April 9, 2008 [ Updated April 11, 2008 ] The closest proper bottle shop I could find when coming into Belgium from Germany by car.
Very nice orderly, clean, well-lit place and thus a full score for Ambiance. Service was friendly and very helpful and packed up all my bottles in boxes.
The selection was not as large as their website made me expect. When I was there all the beer was located in one corner of the store and my estimate is there were some 100-130 different bottles. Their advertised 400 bottles is inaccurate. The whole rest of the store is comprised of a huge whiskey collection which is truly spectacular and at least twice as large as their beer collection.
Here’s an almost complete list of all the breweries you will find represented in their selection so you know what you can expect: All the Trappists, excluding Westvleteren, including La Trappe. Achouffe, Abbaye des Rocs, Bios, Bocq, Dubuisson, Dupont, Ellezelloise, Friart, Rodenbach, St. Bernardus, Des Fagnes, Val-Dieu, Huyghe, Silly, Lefebvre, St. Feuillien, Cantillon, Lindemans, Timmermans, Boon, Mort Subite, Verhaeghe.
Glass selection is extremely limited, maybe a total of 20 different glasses.
Prices are fantastic - around 1eur for 0.3 bottles and 2-3eur for 0.75 bottles.

May 20, 2007 [ Updated August 31, 2008 ] Awesome beer shop close to a WW2 battle site in Belgium. They carry over 200+ beers when I was there. There website says 400 maybe I missed some? There was plenty of parking and spacious area to move about inside. They also carry tons of scotch if your into that. I’ll go back very soon. |
