Beer delivered straight to your door, sounds like the perfect package right? Well heck, it kind of is; the postman delivered my first shipment from Beer52 last week. Some folks get excited by their weekly Graze boxes, or bagging the latest trainers (guilty) but receiving beer through the door was a brand new one to me.
Beer52 is an online Craft Beer delivery service - the UK's most popular Craft Beer club. Each month you receive a selection of 8 beers, from all around the world; as chosen by their expert beer fellows. It's a monthly subscriptions, which can be cancelled at any time. You never know which beers you're going to get, so it's a surprise each time. Obviously it's mostly about the beer but I'm also attracted to the label + bottle design, as well as being able to recording what each beer on Untapped, which I discovered thanks to Nik.
Above are a few of my first month's beers - I can't comment too much on each beer as I've only tried one, Froach Heather Ale; a malty Scottish ale with a punchy floral aftertaste. I'd like to have seen more beers from countries I know little about, but that's something to request for the future I think?
Use code "BUCKETS10" at the checkout to receive £10 off your first box, plus free delivery
as standard!
What do you think of Beer52 as a service, would you consider using something like this? Be great to get some of your thoughts?
I really like this idea and I think it would make for a good gift!
ReplyDeleteI don't drink, but I know some guys who would love this as a birthday gift!

I've always heard that its illegal to ship alcohol through the USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc. How do these companies get around that? Anyone know?
ReplyDeleteGood question, mine arrived no sweat. I'll look into that.
DeleteWe're not in the States, so the US Postal Service, FedEx etc restrictions don't apply to us!
DeleteIt's perfectly legal in the UK :)

I tried Beer52 but wasn't particularly impressed with the beers they sent out. Half of the beers I received I could've got at my local supermarket. A couple of the "rarer" beers didn't taste right, they seemed a bit off. Perhaps I just got a duff box?

That's a shame, did you speak to them about it? Sounds very duff.
ReplyDeleteI did. They originally said they'd provide a new box but it never materalised :(
