I'm headed to Wilmille next week (near Boulogne-sur-Mer) for work. Anyone know of a(some) good beer place(s) around the area? I'm not familiar with the area. I know Belgium is close by, I'll be hitting spots there on my drive back through to Brussels before flying back home at the end of the week. However, I know nothing about beers of northern France. Appreciate any suggestions.

I can offer no beer suggestions but have to ask. Are you going to have a chance to see Vimy Ridge? It's on my bucket list to fly into Belgium for the beer and visit Vimy.

Brasserie Thiriez - near the Belgian border if you are heading that way
Address: 22 Rue de Wormhout, 59470 Esquelbecq, France

seems to be quite a few spots to get craft beer in town including a leffe cafe. I just stuck "Boulogne-sur-Mer craft beer" into google maps.

Thanks guys. I will not have time to go to Vimy Ridge this trip, but hope to get there sometime.

Probably too late, but I was in that region in November. Lot of very good Biere de Garde, some nice blanches but don't expect any good hoppy stuff.

Are you back yet John? We need pictures and I have yeast for you.

I'm back. No pics unfortunately, other than work stuff. Any restaurant I went to had a great selection of beers, mostly Belgian. Heading back there in 2 weeks and trying to get an appointment for a beer pickup from Westvleteren on my drive back through to Brussels. Fingers crossed.
