Looking For Affligem, Chimay, Rochefort, Leffe and a few other glasses...any good sources or online stores that ship to Canada?

Thanks

Hey GTA,

Pub Italia in Ottawa sells a lot of this stuff, but I don't have a source in Toronto. You could contact them and see what can be arranged. You can see them at: http://www.pubitalia.com/retail.html

Hey, Thanks.

I found a great site based in the US from another thread and ordered some Chimay, Hoegaarden and Rochefort glasses.

Shipping isn't that bad for cross border either, just hope I don't get nailed with duty...it's always a crapshoot.

My advice is always have them ship stuff USPS. Having ordered a lot of brewing stuff from the states I have found it is not the duty that is so bad as the brokerage costs. Some of the shipping companies charge in excess of $25 for brokerage, whereas USPS IIRC charges $5...but I could be off a bit on that number.

One order I had for yeast and some supplies was $7 in taxes and duty but $35 brokerage fee...man that stung!

Straub's is pretty good, though several glasses look to be out of stock.

And in their FAQs, they state they charge only $5 over the posted shipping rates to send to Canada.

Cheers!

These guys carry just about everything a home-brewer could want, and you don't have to worry about your goods crossing the border.

They don't carry much for glasses though, just small pints and pilsners, so this won't help the original poster.

I've ordered from Paddock Wood before. However, they don't carry whitelabs yeast, and often you can beat their prices by ordering from the US, as most of there stock equipment wise comes from more beer. If there isn't something on the catalogue but you see it in more beer they'll get it for you...if you don't mind the mark up.

Some of their stock can be found for considerably less cost from the original supplier, especially draft equipment.

So are you saying that even with the import fees and whatnot, that it's still cheaper to order from the US? I can't say that I've mailordered any homebrew supplies or equipment, so I don't really know. All I can say about Paddockwood is that they are very knowledgable and friendly, plus their supplies are fresh and almost always in stock.

I'm fortunate enough that I only live 2 hours from Saskatoon (home of Paddockwood), and I'm there quite often, so I just stop by the store and pick my stuff up.

Check it out guys.
They are a new startup in Vankleek Hill, close to the Quebec border. They will be brewing a Kolsch, and will have a supply of the proper glasses available. Do some internet searches, e.g. on the BA site, and get in line for the first pour.
Now that the Sens have been blown out of the water, I need something to look forward to.

Cheers.

Try Ebay, there are always European glasses for sale-I've bought a bunch in the last couple of months. Look in the collectibles, brewerania, drinkware, not barware or something like that. The barware won't have many quality glasses.
