Best beer I’ve ever had at a gig. The band wasn’t bad either. 

Fucking hell Paddy! Saw them in Manchester last week and am currently in Leeds to see them tonight!

Nice, I’m seeing them in Camden in October as well. Enjoy mate. 

Was a pretty messy night in the end, we ended up in the Mikkeler pub after then made the mistake of getting on the Old Fashioneds in another place!

Just got my beermerchants box, five dupes and that Tegernsee Pils is bad at the best of times, let alone when it's out of date! Most of them are only a few weeks out and a couple still in date. Annoyed there's not stouts/dark beers, but thems the breaks!

Mine just arrived too. Got 4 x Beak in mine (2 types, 2 of each - and they're the only duplicates I've got), plus a couple of amazing sounding Gose things and several really strong stouts. Well happy!

[Remmie]

Oh man I didn't get any Beaks. I did get a load of unfamiliar beers and breweries though and that's the point really.

Absolutely - my brother ordered a couple of cases and although he's really happy with what he got, I think I really lucked out - as well as the Beak, mine had plenty of variety, no seltzers and lots I've never heard of before.

With the popularity of their mystery box I can see them increasing the prices in the future as their website is generally pretty expensive.

Good score!

I got two cases, only opened one. 3 I’d tried before and one dupe which I haven’t. I’ll take that. 
 

There’s a CBD infused one in there which sounds a little wild.

I just opened the thread to say about the cbd one, I have opened a can now. Double IPA at 8%. I cant detect any affects of the CB...hand on me phones going

I must say I am thoroughly enjoying seeing the contents of other mystery boxes, there is surprisingly few overlaps with the beers I think I have 6 or 7 of the same as Paddy and 5 the same as red or dead.

5 out of the box. Only one of the feathers!

 

The mystery box came back in stock when I was on holiday but couldn’t order as no one home to take it. 

What did you make of the feather fuckers?

The Neon one in my box is one of theirs. Can’t be any worse than the other one.

Yeah the pinkish one is ok, more like a cocktail than a beer. The silver one though, fucking grim

The silver one was disgusting, couldn’t drink it.

What's the brewery for that one? There's nothing as upsetting as a sink beer.

It’s Omnipollo, they are pretty experimental and expensive to boot. I’ve only had one of theirs so far and everyone has thought this is horrible.

Ahhh, I've had that one, it was in my previous mystery box.  I didn't mind it, gave it 3/5 on untappd, a bit sweet mind!

Unreal, you have my unqualified admiration for managing to get it down you.

Might be of some use to some of you guys... not sure if there is a thread for discount codes(?), but just got one for https://www.curatorsofcraft.co.uk - CRAFT10 for 10% off.

Decent selection and discounts where the BBE has slightly elapsed, which by looking at it, you can still apply the 10% off.

[Chip Butty]

On this through the week, absolute stunning. Smooth and damn fine.

 

[Section_31]

Cheeky little number.

For those of you in London, I had a disappointing one the other day. The Goose Island brew pub in Shoreditch is no more. They've sold up and the people who've taken it on won't be brewing onsite. At the moment they're selling off the goose Island stock and slowly introducing their own. Their single contribution to that was a Deya steady Rolling Man (which no doubt would please @Bruce Spanner ) but that's probably in another dozen pubs in that area and all of them have a pretty dull and standard selection of sessions and the Deya is the peak of their powers - while some of these pubs seem independent, it looks like they all must use the same distributor. Fingers crossed it won't be one of those pubs and the steady rolling man is there because there were quite a few goose Island heavy hitters on the menu and not so many light tasting (and light and) beers. Either way though I'm gutted as that was one of my favourite pubs.
