Au Grain d’Orge

I go sometimes to this place and the guy working there could be a bit cold but he is nice and he gives good information. The prices are relatively high but you could have some nice offers. It is outside of Lausanne but but you can reach the place with the bus 36 and after you have to walk five minutes from the shopping center Crissier. It is one of my favourite place in Lausanne.

One of my favorite bottle shops in Switzerland. There you will find mainly Belgian Ales. They have all the "Belgian basics", I mean, you’ll find there all the Trappist stuff (with the exception of Westy), Duvel, St. Bernardus Abt, Bush, Rodenbach, Le Chouffe, Tripel Karmeliet, etc. However, you might find some surprises there as well, like: De Dolle, Abbaye des Rocs, Cantillon (Mamouche, Lou Pepes, Gueuzes, ets), Drie Fontainen and etc. A great collection of Lambics of all sorts. I was really surprised in the last months when I’ve been seeing even some Struises around. Besides the Belgian stuff, you will find also some German Classics like Weihenstephaner, Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr. The collection of British Ales is also great: Fuller’s (not only the basic stuff but also the good ones like, London Porter, Vintage Ale, Golden Ale, 1845 and etc), Meantime, Ola Dubh, Samuel Smith’s, Greene King, Wells & Young’s, Belhaven. Recently, they’ve been receiving a couple of different BrewDogs. Americans and Canadians can also be found: Good stuff as Unibroue and Sierra Nevada. If you are looking for the best Swiss beers, this is also the place: Pretty much all good breweries are there: BFM (Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien, Saison, etc), Trois Dames, Bad Attitude and etc. It’s a bit pricey but the staff is really nice and the collection awesome. I really recommend it!

Great place, nice friendly tenant. The place, though it’s located in a somewhat impersonal area of Crissier, has been made into something cosy and nice-looking.

big choices and quality

Visited July 2013 with my uncle, store located in a shopping plaza area. Sadly the store located in Moudon is closed which makes it a small 35 kms trip to reach this one. Had previously gotten in touch with Anthony about ordering BFM, Trois Dames beers, Ticinese, etc. Good service, fair prices given that is is Switzerland. Plenty of Belgian beers which is good to see in Switzerland but nothing for me in that range. Swiss beers are plentiful which is nice, and a definite change to the Swiss craft beer scene that has been booming in recent years and is reflected in the variety of beers available. Overall, a nice store, friendly staff.

It’s my usual joint for beers when in Lausanne; unfortunately to reach out here you need a car, or bus #18 gets quite close. Warehouse style shop, with a large selection, some good Belgian beer (e.g. Rochefort, Cantillon), a few Swiss micros (BFM, Trois Dames, Père Jakob…); it has larger selection than Mise en Bière, but some prices seem quite high; they also have a large selection of other spirits such as whiskeys and rums.

Very good beers shop, nice seller and very good ambiance

Nice shop with more than 300 beers. Fifteen regional breweries. They organize a celebration of craft beer once a year. A new local brewery every month ...

Offering more than 300 beers (some differences between the different locations). This shop can be found in Neuchâtel, Moiry, Crissier, Courrendlin and Moudon. Possibility to order online if you are living on the french part of the country.
