Hi Guys, as promised a new thread for subscription sites. Happy New Year!
My Beer52 package arrived today with 11 Aussie beers and 1 from Siren. Only two new breweries for me, but all 12 are new beers and the 11 from Melbourne will push my Victoria total to 20, so not unhappy at all.
Still waiting for mine, they took my money before 23rd Dec but just got confirmation that its on its way this morning. Disappointed that there is a Siren beer shoved in with it if thatās the case.
Mine came yesterday and it included the Siren / Sailorās Grave / Arizona Wilderness Out Too Far. Denied me a new brewery there unfortunately but will pick up 5 others and 11 Victoria ratings, so happy enough. Intrigued by what they mean by the next delivery and the Chouffe clue. Should get round to drinking the Aussie beers by mid Jan I reckon.
The name of the Feb Beer52 box seems to have changed from āSupport our brewersā to " We Love Our Breweries". I was also intrigued by the mention of Chouffe - maybe not the UK box I assumed?
If youāre logged into the Beer52 website, the subscription page shows you details of the next box youāll be getting. If youāre still due the January box, the subscription page will show you the Melbourne box coming next. If youāve already had the Melbourne one, or (like me) are on a two monthly subscription and therefore missing the January one, itāll show you the details of the Feb box - at present the only details available are the name that I showed above.
I think the mention of Chouffe was in the magazine that came with he Melbourne box (but as I said I didnāt get that so Iām just requoting other people on that bit.
Obviously with the current situation we may get a completely different box anyway, but itās always vaguely entertaining to try and work it out from the hints on the website & in the mag!
Whjat subscription page ? When I go to www.beer52.com it automatically gives me something called Dashboard. OK. Iāve found it now - hardly intuitive ā¦
My To Ćl January beer box ordered and paid for, but slight delay due to brexit. The new HMRC rules mean tax is paid at the point of sale in which ever country that is rather than at the point of import. I think.
Basically any small business wanting to export to the uk now need to register and pay tax in the UK. I think.
Apart from a couple of half price forays into the Mikkeller Beer Mail sub Iāve never bothered with subs as I generally prefer to have control over what Iām ordering particularly with what they cost.
However, I have just taken a punt on the Wales Ales sub which is hand delivered for free in s. Wales and costs 15 quid for 6 beers a month. Seems like superb value to me particularly as they also allow you to swap out beers you donāt fancy for any others they have in stock.
I would be interested to hear what happens when it arrives as I have held off ordering from any of my regular UK beer websites until things settled down.
If things remain volatile, I suspect that my UK ratings, UK county stats and favourite UK breweries are going to come to a grinding halt which will be very sad.
My son had a 10 can box delivered yesterday and he had the āOut Too Deepā from Sailors Grave, the only different one from my 12. Iāve stolen it of course!
So I do get 12 new rates from Victoria, as well as the Siren one.
