I'm planning an evening soon where all the food and drink is going to be
from Albania. I've found quite a few recipes (and the food overlaps with
other countries' anyway) but finding sources of Albanian beer or wine in
the UK is proving a little more difficult.

I was wondering is anyone knew of any Albanian alcholic beverages available
in the UK. It'd be nice if it was beer or wine rather than some fruit
brandy or something really strong that you can't drink all night (well, I
can't - although I'm sure the residents of Tirane are made of tougher
stuff!)

I would also be interested in Albanian beer - what's it like and does anyone
have a homebrew recipe ?

I haven't tasted any but I'll let you know if I find anything. Albania
produces lots of wine. It's just finding a UK importer that's the problem.

A local pub known for its European beers said that it might have some
Albanian brandy, but I don't want to drink brandy all night.
