This shop is has very awkward opening hours. They open at lunchtime and then close until tea time. Whenever I'm in Coventry I only ever think to buy beer from here about 3 o'clock so I can get the lagers cooling in the fridge for the evening. And they are closed.
Aside from that, they have an excellent selection of bottle conditioned ale and lots of foreign lager. They have a different supplier to Bitter Virtue too, which means they always have stuff I've never tried before.
They have a shop dog too who is on a few of their beer labels.

Alexander Wines - re-opened!
Just to say that the shop eventually closed but has now re-opened under new management (same as In-Spire). This is now one of the best beer shops in the UKi with over 400 beers currently from around the world. I make a visit every week as it's only around the corner from me. The chaps who run it are also super guys and know their stuff.
Just thought people would like to know!

thanks for the update
Thanks for the update James. I don't have much reason to visit Coventry nowadays, so its good to know that I could pop in if I happened to be working in the area - and of course that others have such excellent taste!
opening times
They've fixed the opening times situation, and are now open Noon-10pm every day. Definitely worth a visit if you're ever in the area.
