76 Ordered on Sunday and delivered on Tuesday so essentially next-day delivery which is impressive considering that this was essentially an International order. The website is pretty good in terms of navigation, there were a couple of minor quibbles, but all told it worked quite well. There is a very large and very good range of beers, many of these are familiar but that was part of the reason for me nipping on there, it is great to get favourites such as the likes of Orval, De Dolle Boskeun, Duvel Tripel Hop at superb prices. However be aware that there aren't going to be that many lesser-seen US, Scandinavian or UK cans/bottles like some of their more specialist Dutch competitors but these guys probably take some beating in the huge range of Dutch and Belgian beers and they did have some less seen Dutch or Belgian beers.
Packaging was quite good, in fact I had two boxes one of which was huge with bottles pretty well protected, the box was the standard compartmentalized style and bottles were bubble wrapped, though only loosely, no sellotape but plenty of wrap. However, because the compartments could also hold bigger bottles the cans seem to be rather more haphazardly added with cans on top of cans and no protection between each can. Furthermore, the Burnt Mill cans that I got were frustratingly just past the BBE date (earlier this month I think date was?) and this was not indicated or allowed for a reduction on the site, also I have 14 De Dolle Boskeun and a single Het Uiltje beer to follow next week when they are back in stock, though to be fair they were quick in emailing me to make me aware and offered me the option of a refund or to wait, In fact, emailing and responses have been very quick. So all in all pretty good, ok it could be better but I guess that these guys are a big, big outfit and are churning out lots and lots of orders, *Please note that they are a drinks place and NOT just beer, they do wine, spirits, lots and lots of stuff, beer is just a part of this enterprise. So I guess that attention to detail seen with smaller more specialist sites isn't going to be seen to such a degree here, that said I will definitely go back to them especially when wanting to order some old favourites. |
82 Inmiddels een aantal keren besteld via de webshop. Mooie duidelijk website met verrassend grote sortering aan bier en andere dranken. Prijzen zijn ok en afhandeling van de bestelde producten verloopt netjes en snel in een degelijke verpakking. Men reageert tevens correct en snel via de website op vragen of opmerkingen. Ik kan deze shop een ieder aanbevelen en ga hier zeker vaker bestellen. |
76 The webshop has a good choice of the Dutch and Belgian beers, also some English and German brands (from the States only Spencer). Good prices. Very quick delivery, solid packing. |
84 Visited once again in person, now at their new address: It's one of the largest, if not the largest beer store I've ever been to. They have an unbelievably large assortment of beers from mainly the Netherlands and Belgium, now also with many locals, usually stocking the core range beers but also some one-offs and seasonals. A decent international selection of American and European craft beer is available as well. Apart from that, their selection of spirits, especially whisky, is massive. The interior looks very clean, the shelves are very orderly. All in all a must-visit if in Vlissingen.
Visited the shop now in person: Medium-sized to large bottle shop in the outskirts of Vlissingen. Selection seems to be the same as for the webshop: lots of Dutch and Belgian stuff, focus also on Denmark with Mikkeller and To Øl massively represented, some US beers as well. High quality for overall very good prices. The only thing missing are the locals: only a handful of beers from Kees!, not much else (is Scheldebrouwerij considered to be local?). The staff let me browse through on my own but was also helpful when asked. Apart from the beers, they have a huge selections of whiskys and other alcoholic beverages as well. Not only worth a visit when in town!
Rating for the webshop: I ordered about 15 beers and 10 glasses from the web shop. I ordered in the afternoon on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday. That’s really fast considering it had to traverse the German border. However, two glasses were broken and one was not the correct one. That can happen. I wrote them a mail which was answered in an hour. They sent the three glasses again and I could keep the wrong glass. So all in all really great service. The prices are quite good. Would always order again. |
76 Webshop with a good selection of craft beer, including nice Dutch, Scandinavian and Belgian stuff. Good prices, especially when you order with a ’no shiping cost action. which I did. Quick delivery, solid packing. |
84 Actually went to the shop in person. Though unbelievably embedded, a dazzling choice, challenging all but the very best in Belgium awaits the beercustomer - as the aficionado of whisky, wine,.. Zeeland is catching up with giant steps, and this epithomizes it. Very friendly and helpful service - including somebody ordered to help me carry the booty to the car - which BTW had amply parking space, which constitutes another small miracle on the isles... Getting there was relatively easy, even without satnav help. Find rare American, British bottles and some Dutch specialities. Not to mention an Estonian brewery I never heard of, and whose name I won’t even try to write down by heart, let alone pronounce !! And of course, nobody will prevent you from visiting the website, and either ordering via mail, or, as I did, make a wishlist to carry along. Prices are quite reasonable, which spoils nothing! |
82 Found this webshop when i was looking for a whisky bottle, delivered the day after my order. Great packing.vand a big selection of spirits |
70 Found this webshop by accident when I was looking to buy a Curaçao tick for a trade. Surprisingly they had some US beers I didn’t know yet and some other crappy ticks. User friendly website, decent prices and quite quickly delivered. Worth a look at least. |
84 Updated rating: Visited the actual store in Vlissingen. Huge (huuuuge) liquor store selling all sort of booze, with an enormous beer selection (3000+ bottles/cans). Classics, lots of Belgian and Dutch breweries, modern canned stuff, big bottles, you name it. I could live here if needed.
10APR2015: Stumbled upon this site because of a whisky offer, but had to check their beer selection as well of course. Site is relatively easy to navigate, ordering and shipping went really fast, had my box the next day. Beers were loosely packaged, but couldn’t go anywhere but their slot in the shipper. Selection isn’t huge, but managed to find some nice US beers I hadn’t had yet. Shipping costs are standard Dutch fare (€6,95). |
66 Online order. This shop is not really specialized in beer and for the most part offering the usual stuff from Belgium and the Netherlands, but they do have some less common American brews here, as well as a few other beers I hadn’t tasted yet, so I will keep an eye on it every now and then to see if their range is being expanded further. Delivery was quick, prices very reasonable and communication went smooth, can’t complain; the freight cost is a fixed amount for Belgium and the Netherlands, cheaper than normal, which is also a plus. The box seemed more fit to ship big (wine and liquor) bottles, there was less protection than with other online shops I placed orders from, there was no ’breakable’ sign or indication of the top side of the carton, but still everything arrived in good condition. Interesting to check out for any ’gaps’ in your ratings, I suppose. |
