    Would you recommend getting that box as a present? I have it in my cart online but I'm here wondering if it's worth it! I see they've another Christmas gift box for 50e :pac:

    My best friend is mad into craft beer so I know he would like it...
    It was a very nice surprise and hugely appreciated as a craft beer fan.

    However, I've no clue what's in it. But there's a good chance it'll have a solid mix of Ale's, Sour's etc. So if he likes a good mix and the mystery, go for it.

    When I think that, as kids, we were happy to open the windows just to see a little picture behind, not even a sweet!

    Will do. I got the BeerCloud Advent calendar. Looking forward to it, but only drinking one beer a night for the next 24 nights is going to be a challenge.

    It's gone off the website, so must be sold out.

    Nothing returned to mine.

    Did you have an issue on the day whereby you might have paid twice with the website collapse?

    Did you get a confirmation email and confirmation number for your order? On the day of the sale I had an order voided with PayPal because due to the site issues on the day PayPal had started the process of a payment that I subsequently didn't receive confirmation of, but I'm assuming if you received a confirmation email on the day of payment that it would be very strange for you to be getting a refund now?

    I hope that's not too much of a sign of things to come as I didn't buy theirs presuming it was going to be mostly German and Belgian.

    Personally I'd hold onto that one. But it's your choice, if you really dont want it I could certainly fond it a good home

    Yeah Verdant is really nice stuff and they very rarely export but no way I'm paying close to €10 for a DIPA.

    Beerclub Day 1

    Nice!

    Craft Central Advent calendar day 1 unwrapped so it can be cold for tonight
    Craft Central/Bru King Nelson Colab
    . A little disappointing start given the Beerclub above!!

    Edit: Actually rather enjoyed this, better than I remember from the first time I had it.

    I love Verdant but these prices are surprising. Headband is £3.80 from Verdant directly and €6.75 here. The one that is listed at almost €10 was £6.

    On the other hand, the prices are not too dissimilar to what HonestBrew charge.

    I was going to ask what is it like getting beer from the UK (e.g. Verdant & Cloudwater) but then I suspect Brexit is going to change all that and make it a little more complex.

    It shouldn't be possible, even now, well legally anyway. Taking alcohol cross border is allowed if you carry it yourself and it is for personal use. It is not legal to have it shipped cross border.

    Edit: Without having to deal with customs and pay import duties etc.

    It is one of my least favourite of the Bru beers. Still good, but hoping they get better.

    I got a free introduction offer box from Beer52 and had an awful lot of shenanigans to get it from customs.

    Apologies, should have been cleared in my (now edited) post - it is illegal to just order and have it delivered without paying import duties etc, but it is legal if you pay all the duties and charges.

    Somebody can probably think clearer than I can this morning!!!

    Huh, I thought as much. I saw a thread previously about a BrewDog order getting seized on the way in, and one would assume packages from the UK might be looked at more than in the past.

    No you also need a licence to import the alcohol.

    So that's a no to trying to order from the UK. I can do without the Verdant / Cloudwater stuff, unless it drops in price or forms part of a 4 for €X deal.
