German Gourmet in Bailey's Crossroad area has several german beers along with other imported goods.

Sherry's in Woodley park and 1 West Dupont Wine & Liquor ($$) have good imported beer selections

A little bit of a trek from DC, but this place has a great Belgian selection http://www.westovermarketbeergarden.com/the-great-wall-of-beer.html

Rodman’s has a large selection of European alcoholic beverages

Since you opened it up to DMV:

*Craft Beer Cellar DC on H St NE

*Planet Wine in Alexandria

*K-1 Beer and Wine in Arlington

*Fenwick Beer and Wine in Silver Spring

*Downtown Crown way out in Gaithersburg

There are many more, lots of places import Belgian beers. If you haven't already I'd figure out whether he likes sours or not.

thank you everyone!!

Total Wine out in McLean if you don't mind the trek. They have an enormous selection of beers that nobody in the District can really compete with.

+1 for German Gourmet. Best German beer selection hands down.

Hop Cask and Barrel (Georgetown) has a good selection, especially the lambic style beers which are uniquely Begian. Also the standard Delerium/Brouwerij Verhaeghe selection.

Budweiser was bought by a Belgian brewer a few years back (along with a TON of other American breweries). Does that count?

Rodmans is almost always the answer for foreign beer, wine and other food stuffs.

Cleveland Park Wine and Spirits. Whole Foods has decent Belgium beer in stock most times, too. Total Wine & More, has a very extensive selection.

Delirium Cafe has two locations. Brussels, Belgium and Leesburg, VA.

I have been to both and while nothing compares to the original the one here is a lot more accessible :)

You could visit the Leesburg location and get some pretty cool stuff for your grandpa. However, if he lives anywhere in the DMV area my suggestion would be to take the time and take him there yourself. I bet he would think that's the best present. Happy holidays!

There’s one in Potomac Yard as well if OP doesn’t mind a walk from Crystal City metro. They had a pretty good Belgian selection last time I was there.

I’ve never been to that one, but I found the Ballston location—very close to the Orange Line—kind of lacking in beer selection. It’s way smaller than most locations.

Even Whole Foods has Belgians. Look at the warm aisle next to the cold aisle

one west has stuff on the shelf that is so far past code, on top of having so much lightstruck product.

Brasserie Beck, Granville Moore, Belga Cafe, The Sovereign will probably sell you bottles from their selection. But if you cant find what you want there

Rodmans, MacArthur Beverage, Craft Beer Cellar, Sherry's, Harry's Reserve, Magruders, and Calvert Woodley all should have options.

I dont know outside of the restaurants how many of them sell singles.

Cleveland Park Wine and Spirits has a decent selection and the staff has always been able to help me find exactly what I'm looking for - never been disappointed yet!
Also gonna second Sherry's in Woodley Park! They have an unbelievable amount of options.

cannot believe the Sovereign hasn’t been mentioned yet. absolutely insane cellar and bottle list and routinely do specific brewer events. 10/10 for a belgian beer lover.

Total Wine near Ballston is fairly easy to get to. I know for a fact that they have a decent Belgian selection!

This is probably one of the better spots for a Belgian beer gift with a story/notoriety behind it as it’s like THE big Belgian brewery most Belgian beer fans are familiar with
