William Shakesbeer: Valencia’s Newest Online English Books and Craft Beer Shop

William Shakesbeer, Valencia’s newest, secondhand English bookstore, offers customers a wide variety of used English books and craft beer from around the world. Fiction and non-fiction books for adults, teens, children and tots are available at affordable prices. There is soon to be a tempting selection of craft beers from around the globe.

Although Shakesbeer is currently online, the original plan was to have a shop in the city centre. But as with so many plans, the pandemic has paused this for the moment.

“When we first moved to Valencia five years ago, we realised that it was difficult to find affordable English books in the city,” say owners Nic and Nick Elliott-Boldison, “We also noticed that people were becoming interested in craft beer, so we’ve combined our two passions to launch our online shop.”

In the coming months, the owners are planning to offer some pop up stalls at various locations around Valencia. This will give customers the opportunity to browse the books and beers in person, ask questions and take advantage of special offers.

For now, the independent book and beer shop can be followed on Instagram and Facebook. There is also a weekly blog post to inspire you, and books can be bought directly from the website.
