    friend and his wife are in Greenpoint, near the water off Greenpoint Ave. wife is beginning to find her groove with Lindeman's. she really digs the Peche and has had one or two other in a similar vein (she didn't remember the names) but has no idea where to search for more.

    is there a store nearby that carries a solid selection? she'd also be looking for a wide selection of Belgians... shared a Stoic with them tonight and she was blown away.

    Rodenbach Grand Cru is pretty easy to obtain at grocery stores / bodegas carrying better beers and is probably the next step up from something like Lindemans. Most bottle shops should also have some nice gueuze like Boon's, Girardin, or Hanssens. Breukelen Bier Merchants might be a slight trek for you, but they'll have something good to recommend.

    there's a good beer store right by them that should be able to help her pick out some things to try:

    Well if your wife is into unauthentic lambic (not my coinage of the term, but seems to be referred to as such by the "real" lambic brewers of belgium) then New Beer Distributors has a great selection of Lindemans and Liefmans.

    EDIT: didn't realize you were asking for BK spots. Eagle Provisions should do you just fine.
