Judging from recent rates it seems they’ve completely toned down the garlic compared to when me and @blackhaddock had it years ago. I recall there was a large clove of garlic in the bottle neck, and the entire pub filling with the pungent stench of garlic, requiring an apology from our group!

Beerwulf has a French box available that might have a few new French regions for people (eg Burgundy, Pays de la Loire, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes):
Their advent calendar also has a few of these in. Shame you can’t pick & choose individual beers from them.

Tempting at first as I would pick up one new region and a new style (if categorised correctly) with this:
https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/vezelay-lager-blonde-bio-sans-gluten/533787/
However, Looking at the beer ratings on here though, they’re not great overall. Also two of the bottles are only 25cl and the rest 33cl so there is not even a lot of beer for your buck to compensate for lack of quality. Yeah shame you cant buy individual beers.
These guys (https://beerbruvs.co.uk/) seem to stock a number of beers from US breweries. Some new states for me here in New Jersey, Texas, Oregon and North Dakota. They also currently have a sale on short dated cans if you don’t mind that sort of thing.

Picked up an accidental new French region in the Brewdog Collabfest. Brasserie Gekko is in Alpes Maritime as far as I can tell and they did the beer with Brewdog Nice. Just Occitaine to go now.

I’ve been drinking Beer Zombies stuff on-tap here in California and I have a feeling it’s brewed locally and not in Las Vegas anymore (if ever). They certainly seem to have a thing with Mason Ale Works.
<*))))))><
Yes - it mentions it on the can but I made.the decision to forget I’d ever read it.
Edit: Beer Zombies’ website certainly states that they are based in Las Vegas. But Mason brew there beers?

Missed that - and I need a Nevada tick too. Never mind.
This might interest someone. I ordered this lot online from craftbeersdelivered.com in Ireland. They ship to the UK for €25.
Some breweries listed on that site were out of stock but I’ve got a few new regions here. Clare, Kerry, Laois, Limerick, Mayo, Meath, Westmeath

I’ve used these guys for Northern Ireland: https://www.ratebeer.com/p/kwm-wines-spirits-kilkeel/75689/97853/ and was looking at here for Ireland: Craft Beers | Fairley's Wines (NI), but haven’t ordered, both deliver to the UK and seem a bit cheaper than 25 Euro’s to do so.
Thanks for the information though, I will take a look at their website.

Thanks for this, its very tempting indeed. I can pick up 24 new breweries and 8 new regions for 110 Euros including postage. I’m in two minds though because that 25 euro postage can be for up to 48 cans so tempted to save up for a bigger delivery so less postage per can although stuff may get out of stock by then.
Anyway for anyone interested I listed for my personal use the breweries I hadn’t tried and their region. Apologies for any spelling errors but I wasn’t originally intending to share and I’m now too tired to recheck:

just ordered. Website is a bit frustrating in that they don’t delete out of stock items so I clicked on several tick breweries only to find they didn’t have any. Had 25 beers in my basket, >24 triggers an extra €10 shipping (not >48 as stated on website) so I reluctantly dropped a can

the cutoff for extra postage is 24 not 48, and sadly several of those breweries are out of stock

Yeah it’s a frustrating website.
A filter showing in stock / out of stock would be useful.

Thanks for this, I’ve emailed to let them and let them know so they have a chance to update their website.
