12 x 440ml cans of Worlds End Imperial Stout (€51)

12 x 440ml cans of Ace of Haze Idaho 7 Edition (€43)

8 x 330ml Cans Kinsale Pale ale (€20)

8 x 330ml Cans Session (€20)

8 x 330ml Cans Ace of Haze (€20)

Total of €152.50

REDUCED TO JUST €77

Did anyone order this? I've had a 24 box of the pale ales delivered but no World's End or Ace of Haze Idaho 7. Is that maybe coming seperately? Not having any luck with my online orders of late...

I got it, arrived pretty quick with both boxes well taped together, give them a shout, they were very good when I had a previous order missing some stuff

That's the main thing that put me off getting any of the advent calendars. I'm just not a fan of that style at all and knowing my luck I'd end up with several of them in whatever box I bought.

Ha. Mixed boxes certainly aren't for me anymore but not because of sours - I'd happily take a mixed box of sours. There are just far too many beer styles out there that I have zero interest in drinking. I'd say I'd be lucky to want to drink a third of any box!

Yup, this maybe my last year of buying random beers in a mixed case. All too often do I find 1 gem that's nullified by at least 2 more in same box that just dont do it.

A mixed case that I can choose contents in future.

Mikkeller is keeping the balance just right IMO. I would hate to have it overloaded with IPAs which is always the fear from my POV.

Just received my White Hag & Friends too, wasn't quick enough off the mark to snag one of the 5 with the added Lambrate Tiramisu though which is a shame.
Actually forgot the content listing was so it was a nice surprise.

I got a notification from PayPal just before lunch that mine had shipped, so they're slowly working their way through them.

I ordered mine later in the afternoon (confirm email is 15.45) so I would assume its chronological.

Mine arrived at home. I think I was quick enough (10mins after email came in) but will find out when back.

EDIT: I wasnt quick enough.

Just checked, time on my invoice is 14.52, so I'd say you're right.

Nice! I would hope tomorrow is my day...! Doubt it will ship beyond lunch time.

Mine hasn't arrive.
Oh, maybe because I didn't order any:p

Wow... 10 minutes wasn't quick enough, that's a shame.
Still plenty of choice in it though.

Where would you recommend for either a variety pack of craft beer or a monthly sub?

Plenty of choices, had one of the pastry stouts and unfortunately like the other pastry ones theres an underlying sweetness almost a chemical sweetness that's not for me.

I'm sure the non pastry ones will go down well.

beercloud.ie do monthly beer box options - you can buy it each month or subscribe. Me and the brother in law have done them a few times. They've also a number of different style packs, and have started doing choose your own brewery packs recently too. They wouldn't be the cheapest, but all deliveries have been bang on for me, and their predominantly Irish beers.

Actually the history of it is basically Liam set it up to help other midland breweries at the start of lockdown and it's grown from there! A great example of the craft beer community working together.

beerclub and craft central also do monthly boxes, but I think you have to commit.

I bought some for myself and some as presents. Of three packages, I only received one today and DPD said they never got the other two. Fingers crossed they show up in the final deliveries.
