Jeff Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Feel like trying some new beers or IPA's. Can anyone recommend an online shop that has a good range and decent prices? Seen beerhawk mentioned before but have tried a fair few in the packs they do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boof Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 https://www.flavourly.com/ seem to do a lot of Facebook advertising. I got a mixed case of things I'd never buy for myself just to test them. Didn't keep any record of what I liked or didn't so might have to try 'em again next time they do a cheapo offer. Some of it was fine - some a bit fruity for my taste in beer.

If you are ever near Dalkeith then eskbank trading have a cracking variety of mostly Scottish/UK beers. Crossborders are my fav though. In normal times they open up the tap room at weekends Obviously its all their own but there's a good variety. I personally like 'wee braw'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Locky Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Beer 52 is alright. It'll certainly broaden your palette and give you a totally different outlook on just how many different beers are out there. But after a year, I got bored, and haven't found myself hunting down any of the beers I tried at all tbh. Bit of fun, but the novelty wore off for me. Beer Hawk is definitely a decent website. Also The Fine Wine company take online orders and have a great wee range of beers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't suggest it initially as my local Morrisons do stock it, so wasn't sure it was different enough for what you were looking for. Nice beer though. Entire range only £1.99 a bottle and can mix and match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I ordered some beers from Tiny Rebel the other night and they arrived this morning. Looking forward to trying them out. https://www.tinyrebel.co.uk/ Had a few different ones in recent Beer 52 boxes and quite liked them. My mate absolutely loves their stuff so he added an extra one to his last order for me to try. The flavours are certainly a bit different but I wouldn't have even thought about ordering some of their stuff six months ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig_ Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Beer52 are arseholes with terrible customer service. Most of Flavourly's stuff is their own brand and not great. Would definitely stick with Beer Hawk, some of their European lager case deals are tremendous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

inspector Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I tried Flavourly when they had an offer of 24 cans for £30. Most were pretty good. Currently doing Beer52 but starting to find them a bit samey. My first box from them contained a peanut butter stout. Gave me the boak Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Over the last year availability has been limited this is true, I think it is simply down to lockdowns, folks buying up lots of beer as the pubs are shut, even some of the breweries stopped production for a while.

Would definitely stick with Beer Hawk, some of their European lager case deals are tremendous. Disgusting company. Took my money and sent me a completely different box of 'beer' from the one I'd ordered, then hid behind their T's & C's when I complained, saying that they have the right to substitute beers if they are no longer available, yes that's right but surely a decent company would tell you if the box you had ordered wasn't available instead of just sending out a completely different 12 case without telling you. 'Beer' the case they sent was nothing more than fecking alcopops, absolute fecking rubbish. Will never ever get anything from Beer52 ever again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Beer 52 have been good in my experience. Boxes delivered regularly and the content is always what is expected. A friend of my mate's girlfriend works for them and says the best way to contact them is always via email. Particularly if wanting to cancel a subscription. I'll probably cancel once life is back to normal but I've certainly enjoyed the majority of the beers I've tried from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jambo-Jimbo Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I've never got round to ordering anything from them yet, but lots of beers from the North East of England, some small breweries. https://www.northumbriangifts.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alan_R Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Not to rub it in (as my mate tells me by the time he ordered it was sold out) But crossborders have excelled themselves with the coffee beer they just released. I love coffee as a flavour and it really comes through. Beautiful stuff. Got a growler of pilsner left but that'll probably be gone by tonight Edited March 3 by Alan_R Quote Link to post Share on other sites
