A bit of a strange request this.

I'm off to a friends in Cambridgeshire next weekend and i'm wanting to take some quality Belgian and Eastern European drink with me. Obviously places like Asda sell the usual stuff like Leffe and Tyskie, but i'm after stuff like Westmalle and big bottles of Duvel.

Does anyone know of an outlet or store anywhere in the North West that specialises in the less mainstream beers? I've heard theres a place in Altrincham but I gather this is a bar only?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks

Booths supermarket in knutsford has hundreds of speciality beers. I think most are real ales but there are probably a fair few European ones too. There are a few booths around in the north, best take a look at their website.

Cheers fella. I'll have a look in our local store at weekend. It's only a small one though.

If you're near Manchester, try Carringtons in Chorlton or Didsbury. They've always got a good mix of European beers in.

What he said. Whenever I walk in now he just goes and gets a big box drink
