Sounds like heaven to me.

I've been getting a monthly beer box delivered from Virgin Wines for a while, but they have emailed this week to say this months will be their last one, as they want to concentrate on spirits and wine. I'm not too disappointed as they had started to repeat a few of their selections. Funnily enough, about an hour after the email from Virgin, I had an introductory email from Brewser announcing that they were starting a subscription service. £29 a month for 8 x 440ml cans direct from the brewery. The photo in the email was a Local Sports Team from Pentrich Brewing Co, which is fantastic - so I'm tempted to give it a go as a replacement for Virgin.

Anyone ever ordered anything off Brewser?

I've been tempted by them before. Looks like a good service, tbf.

Need to check if delivery is on top of the £29 or included. Either way, if it's on top (which I suspect it will be) that works out at about £3.60 a can, which isn't too bad at all.

That's just over 4 euro, which is a bit pricey and not that far off pub prices.
On the other hand it arrives at your door....
Is there a good mix ?
Do they do other beers than Pentrich?

Brewer work with hundreds of breweries across the country. You basically select a different brewery each month and get a box direct from them.

With the soaring ingredients and energy costs, breweries have been hit really hard having dragged themselves through the pandemic. The number of previously successful places closing this year shows that the wells have truly run dry. With that in mind, anything less than £4 for a can of small batch, independent beer is really good value. Anything cheaper than that will be mass produced 10 to the dozen filler.

Bullshit - beer is cheaper because of Brexit - Its a fact - Rishi said.

Rishi clearly likes a pint of Ruddles.

Brewser's deals are good, I don't bother with them myself as I tend to get what I want when I want with other retailers as well as direct monthly subscription from Cloudwater and NMBC.

Is a can of Putty worth £8.90?

 

[Stan Hullis]

It’s within the right range I’d say, depends how much you want to drink it.

Putty or Puttty? Probably £2 difference for the extra T.

Oh, I'd have to check Puttty, I think...

Definitely the going rate then

And it’s well worth it

There's a lot of hype to live up to for that price...

Galaxy, Mosaic and Azacca hops and 10% ABV. Brewed back in March IIRC, so shouldn't be too much hop fade (although the amount of hops they chucked into it should help). Reasonabbly priced. I paid a tenner and IIRC Machin saw it at £11.50.
