Wed Mar 02 11:58:42 -0800 2005 0 Meb 1 1430706 A couple of ideas, all Brooklyn based Eagle Provisions has a large, esoteric selection (5th ave and 20th). I've purhcased beer from Kenya there. Bierkraft has a large, EXPENSIVE selection, mostly impressively domestic. Thrify Beverage on Court may have some selections dusty and in the back. There's a place in Astoria people like, I've never been. Call the last two and ask before going. Good luck, Anu Thu Mar 03 11:25:01 -0800 2005 1430686 0 anu 2 1430744 Thanks for all the suggestions! I went to Eagle Provisions in Brooklyn and was absolutely amazed by the selection. That's my new place for beer. I wound up getting Tusker beer from Kenya, which was one of two African beers that they carry. Given that I was aiming for Zambian beer, which seems very difficult to find, I was happy to find Tusker (which is a light beer and goes well with spicy food).

If not, they'll probably be able to point you in the right direction.

You might try posting on beeradvocate.com or ratebeer.com. Both have many knowledgeable members. You'll have to register (free) to post. Fri Mar 04 12:24:15 -0800 2005 1430711 0 Jim Dorsch
