Saw somewhere in the UK where you can buy this by the crate. Was considering ordering a crate for personal consumption but wondered what the shipping and duty might come to? I suspect I don't want to know the answer <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" />

Cantillon is what I initially had in mind. I'm really trying to establish whether I'd make a loss small enough to justify bringing over a few crates

I've tried so few wits that I don't really know. I just think it's a shame that there aren't more available.

I'll investigate further.[/quote:2t9kslup]It's a tax thing, I think. It's possible that you may be able to pay the tax up front so Revenue aren't bothered about what the beer is doing before you sell it, but I don't think anyone does that. There are other people on ICB who know more about this than me.[/quote:2t9kslup]

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's what Jonathan does. Or maybe I just got the wrong end of the stick, and he said he *wasn't* doing it because it was too expensive up-front. But we definitely discussed it and I do think he paid up-front.[/quote:2t9kslup]
I thought he said this too.
