I've ordered from Biershop Bamberg, and will be ordering with the Cracked Kettle soon. The last two specialise in Franconian beers, with the latter one, which I have not tried yet, looking like it has a broader selection than Biershop bamberg. Har dto know what to order, so I had ordered a mixed crate of 24, so I can at least make some recommendations now <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

I also met a chap yesterday who runs an Australian shop close by. His kid is in the same kindergarten as my son. Anyway, he sells Aussie beer, but said he'll give me the list from the importer he uses in Hamberg. I can't bloody wait!

any real ale websites ship to ireland

Um... I know it seems obvious, but should we not put these excellent link on, well, the links page? <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

A couple of them (well, one!) are. I didn't realise anyone even looked there anymore! <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

People can feel free to add links to the links page any time. Experiences with ordering from particular suppliers can be discussed on the forum though.

Meh, I started doing an order on Cracked Kettle (Amsterdam), but for just 12 bottles of beer, which would cost €26.50 (2 each of the Flying Dog beers they have) the delivery, to Germany I might add, so it's not exactly on a boat or plane, comes to €23.80. Ouch! <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

For 36 bottles (€79.50) it comes to €37.37. A bit better, but bloody hell! It also looks like the two Belgian shops use the same delivery services (TNT and KiloPost), so shop local!

That Hamburg importer better have a good selection... So much for my beer club idea in work!

SamSwine.com? Sounds dodgy <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->
