The beer bin !
on this page, I would like to collect all the places where you can drink a fine belgian beer. It starts as a small list, but I hope it will grow to an enourmous list where you can browse at your ease for some nice Yee Old Beer Shoppes !
These adresses are sent in by the listeners and with any luck, it's close to your own doorstep :
. Washington DC : The Brickskeller
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brickskeller
Over 1000 beers available, including a good selection of Belgian brews.
. Cooperstown New York : Brewery Ommegang
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewery_Ommegang
Also, Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York has been brewing
Belgian-style ales since 1997. Ommegang was purchased by Duvel in 2003.
. Massachusetts : the British Beer Company
http://www.britishbeer.com
a group of seven restaurants south of Boston, Massachusetts. All
of their locations have a decent variety of beers, one has a very
extensive beer list including Chimay Triple on tap and a few more
Belgian brews in bottles.
. Bristol, Tennessee : Inari Wines
http://www.inariwines.com
wine shop is Inari Wines. They carry the following Belgian beers. I know that some people drive a couple hundred miles to stock up here. Any of you listeners in this area that don't already know about this place would love to find it I am sure. They also will special order other beers but this is what they stock.
Lindeman Lambics
Chimay
Duchesse de Bourgogne
Stella Artois
Brasserie des Rocs

Nostradamus
Val Dieu

. Stockholm, Sweden : Belgobaren
http://www.belgobaren.be
Should you ever find that you're in Stockholm,
Sweden, and have a craving for Belgian beer and/or a bite to eat, check
out Belgobaren. The site is in Swedish only, I'm afraid,
but the beer list http://www.belgobaren.se/ollista.html doesn't need any
translation. It doesn't cover every beer they serve (about 250 brands),
but gives you a fair idea about what you can have. And yes, Corsendonk is
listed.
. The Belgian Beer Cafes, Sydney, Australia
http://www.belgian-beer-cafe.com.au
Epoque and Heritage were designed by the trendsetting Belgium-based design firm, Creneau. It is a place of glowing mahogany-stained solid oak, engraved bar stools, bevelled mirrors, vintage beer posters and etched glass.
. Belgian Beer Paradise, Rio de Janeiro
there is one called Belgian Beer Paradise in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil - there is also another one in São Paulo, but I've never
beer (sorry for the pun but I couldn't help it) there.
http://www.beerparadise.com.br/index.asp (this is the main page)
http://www.beerparadise.com.br/lojas.asp (this page has the address of the

The website is only in portuguese but if you browse through it, you'll
find out that there is a respectable selection of beers.
