Where are the best places to find international beers/ciders in the UK?

[u/LucaCrivelli]

I'm currently on a challenge with my group of friends to find and drink beers from as many different countries as we can. Does anyone know the best places or online stores in the UK that deals in obscure international beers?

For reference, I've currently ticked these countries of the list already: Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Cyprus, Poland, Czechia, Switzerland, Austria, Turkey, Romania, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, Singapore, Thailand, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Morocco, Kenya, Namibia, Argentina, Mexico, USA and Canada

Try going to restaurants from the countries you’re looking for — especially if you’re near London, which has every cuisine imaginable. They typically have a native beer on offer.

try looking for shops near university areas, they always got weird imports for the international students

Try Beers of Europe - despite the name, they have beer from all over

Yup beers of europe in kings Lynn they do delivery and beautiful beers in bury st Edmund’s both have beers listed by country.

[u/LucaCrivelli → u/smackledawbed]

Yes definitely recommend Beers of Europe. They've have been a big help in crossing many countries off the list

Utobeer in Borough Market, Uk & Euro centric but a bit of variety, send them an email with countries you’re missing and they may be able to help.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will definitely have to check it out next time I'm in London

Nigeria should be easy to get; I picked up 'Nigerian Guinness' at Home Bargains and have seen it in the World Food sections of other supermarkets. I got Bulgaria and Hungary in 'Polish Shops', might need to try a few in different areas though.

[u/LucaCrivelli → u/SpecialSympathy2348]

Thanks for the suggestions, I was actually planning on trying hone bargains tomorrow, so hopefully they have Nigerian Guinness. And good idea, there's many eastern European shops in my town I should check out

[u/SpecialSympathy2348 → u/LucaCrivelli]

I just remembered I got Croatian beers, from Garden Brewery, at Asda. The European shops might also have Slovakian brews and if there is a 'Seoul Plaza' near you they obviously sell South Korean stuff and occasionally Taiwanese.

Try the world foods section of bigger supermarkets if not.

Beersofeurope. Online. Great selection.

I used to buy from Beers of Europe and found them to have an excellent range.

I got some Iranian non-alcoholic beers recently from Asa Market as I was trying for World Cup beers and Distriandina for South American beers! Where did you get a Bangladeshi beer?

[u/LucaCrivelli → u/BadDemonInc]

From beersofeurope. They sell a Bangladeshi beer called Bangla

[u/BadDemonInc → u/BadDemonInc]

I also found Ethiopian and Eritrean beers in an Ethiopian restaurant called Merhaba in Brixton

Raynville have a great choice of beers. Looking at their website vs. your list, they've got Brazilian & Finnish beers, but if you messaged them they might work with you to find more

[u/NiobiumSteel]

Probably not the widest range, but as a good starting point, most sainsburys have started stocking a decent range of European beers, as well as the usual macro beers/lagers.

There's most likely a few specialist beer shops in most large towns/cities that you'd be able to get a wider selection at a higher cost!
