If you’re passionate about exploring new brews, experimenting with global flavors, and finding the most elusive craft beers that can’t be found in your local shop, then Beers of Europe is like the proverbial candy store for beer lovers. As Stamps Bar, our mission is simple: bring the finest brews from all corners of the world to our loyal patrons.

When we first came across Beers of Europe, I have to admit that I wasn’t sure what to expect. The name sounded enticing, but could it really live up to its grand claim of being Europe’s largest beer shop?

Spoiler alert: it absolutely did.

First Impressions

The first thing you’ll notice when you pull up the Beers of Europe website is the sheer volume of beers available. They boast an inventory of over 1,700 beers (from more than 60 countries), a dizzying array of choices that had me intrigued from the start.

It’s not just the quantity that impresses, though. Each beer has been meticulously sourced, and the curation shows a deep understanding and respect for brewing cultures around the globe.

As a small pub that likes to rotate a unique range of beers on tap regularly, this selection is a gold mine. There’s always something new to try, and for the type of clientele we attract—adventurous, beer-savvy folks—being able to offer an evolving menu of beers is crucial.

The ability to access Belgian lambics, German kellerbiers, rare American IPAs, or Japanese lagers without even leaving the country is an absolute game changer.

Navigating the Vast Sea of Beers

Let’s talk about some of the sorties I made into the selection at Beers of Europe. I’d like to break it down by country, sharing some standout examples that have gone from my online cart to our bar’s taps, and into the hands of many delighted customers.

Belgium:

Belgium was my first target. Known for their mastery of brewing, particularly when it comes to Trappist ales, lambics, and saisons, the Belgians have always held a special place in my heart—and on our menu.

Rochefort 10 was the first beer I ordered from the Belgian section. Brewed by Trappist monks in the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy, this quad is a rich, dark, and complex beer that delivers layer after layer of flavor. Our regulars often rave about big, bold beers, so when I got the Rochefort 10, I knew I had to introduce it to the bar. The initial reactions were pure delight. It’s heavy and warming, with notes of dark fruit, caramel, and a bit of spice. The lingering bitterness on the finish kept people coming back for more.

Another Belgian gem we picked up was Lindemans Kriek, a classic cherry lambic. This one was perfect for the summer, with its vibrant red color and fruity, tart flavor profile. Lindemans Kriek is a beer that can convert non-beer drinkers, thanks to its sweet-tart character, and it provided us with the perfect alternative to our heavier beers during the warmer months. People at Stamps Bar often reach for something that pairs well with food or as a standalone treat, and this lambic hit the mark.

Germany:

Moving on to Germany, where you can find some of the finest lagers, weissbiers, and bocks the world has ever known. I’m a sucker for a good German pilsner, and one of my favorites that I’ve sourced from Beers of Europe has to be the Jever Pilsener. It’s an authentic, dry pils that’s sharp and refreshing with a great hop bite. It went down an absolute storm with our customers—perfect for casual sipping or pairing with food. I even hosted a mini German beer night where we paired this beauty with sausages and pretzels, and it became a crowd favorite in no time.

In addition to the Jever Pilsener, Schneider Weisse Original was another German gem that quickly earned its place on our taps. This beer is a hefeweizen, which means it’s packed with banana and clove aromas, a creamy mouthfeel, and a refreshing finish. We added this one during a week where we were highlighting wheat beers, and it didn’t disappoint. Its unfiltered, hazy appearance and rich, bready character made it a hit with the wheat beer aficionados who frequent Stamps Bar.

United Kingdom:

Lastly, let’s touch on our homegrown British beer selections. At Stamps Bar, we pride ourselves on keeping a strong British presence on our menu, but it’s always nice to add something new to the mix.

One standout was Thornbridge Jaipur, a brilliant British IPA that leans heavily into the citrus and tropical fruit spectrum. Jaipur delivers a smooth mouthfeel and a well-rounded bitterness that makes it a pleasure to drink pint after pint. I introduced this beer during a summer beer festival we held, and it was one of the first kegs to kick. People loved the balance and brightness of this beer—it’s truly one of the crown jewels of British brewing.

Another great find from the UK section was Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout. It’s a classic British stout with a velvety texture and deep roasted flavors, including hints of chocolate and coffee. When the weather turned cooler, this beer flew off the shelves at our bar. There’s something comforting about this stout—it’s rich without being overpowering, and it quickly became a staple in our winter lineup.

Conclusion:

Beers of Europe has proven to be an indispensable partner for Stamps, offering an unparalleled selection of beers from around the globe that we can proudly serve to our patrons.

The variety is exceptional, and the quality of every beer we’ve tried has met, and often exceeded, our expectations. For any bar, pub, or restaurant looking to elevate their beer offerings, or for any individual simply wanting to explore the vast and exciting world of beer, I can’t recommend Beers of Europe enough. It’s been an adventure with every order, and I can’t wait to see what new gems I’ll discover next!
