Great selection, but over the last couple of years the prices have reached unbelievable levels. It might be a good place to find a rare beer or glass, but otherwise it is really a rip off. The staff are usually helpful and friendly, but often it is too crowded to get in and out of the shop without difficulty. They had a trappist collection six pack that cost and unbelievable 36 euros, I think around 3X too expensive.

This should be the first port of call for the beer visitor to Brussels. Even if you aren't buying, it's great to just browse the shelves and get a feel for what's on offer, read the labels, look at the stemware, etc. The emphasis, of course, is on Belgian beers.

If making a purchase I'd recommend going for the merchandise, the gift packs and the real rarities (Westvleteren is usually in stock). For commoner beers -- your Rocheforts, your Deus and the like -- you'd be much better off going to a convenience store or supermarket, one of which you'll find near the bottom of the street.
