Although they have offered me a 10% discount code specific to me. With the bump in prices and now this, I'm considering switching to the SUB if I'm honest. Also just noticed they are effectively getting rid of free delivery. Orders over £90 now instead of £50. With the discount code and beer tokens, I was usually around the £75 mark, so going to be almost as expensive as the pub now!

graygo Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 Worth keeping an eye on Amazon, keg of Hoegaarden at £30.90 with free delivery £3 less than BH, no delivery charge, no Yodel and no minimum order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got the email, finishes at midnight tomorrow but they are offering 10% off 3 kegs while they decide what to do, a further kick in the nuts is that free delivery only on orders over £90. I picked up a keg of Juliper in a Belgian discount supermarket and it ran me Euro 15.99 (got £5 back for the keg here too). In that context Beer Hawk are doing a bit of gouging price wise particularly with some of the stuff priced over £40... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graygo Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 I think they've lost the plot. UPDATE: We've had an issue with the free delivery threshold. For now we have reverted it back to £50. To explain, the £90 threshold will be before any discount has been applied. So, if you spent £95 and got a £9.50 (10%) discount you would still get free delivery, even though the cart total would be below £90.

hughesie27 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Claim that the delivery fee from 50 to 90 won't impact the majority of their customers who buy over £90 per order. That'll be because they'll be using the discount code. Without that folk will go back to buying 1 or 2 kegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo89 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Makes the everage pint at home around £3.80 now if your order is over £90. They increased the price of the kegs in March and now this further increase (effectively 5% per keg) is the last straw. Think I'll go back to bottles.

They have a right arse of this. but not £3.80 for a pint. Even if your order was a £100,tenner discount,£15 back on kegs . Total would be £75 divided by 31.5 pints is £2.38 ish.

I know it is 6 litres (shopuld be 10.5), but when do you ever really get that many out of it. Also you need to add £5 for delivery, so would be £80 as the new rate is £90 for free delivery. As I understand it, you will still get free delivery if your order is under £90 with the discount code, but not using the tokens (as that takes the total balance to under £90) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muldoon74 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I was going to treat myself to a pd for my birthday next month but with the lack of discounts etc I don't think it's worth it now tbh. I'll stick to the sub. Still loads to try beer wise and most available in local shops (day to day etc).. Had Amstel at the weekend, nice enough but I was impatient and had it a bit too early as wasn't quite cold enough. I'll chill the next one properly to give it a chance..

muldoon74 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Got a Heineken and a Zipfer for the sub Chilled heineken in freezer for an hour to make sure temp is right this time. Was worried it would be same as heineken cans or bottles but its a lot nicer. Smoother and very quaffable.. Good job I only got one of them. (Saving Zipfer for tomorrow night).

Surely the technology exist to make the sub machine thinner in body yet accommodate a 3litre keg/torp?. That's mine, probably all sub owners, biggest gripe,. Too dam small!

muldoon74 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Had 2 Amstel torps yesterday, was chilled to perfection but still didn't pour very well.. 🤔 Got 2 Heineken for tonight, chilled for an hour in freezer, pouring brilliantly. Beginning to think the Amstel is gassier or in something as my first Amstel a couple of weeks ago didn't pour well either. Seems to go flat quicker than Heineken or morreti (or any other torp I've had) aswell.. Anyone got any tips for the sub? Mine was free and third hand.. the little metal holder (for the plastic tube that goes into the nozzle) seems to stick so it keeps pouring if I don't push it with my thumb nail to shut it. Also noticed that there seems to be a leak from same area from the tubes themselves, where the "valve" meets the tube from the torp... Any advise? Edit: Heineken going down a treat though!
