Don't think any of the B&M's sell beer or alcohol that I've noticed - you mean the B&M bargains chains or somewhere else?  Most Tescos have a half decent selection these days.  But if you can get over, your best bet is to get to the vineyard on the ormeau road, laverys on shaftesbury square or the lighthouse in whiteabbey.

Hi Greg,

I was in the B&M near the Royal Avenue/Castlecourt area last week but saw nothing resembling craft beer in there.

On the plus side you can probably get a pack of 60 KitKats for 18p :)

The Tesco Metro beside Castlecourt/Primark does a limited selection of craft beers. Things like Sierra Nevada, though they always seem to be sold out of the stuff when I go there :(

Vineyard on the Ormeau Road, or Sainsburys in Forestside, or any of the larger Tesco's are your best bet for craft beers.


Can't help you with West Belfast, I'm afraid.

Cheers,

-Barry

Yes the B&M bargain chains is what i meant, i know the UK ones sell beer but not sure of the one in Belfast. I am heading up again in a couple weeks so hoping to get at least one half decent craft beer place nearby. Thanks for the tips anyway if i don't get to them this trip i will try down the road. ;D

Home Bargains in Larne sells craft beer but it's a fair oul hike from the Mecca of West Belfast.

Sorted, so all you need to do is say the following word over and over:

'Vineyard'

-Barry

P.s. Bring plenty of UK pounds.
