There's a lot of brewing going on, but I'm not sure how much of it comes over here. I think I've had a Red Hand beer, because I vaguely remember singing Nick Cave's Red Right Hand whilst drinking one. Other than that, everything here is new to me:

Great website and company. Use them all the time. They don't just cover Europe either. You can get a beer from virtually anywhere from them. Don't go for the stuff that you can get in supermarkets (Leffe, Duvel, Frulli etc) that's the country's equivalent to Carling, Stella, Fosters and all the other mass produced blandness. Have a look at what these lot offer.

Yeah I've ordered a few from them but they don't have Albania, Switzerland, Northern Ireland or (outside of that box) Slovakia.
Thanks - I'd seen it on there and another site but was a bit reluctant to pay £7 delivery on one beer, but I've just noticed they've got a Northern Irish brewery on there to so will go for it I think!
I'm not sure I've tried that particular Swiss one. When I go over for work I always try a local beer. I don't like Weiss beer though so normally go for an amber or a Pilsner.
I don't have any trips planned over the next month but if any crop up I'll pick something up and post it if you want. May have to go for a job interview.

Kind offer mate, thank you.
However, I've just ordered that one as they had the NI brewery and an interesting German selection.
So I'm up to 22 either in or on the way:
Albania - Austria - Schremser Roggen Bio Bier Belgium - St Bernardus 12 Croatia - Zmajska Pivovara Porter Czech Republic - Pivovar Herold Black Lager England - Wychwood Ruby Rooster France - Kronenbourg 1664 Germany - Hacker Pschorr Anno 1417 Munich Keller Bier Hungary - Rothbeer Pyromania Iceland - Einstok Toasted Porter Italy - Birra Moretti Northern Ireland - Boundary American Pale Ale Poland - Tyskie Portugal - Sagres Republic of Ireland - Guinness Original Romania - Ursus Blonde Russia - Baltika 7 Slovakia - Spain - Alhambra-Reserva Sweden - Brutal Brewing Pistonhead Kustom Lager Switzerland - 1936 Biere Turkey - Efes Draft Ukraine - Obolon lager Wales - Brains SA Gold

I'm trying to source the difficult ones first!!
could solve a few difficult ones.
Going to try this as well, ordered from Beers of Europe and Slovakia is now sold out but they replaced it with a swedish beer.

The Swedish one came in between my email and his reply so I got lucky there!
Switzerland there does aopear to be '1936 Biere' but it seems to be hard to find - so far I've only found a £40 box of 12.
Albania is going to be very tricky I think!
Failing that, just drink spirits to represent all 24 countries!
I drew Switzerland and Northern Ireland.
I am starting to think it will be a very difficult challenge.

Albania and Slovakia the elusive ones.
Might be able to find it in a Eastern European shop over here too, with a bit of luck.
I had a Zlaty Bazant (Golden Pheasant) on order from Beers of Europe, but they ran out unfortunately!
