There are other great warehouse beer outlets in Belgium, but this one you can get to by streetcar. The others you all need a car, car. Much cheaper than the beer shops in central Brussels, you also get to hang in Ghent, which is the best city in Belgium (more casual and more enchanting than Brussels, but not overrun by tourists like Bruges). I looked up their selection before going to pick out what to get. This visit, I stayed at an Airbnb right across the canal from de Hopduvel, had a couple days of tourism, and then loaded up the bags with loot from de Hopduvel (at top in picture). The streetcar then takes you right to the train station.

It's a stockist of many many hundreds of beers, most of them Belgian, and beer-related goods such as glasses from dozens of different manufacturers, beer-making equipment and a few bits of memorabilia. The prices are excellent- just round the corner in the tourist heart of Ghent you could be paying up to 10 Euros for some of the more special lambics and gueuzes, yet in here most of the bottles are under 3 Euros each, many under 2 Euros. An absolute bargain. We took home as much as we could possibly carry. It's open to the public, they don't seem fussy about wholesale though there is a separate wholesale section. Beware the opening times though- they do close down for lunch every day, which I think is between 12.30 and 1.30. It feels a bit like a cheap supermarket, with cardboard boxes piled up from the floor, and some hand-written label notes. There is a small section of soft drinks, which is mainly bottled water. There's no guidance about 'best' beers or any real promotion of one beer above another- if you don't know much about Belgian beers you might want to read up on it first to make sure you don't buy the wrong ones... It's a minefield out there, with some absolutely amazing drinks, but a few not so good ones. I wish this shop was within walking distance of my house. If it were, I would be so drunk and happy I wouldn't be able to type.

Huge selection of Abbeys, Trappists, Belgian "Brewery" Beers (e.g. Chouffe, De Struise, De Dochter van de Korenaar, Dupont), and Spontaneously Fermented Ales (including Cantillon, 3 Fonteinen, Oud Beersel, etc.) are all available at prices almost comparable to what they are at the respective breweries, and if you're lucky sometimes you'll run into some selections that are currently no longer available at the breweries as well (don't forget to ask the guy behind the counter) They also have a limited selection of imported beer (BrewDog, Mikkeller, DeMolen, and Boulevard among the usual suspects) and some glassware if you're a collector; I'm assuming this wouldn't apply to most people reading this review in English, but you can also get your "deposit" back if you bring back empty bottles while shopping here. Friendly and helpful service, just wish it wasn't a pain to get to without a car.
