I've ordered a few times from these guys.
Not surprisingly the selection is focussed on De Struise brews, but I've also picked up some Westvleteren 12. Certainly the easiest place for me to source such a wide variety of their beers currently and the price point is reasonable if enough volume is purchased to make the delivery worthwhile. Do they do 100's of beers? No, but who cares when you can fill up on Pannepot, etc.
Probably the best packing I've seen for an on-line beer order, with each bottle individually bubble-wrapped, put into a plastic beer crate and surrounded by polystyrene peanuts. I've not had a single damaged bottle arrive.
Will happily continue to support them directly.

I have placed 4 or 5 orders since last summer with all positive experiences. The web site is not intuitive at first, but once you figure out to create an account and login to see a price, all become clear.
Typically there are 5-8 beers available at one time. Almost all are DeStruise products but they will occasionally run a Westy 12 (limit one but still). I have picked up the whole Black Damnation series this way, plus some other brews that I have not seen over here (e.g. Ignus et Flamma, Black Albert Batch 0).
Prices are dirt cheap. Even with shipping I am typically paying $8-$9 a bottle, with delivery usually in ten day period. Best value is to order 6 or 12 bottles, which they tell you on the web site.
This site is one of the tabs that opens every morning when I fire up Chrome. I always look forward to seeing what is going on.

This is one of the coolest beer purchases I have ever experienced. Ordered a few cases last year when the Euro was low. Got a great deal on some amazing beers. I wish more breweries would try this system. The yeast samples go straight from the brewery to my doorstep. Average transit time has been around a week. Super easy and no pain in the ass US distributors to deal with. And I'm all for any brewery that cuts out the middle man. Especially considering how much the US distributors suck balls.
Oh yeah, did I mention these guys make soem of teh best beer in the world?

I've put in 3 orders so far online and to say I was pleased as punch would be an understatement.
Awesome brews, well packaged, great communication, reasonable prices for the beers and yes, even the shipping considering the distance the box has to travel.
My first order, I only ordered 4 beers, not the ideal cut off point for maximum value, so...they kindly added 2 beers, pro gratis, that I also thoroughly enjoyed. Since then, I've been on their website often to see what they have to offer.
So far, the De Struise Black Damnation II Mocha Bomb has been my favourite but none have been anything less than stellar. Heck, they even have some Westvleterens on sale from time to time.
Bottom line is that they offer excellent brews at the best possible prices that one can find for an overseas beer store. I highly recommend them!
Btw, for Atmosphere, I gave them the benefit of a doubt and scored them a 5.0...
