This is nuts - browsing in a "specialist" beer store whilst other people wander past with newspapers, milk and pizzas! The range matches this surreal feeling - it seems to have been picked completely at random, and unfortunately scattered on the shelves with a similar disregard for convention - there seems to be no attempt to group beers into any order at all, whether by country, style or alphabet! I saw Traquair House Ale in three different places! If you’ve got time, it’s truly wonderful to browse here, for with the eclectic approach to stock purchase, there are beers here from breweries I’ve never heard of before. Loads of UK microbrews, and a load of Belgians. Beyond this the range is rather more limited, but there’s still plenty I’d never seen anywhere in the UK before. As has been stated previously, Jack is very friendly and quickly marked me down as a beer enthusiast - he said if I wanted anything specific he would try to get his suppliers to get it for me. I was happy just picking random unheard-ofs though. A fantastically eccentric beer paradise, wish my local corner shop was like this! I will definitely return!

Have visited here on a few occasions and have always found something new and interesting. Jack the owner is a very friendly fellow who will happily stop and chat for a age with you whilst acknowledging that beer really isn’t his specialist subject, rather this was just a niche that they could exploit in order to compete with the supermarkets and he certainly leapt into it with some gusto. A good selection of mainly UK, but some decent Belgian and US stuff amongst. Worth a trip to if in the area. In the micro world of Oxfordshire beer havens though, as good as this is it has been a little usurped somewhat by Bellingers at Grove

What a find (thanks Joeh). An amazing range of beers in what looks like a neighbourhood store. Rather off the beaten track, but I always make a detour if I’m travelling back from Oxford at a reasonable hour. Good range of English beers, and a fair range of Belgian given the location, plus a smattering of beers from elsewhere. There’s always something new to try.

From the outside this Londis franchis appears to be an average local store, but they actually sell over 600 beers from all over the world! The selection of imports cover Belgians including a fair selection of lambic, Belgian beers including some quite hard to find ones and American beers including Goose Island, Sierra Nevada and Great Divide. The British selection is vast including many breweries rarely seen elsewhere including locals from Lovibonds and also a number of Scottish breweries including BrewDog. A must visit! The store is located on the east side of Wallingford Road just north of the railway bridge.
