    Hey everyone.

    Can anyone recommend a good off licence that stocks a decent range of European beers? I'm looking to pick up a few bottles of the Belgian beer Duvel in particular.

    Any info would be great. Thanks.

    Always find O Brien's to be pretty decent. Helpful staff and do some decent offers also.

    Not sure if they stock Duvel but I would imagine they would as it is a popular enough beer.

    McCambridges on Shop Street have a decent range too.

    Unfortunately Tesco stopped stocking Duvel (used to be €2; great bargain).

    O Brien's does have Duvel but their selection could be expanded. Joyces in Knocknacarra recently redid their beer fridge and stocks Duvel. McCambridges should have it and also stocks a few harder to find belgians such as Chimay Triple/Reserve (white/blue respectively).

    Anyone know who took over Harvest near the firestation? I wonder what their selection is like.

    Cheers for the replies, will be making a few purchases tonight. Get sick of drinking Heineken sometimes.

    Fine Wines. Their selection is okay, have the usual suspects in terms of the European beers but not as good a selection as Harvest used to have.
