cantillon as well.

Guys if pickup is an issue for you, I can do it for you no problem if you hand me a bottle :) I can even keep it as long as you need in my cellar.

And if worse comes to worse, I'll ship it to you provided you cover the costs.

Just hold em for me until I get up there. We'll split something from the cellar.

Just let me know what and when you need stuff picked up. I have Paypal if they aren't paid in full yet.

Well, this is either going to get slightly easier, or much much MUCH harder!

So now we know who to blame when you can only buy cantillon for on-site consumption at TDD ;)

Tdd posted some info. Looks like there will still be private imports.

So if I look at Google translate, the upshot is that they will maybe have private orders in the future, but not yet.

it will make things easier, maybe.
i think it means TdD will get skids sent to its brewery, but i imagine some bottles will appear in Mtl.
we're probably talking the same quantities at Keep6, except that Jean LOVES TdD. thinks they're damn close to making beer similar to him. so that may mean lots sent to PQ.
in the end, TdD's not in the distro game. it's just likely friends helping friends and sending inventory.

You can still order and get it shipped SAQ like you used to. The change is purely administrative. Though whether out of province buyers can participate? This could change since it's a grey area and their mandate is purely to serve equally and fairly Quebec residents.


If this becomes the case, I will request you trade 5 cases of Bellwoods for Quebec swill for the right to purchase through me lol ;)

Just kidding?
