I'm wondering where people think the best place to buy Belgian beers in DC is. I'm thinking Chevy Chase Liquors beats almost everyone on selection, but is there anywhere else that might have slightly fewer beers but better prices?

Last time I bought Chimay there (about 6 months ago) its was quite cheap. something like $6.99 - $8.99 for the large bottles (they had all 3labels). Don't know about the other Belgian beer prices/selection. You might also want to check Rodman's.

Not to mention a nice selection of English ales, German and Czech lagers and American micros. They have a knowledgable "beer guy" on staff. Price is comparable to what other posters have mentioned.

The Rochefort 10, 8, and 6 are also almost always in stock. The usual Chimay, Duvel, Orval are also avaiable. In DC proper Rodman's on Wisconsim Ave used to have a good selection at good prices but I have not been in years. Mon Oct 20 15:34:32 -0700 2003 903009 0 Jeff C
