I'm going on a booze-run to Calais. As well as stupendous amounts of wine I was hoping to pick up a nice little selection of Belgian beers.
The problem is that the supermarket selections tend to be pretty limited. Does anyone know of a specialist shop nearby?
If you have the time, your best bet is to drive over to Belgium. The nearest place is just across the border with France, off the E42/A25. Noel Cuvelier, Abelestationsplein 30. 8970. Poperinge. Belgium. Tel:
0032 5733 3305. Not sure of the opening times, but they are closed every lunchtime from around 1.00 pm until 2.00 pm, best to give them a call.
the A25 to exit 13 and head towards Poperinge, Noel's is on the left hand side, soon after you cross the border into Belgium. It is a group of farm buildings set back 100 metres from the road. Take it slow, the track leading to the buildings is before the sign for the place, and is easily overshot when approaching from France. They carry about 250-300 beers, so you should be able to find something.
minutes, well worth the trip.
