Anyway, I noticed it yesterday, and realised that they sell all manner of drinks. I was interested in whether they might sell English real ales, so I went in to investigate. The answer, sadly, is no they don't, but they do sell Augustiner in crates! Hurrah! They also have a very extensive range of spirits and soft drinks. The best thing though is that they deliver!

As a non-smoker I only ever visit Duske & Duske to get my fix of English-language magazines, but…read moretheir selection is surprisingly large (for automotive titles, that is) and the service is impeccable, in an understated, Hanseatic fashion. I think it's also much more charming than getting the mags at the train station anyway. Once I bought some cigars as a present for a friend, who told me they were top notch quality - they better be, for Duske & Duske's range isn't exactly cheap, but the helpful and competent assistance was a great bonus, particularly as I had no clue what I should buy.
