Sweet. My friend just moved back there so I will visit soon. I know they got a huge Bosniak population.

Thanks for the tip! Iā€™ll take all others if anyone wants to provide them :sunglasses:

Well, @herrklemann got me some nice Slovenian beers so have ticked off one of these since posting this 8 months ago. Israel and Dominican Republic remain my ā€œeasiestā€, with Lebanon now taking the third spot.

Oh NZ has some great brews though! Here in the UK Yeastie Boys is especially easy to pick up as some of their beers are brewed at BrewDog, but arguably better than them are 8 Wired which we frequently see imported now. I could include a couple of bottles whenever our next trade might be if youā€™re interested. :slight_smile:

@LazyPyro, got my Lebanese rate from this restaurant chain which now has quite a few branches across the UK - donā€™t know if any are near enough to you to help?https://www.comptoirlibanais.com/locations/

163 Northern Ireland
160 Chile
152 Costa Rica

Donā€™t see any of them happening soon, though they should be easy to get at some point.

Morocco which is 4th should be on its way soon.

Northern Irish beers (Foxes Rock) can be found in Moscow and possibly elsewhere in Russia, if you know anyone who is here for the World Cup.

Update
Easiest:
128 Malaysia :malaysia: will be fixed within a week
109 Belize :belize:
58 Ivory Coast :cote_divoire:
56 Zambia :zambia: (hade one on the go, but went broken in last trade)

Hardest (tried):
12 Northern Marinas
13 Guinea-Bissau :guinea_bissau:
13 Tajikistan :tajikistan:

Cheers // Thomas

Iā€™m not hunting new countries actively, though it looks similar too others:

155 El Salvador
156 Guatemala
157 Colombia

Hardest Iā€™ve had is

21 Syria

Thanks for the heads up. Just used their location checker, Birmingham, Bath, Oxford are all roughly equidistant from where I am, none Iā€™d really class as being ā€œnearā€ enough to warrant a visit. Not a tick Iā€™m desperate for but Iā€™m sure I can find Lebanese restaurants closer to me that might have it.

This Dutch webshop sells 5 Northern Irish beers its from Belfast only they put under Ireland https://www.sterk.amsterdam/webwinkel/alcoholische-dranken/bier/land/ierland/boundary.html

To add to that, if @marko or anyone else is after Northern Irish beers youā€™ll find Boundary in a large number of UK webshops, they are sometimes mistakenly put under Ireland in country filters.

I canā€™t seem to get anything from China even though several of their beers are in the USA. I got one at a Chinese restaurant last year.

Otherwise, Central American countries are nearby but difficult for me to come by other than the HUGE names. A friend of mine is originally from Nicaragua and a few years ago she brought me back 4 untried beers from there after visiting her family. I know Tona is fairly available here but the other ones were not.

Thereā€™s plenty of beers going into China but not a whole lot coming out. The only time they ever pop up in the Netherlands is when Great Leap comes over for a festival.

Holy shit not even Tsingtao? I thought they sold that everywhere. Good luck!

I just picked up a Master Gao beer in a bottle shop in Philly. No idea how it got there.
