Global Beer Exchange was founded by a few idealistic beer aficionados who got bored to tears with the mass-marketed products. Those products were engineered to be consumed on any occasion by anyone.
Our assortment is tailored to the connoisseurs and enthusiasts of all walks of life who know how to enjoy character and flavor of this social liquor called beer.
Global Beer Exchange has a wide assortment of
- Specialty beers from selected craft breweries in the U.S.A.,
- Original pilsner lagers from the town of Pilsen in Czech the birth place of Pilsner/lager type beers,
- Abbey Ales, produced in small scale breweries according to age-old Trappist recipes,
- Specialty blond ales from Belgium with a high alcohol content (some of them are actually barley wines),and
- Refreshing wheat beers (This style is naturally cloudy due to the higher protein content in wheat). The Belgian and some U.S. varieties in our assortment are traditionally spiced with a little coriander and orange peel. We also have a wheat beer brewed by the oldest brewery in the world; Weihenstephan, which was founded in Bavaria in 725.

This Month's Beer RecipeImperial Stout Chocolate Cake The trick to this recipe is to balance the frosting and cake --- one should be sweeter and the other more bitter. To make the frosting more bitter, use succanat (freeze-dried raw sugar, much better than molasses or American brown sugar (a blend of molasses and white sugar)), use more and stronger beer, boil to a lower temperature (114C), and use less sour cream. What You'll Need for the Cake:
What to Do: Sift flour, sugar, soda, baking powder, and salt together. In a larger bowl over warm water, combine chocolate and oil. Melt together, remove from heat. Blend eggs, then cream, beer, and vanilla. Combine with chocolate mixture and dry ingredients. Butter and parchment 12” round springform pan. Bake 60 min at 350F in convection oven (use more heat for non-convection ovens). Test with toothpick. This cake can be used after it is cool, but is better after a day. You can use cocoa powder and oil (equal parts) for the chocolate to get a moister cake. What You'll Need for the Icing:
What to Do: Combine sugar, stout, cream, butter, and salt in a 2 quart heavy-bottomed saucepan. Over medium heat, stir to blend ingredients and bring slowly to a boil. Once everything is dissolved, do not stir the mixture. Boil the syrup to hard ball (120C aka 248F), maybe 20 minutes—no stirring!
