Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 05:26 Sun 4/26/2015 After reading about the West Midlands crew finding new Polish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Venutian beers in various shops, I thought I would check out Ashford’s one and only "International" shop. It’s only a 3 minute detour from the railway station and I hadn’t been in about 2 years. I wasn’t expecting much, maybe one or two rates, but blow me down I actually had to leave rates on the shelves because my backpack wouldn’t hold any more. I was the archetypal kid in the literal sweet shop (it sells sweets as well as beer). Being a slow Sunday morning even the owner came over to give me some advice and ask why I was sitting on the floor surrounded by cans of different beers giggling to myself. And then proceeded to give me a bulk purchase discount. Here is what I got http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/zubr-ciemnozloty/152311/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/perla-chmielowa-hop-pearl/10401/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/perla-niepasteryzowana/139553/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/perla-mocna-strong-pearl/10402/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/piast-mocne/37367/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/timisoreana/47351/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/cesu-premium-alus/14130/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/kasztelan-niepasteryzowane/72445/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/ciuc-premium/11869/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/lomza-export/10444/ http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/bucegi/13447/ And a beer not on RB yet Ursus Brasov Ciucas 4.6% Looks like I’ll be uping my meagre 2 ratings from Romania then.

Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 05:52 Sun 4/26/2015 I’m jealous. I’m sure most/all of those beers are available round London but I’ve not so far found anywhere local to me that has a wide range of international stuff from different countries. I’m guessing that, because there are so many more people in London, the "international" shops tend to be more specialised towards particular nationalties. All I’ve really found in my neck of the woods are the standard Polish beers. There are quite a number of Brazilian shops but they have not been happy hunting grounds.

Message SarkyNorthener beers 5200 º places 142 º 05:58 Sun 4/26/2015 The two best shops I have found are WB Stores in West Bromwich which I have been using for about 4 or 5 years now and a shop called Deya in Burton which is great for Lithuanian and Latvian beers. I really need to enter it on the database.
