It's getting expensive buying Belgium imports here though, is there such a thing as "cheaper" places to get them? I'm trying GIB and WR to at least try and fill the void.

I'm not sure if you can get it in Calgary (I live in Montreal), but there's a Quebec brewery here that brews a beer called Blonde d'Achouffe. It's a total rip-off of La Chouffe, has almost the same logo and everything, but it's a fraction of the price. It actually tastes remarkably similar to the original. And I have a headache now because I had a few too many of them last night.
