Anyone know when we should expect the Hagstravaganza boxes to be dispatched?

They said from the 7th.

Is there a list of the breweries or beers? Very much looking forward to this

I missed out on a box ... Does anyone know if more will become available?

So I was talking crap.

The email actually said "boxes will be sent out week ending 17th July".

Such odd phraseology.

I saw on their Instagram earlier that they had a few more available, I think you had to comment on it and they would sort it out

I don't think that's what they said. They are offering a new box of all their own beers, though.

Frankly I will be exceedingly surprised if every brewery advertised on the box ends up being in the box. There have always been logistical hiccups with promised beer at the festival; I don't see this model being different.

Got a hagstravaganza box myself, been to the festival each year. Good craic. Done the 3 year barrel adopter scheme too.

Hope they do another one. The lads are top blokes.

Had a Glas and a Fionn last night. The glas was particularly good.

The Celtic Whiskey Shop have joined the online craft beer delivery game. https://www.craftbeersdelivered.com/

Similar imported selection to Craft Central but there's more Irish offerings there, including bottles. 3 for €10 offer slightly worse value than 4 for €12 however.

The White Hag have published the list of beers in their Boxtravaganza

More the list of brewers than beers, but exciting nonetheless.

Got a notification while I was typing this that my order will be delivered on Monday.

I'm taking the list of brewers rather than beers to mean there is some variance between boxes. Could be overthinking that.

Got the WH email but no DPD stuff yet; usually get a mail and then a text on the morning of delivery.

DrZeuss

Ah yes, apologies it's breweries not beers. So still a bit of a surprise when cracking open the box.

No DPD notification yet either, shame too as the local guy delivers here on Saturdays.

Basq

First time I've received the DPD text this far in advance of a delivery too.. was hoping it would be tomorrow!

As does here... but we'll be out all day tomorrow!

DPD delivered before we left so the box is now in my hall

Same here, a nice surprise delivery this morning too

matrim

Got mine this morning too. Surprised as I didn't get anything from DPD before the guy arrived

For those that received their boxes, what part of the country are you in? Haven't got anything since the initial email.

Basq

If people want to be surprised, be careful on Twitter..

.. as photos of full contents of box up there currently!

Thankfully I got a warning..

(Oh and please don't post it here without a warning)

Got mine unexpectedly this morning in South Dublin. Had gotten a dpd text yesterday to say it would be delivered on Monday. Quite a few sours which aren't usually my style but happy to try them out

Thanks for that.

Yeah, can people refrain from posting it here. I'm looking forward to the surprise.

Nothing yet received from DPD either for delivery to Dublin 8.

Basq

Was waiting all day for The White Hag box..

.. finally arrived about 3pm!

Gonna be a long 5 days. Thankfully an order came from Craft Central on Friday to tie me over.

Mine arrived Saturday. Quality selection!

matrim

I haven’t looked at the beers yet. Going to wait until Friday to open the box

You'll have to avoid the WH twitter as they just retweeted an opened up box.

That was easily done so

Box just arrived but as herself is in work, I shall have to wait for the opening.

Porterhouse Wrasslers is available in cans again, anyone know of places delivering it, for some reason you can only buy their core range in their own online shop?

Bit of a wait but it's now on their website. https://shopie.porterhousebrewco.ie/cans/22-wrasslers-xxxx-24x-440ml.html

I'm delighted with the selection of

sours

in the box. That was unexpected.

Very impressive set up I must say. Completely worth the outlay.

BeerNut

I was a bit disappointed by the *lack* of diversity: flavoured sour beers and IPAs and little else. ONE STOUT?!?

FFS.
