[Closed] French Beer in France

Where in Belgium and France are you going? What sort of beer do you like? There's a lot of options.

I like a mix of things. Larger, ale, IPA, APA etc. I am travelling to Calais, Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent and back to Calais.

any decent sized Delhaize supermarket in Belgium will have enough decent beer in it to sink (or float) a battleship; its where I go whenever we're over there

Your planning a trip to belgium and your plan is to bring back cheap beer?

That's like going to Islay and seeing if the local Tesco has Bells cheap!

I read it and didn’t rely because I thought the same as you so assumed I must be reading it incorrectly.

A long time ago my wife and I had an argument in Calais along those lines. I was filling the trolley with unusual local beers and she put in 4 bottles of Peroni. I still think my anger was justified. 😁

My OH took me to Bruge for my 30th. Probably didn't sample even 1% of the local beers, but gave it a damn good try!

Yep I tried to sample 1% of Bruge's local beers once .... add to that a dodgy muscle in a moules mariniere and I had stomach that blew up to look like I'd eaten a space hopper whole... That was a very uncomfortable night... never wanted a fart or burp soooo badly.

Sorry

Good luck with the beer search

I'd be interested to know if you can get it cheaper than here

I'm on about 8% of Belgian but I worked in Antwerp for nigh on 4 years. Most of that 8% was the Pakhuis microbrewery, repeatedly.

You definitely can. I am a Belgian living in france and stock up  the normal grimbergen leffe hoegaarden at les then 2 eur a litre, regularly promotions at 1.75 or even 1.50. And France is more expensive then Belgium.

a belgian site letting you now which shop has offers on  http://www.bierpromoties.be/

So the tip is to buy in Belgium?

Belgium: cheaper,  better & more options...

any supermarket will do but a drinks discounter is the better option.  prik&tik is one of the better known chains.

this is our local one
