My coworker in going to Belgium and he offered to bring me few cases of
beer on his way back. The problem is, I cannot find any sites with current
prices of beers in Belgium to figure out if I would actually save any money
with this or not. Could someone help me with this?

I guess my main interest would be on the trappists (Chimay, Orval etc.),
but prices for 'regular' beers, like Stella would be interesting, too.

Please, can you advice your coworker not to enter any 'touristic' beershops
here in Belgium.
Touristic beershops are mainly situated in touristic Belgian cities and are
using extremely high prices !!
Good prices for fresh Trappist beers are located at for example supermarket
Delhaize.
If he could attend this supermarket, he'll get an honest cheap price.
Approx.1 ? is reasonable for a Trappist beer.

It's around ? 0.39 for 25cl Stella Artois and similar.
So, one crate of 24 bottles would cost around ? 9.4
Note that ? 4.50 refund is additionally charged for the crates !

Cheers,

Thanks a bunch, Filip!

My friend is a Belgian himself so he won't be visiting any tourist shops

He just couldn't pull any prices out of his hat so I had to try this.
