Craft & international beers - where to buy them?

Pen Rua

I’d like to try find a shop with a good selection of craft and international beers (not bars - though Caribou or Bierhaus are a good choice!).

Dunnes and Fine Wines tend to have some stock, with Joyces and McCambridge’s being a bit better.

Is there anywhere else worth looking?

O'Briens on the headford road, Super Valu barna have a good stock of craft...

O'Briens also deliver if you're getting 50 quid worth. Check out their website to see what they have.

Order over €60 is free delivery.

Order under €60 has a €4.99 delivery fee.

O'Briens are excellent. Joyce's has massively upped their game too and is almost as good now.

Some Supervalues are great too

I forgot about O’Briens - don’t usually head out towards that shopping centre - I’ll have a look.

No SuperValus in the city anymore... But Joyce’s tend to have a decent selection tbf

Joyce's were always only decent but in the last week they've gone all in, Fourpure, Wylam, Lervig, Stone to name but a few of the breweries. Great to see.

Mccambridges would stock a good variety

Actually I noticed Joyce's started to carry Westmalle which is an incredible trappist beer every beer lover should try. Also really fond on the Mescan range particularly the saison.

I used to call in to McCambridges more often but I think their selection has gone a bit downhill actually while Joyce's has gone up.

Still, O'Brien's is the best bet (in person or online). When you're really stuck for something unique (gift, etc) I have used www.drinkstore.ie a few times as well.

Joyces had Westmalle and Rochefort not so long ago. McCambridge's had Orval (first time I've seen it outside a bar). And O'Brien's had Delirium and Duvel when I checked yesterday. (I did an Erasmus semester in Belgium... a little attached to Belgian beers!)

O'Briens have the Straffe Hendrik quad too.
