I am making a study on special Belgian beers in europe.
The following questions can help me with this question

Well, IMHO you shpould look a little bit deeper into it first, and
realise that countries such as the Uk, France, Switzerland, Italy, the
Netherlands, even Scandinavia are already pretty much saturated with
belgians special beers already, ie. in those countries, beer enthusiasts
can already buy pretty much all the yould want in terms of Uk beers


- would you be interested in belgian beer ?

Question is badly formulated : I am, have been for years.

- Which brand would you like to buy ?

Again, badly formulated a question : there's probably something on the
lines of 150-200 different belgian beers currently available on the
Swiss market if you know where to look for them. And it's been the case
for 25 years or so. We even get beers that are reportedly hard to get
hold of outside the immediate vincinity of the brewery...
Besides, trying to pick ONE brand over the whole Belgian beer scene is
IMHO plain silly. What makes it all interesting is its diversity !

- What is the price you expect to pay for that ?

Standard price in a swiss specialist chop is CHF 3.50 to 4.00 swiss
francs for a 33cl bottle of Duvel or Chimay, and CHF 7.50 to 8.50 for a
75cl of the same. Rarer beers command a higher price, of course.

if you only now answer 1 or 2 questions no prob send them ...

BTW You might be better off posting this on specific european NGs such
as uk.food+drink.real-ale, it.hobby birra, z-net.alt.bier,
fr.rec.boissons.bieres...

Cheers !
