This has probably been asked before but times move on... Is there a place near or on the concourse still where it's possible to purchase tobacco/cigarettes? Cheers.
I've always gone with the flow.... There are £29 each way offers at the end of the month and was hoping to do a straight in/straight out jobbie....
Brussels Midi now actually has a duty free after security. They sell cigs there. Plus a wide array of Belgian beers. Couldn't resist a couple of bottles myself.
But is it really that wide or is it all just the standard "Leffe" or "Chimay" stuff which you can get over here anyway?
I picked up two bottles of Blanche de Namur. There was a decent variety of stuff- probably a little cheaper than in the UK. Leffe and Chimay were however featured, yes. A lot of it I have seen at home- albeit often in more specialist beer and ale stores. (One in Ashbourne is good for Belgian stuff) Comically you could also get a case of Stella. Sure its local but...why
The Stella in the U.K. is largely brewed in Luton, I think, compared with Leuven and is slightly weaker. I stand to be corrected though. EDIT: Google suggested both Magor in Wales and Luton.
I read Brussels midi has a duty free you have to walk through now. https://twitter.com/declantyrrell/status/1219872619509571586?s=21 Should give it a more airport feel.
