I live in Boston, and am looking to buy a Chimay gift set as a
Christmas gift for a friend. This is a package that includes a Chimay
glass and three 33cl bottles of their beers -- one each of the red,
white, and blue. I bought such a set for myself a couple of years
ago, but I was living in a different city, at the time. I've found
this set listed at one online store, so I'm pretty sure they still
exist, but for various reasons I can't order from said online store.

Can anyone suggest a place in the Boston area where I might find this?

Any assistance much appreciated.

I don't know for sure, but try Downtown Liquors (or is it "Downtown
Wine & Spirits"?) in Davis Sq, Somerville a try. You might want to
give them a call first, to make sure.

You mention the "Boston area". Try Julio's Liquors in Westborough (on
route 9 about 2 miles west of 495). They have one of the most amazing
selections I've seen anywhere (specially Belgian, they have stuff I
haven't seen outside of Antwerp). They usually have a good deal of
holiday gift sets. Call them first at (508) 366-1942 and ask for the
beer manager, Joe Santos.

Thanks to all who replied.

I ended up finding what I was looking for at University Wine Shop at
991 Mass. Ave. in Cambridge.

I mentioned earlier in the week that Julio's in Westboro would probably
have the Chimay gift packs. Just got back from there. They have 20 of
the 3 bottle and a glass gift packs at $12 each.
