Albanian beer, wine etc.

Jan 08, 2005 2 Replies

I'm planning an evening soon where all the food and drink is going to be from Albania. I've found quite a few recipes (and the food overlaps with other countries' anyway) but finding sources of Albanian beer or wine in the UK is proving a little more difficult.



I was wondering is anyone knew of any Albanian alcholic beverages available in the UK. It'd be nice if it was beer or wine rather than some fruit brandy or something really strong that you can't drink all night (well, I can't - although I'm sure the residents of Tirane are made of tougher stuff!)


I would also be interested in Albanian beer - what's it like and does anyone have a homebrew recipe ? Regards Ale Fan

I haven't tasted any but I'll let you know if I find anything. Albania produces lots of wine. It's just finding a UK importer that's the problem.

A local pub known for its European beers said that it might have some Albanian brandy, but I don't want to drink brandy all night.
