Orval: difficult to obtain in Dublin?

Louche Lad

I don't want to know where you can get Orval. I just want to give someone in Dublin a present of something they might not usually be able to get there.

Now, I'm in a bar in England where they sell Orval, which I was assured by a Belgian friend was very difficult to get hold of. Is Orval something that people would struggle to get hold of in Dublin, or is it actually available everywhere?

With regards to rarity, its definitely not everywhere, but not hard to get at all if you want it and know where to look.

Drinkstore, for example, has it, the chalice, and the gift set (4 bottles & 2 chalices).
They're in Stoneybatter and deliver nationwide aswell.

I was always disappointed that it didn't appear in more craft beer bars in Dublin. Not sure if that has improved recently or not.
