tongue_tied_danny Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) My Beer52 order arrived this morning. It was the free first month shipment for £5.95 postage. I don't really want to pay £24 a month for 8 beers so I cancelled my subscription. It says that you have to phone but they were busy so I emailed them and they replied pretty quickly with some sob story that they are sorry to see me go and promising rewards if I come crawling back. They said the next order would be £16. It is tempting but I don't want to turn this into some kind of soap opera pish so I'm making a clean break. The beers themselves look pretty interesting. There's even a black pepper IPA that I'm keen to try. There's also a bag of some chickpea snack and a magazine. A pretty decent haul for £5.95.

Eight beers a month is a nice amount of booze for me, and there’s some great stuff. Including this porter, which is a top five all time for me. Glorious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black pepper IPA has absolutely no pepper in it to my taste. YMMV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many people actually keep the subscription going as everyone I know has always cancelled after receiving their first 'free' box. I've had my subscription for over a year and have gone all in for the 12-pack upgrade. Don't think I've ever been disappointed although amber/red ale is the only style I haven't really been taken with so far. Maybe I just haven't met the right one yet... Also have an Honest Brew subscription, which might be a better move for some folk as you choose the beers yourself. As well as stand-alone orders, you can pay into their "beer bank" membership every month and this also gets you 10% off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to keep it going but TBH it is more than I want to pay and getting the parcels delivered when I go back to work will just be a pain in the hoop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love Dark Island and even had it installed as a cask ale in the bar I ran in the 90s. Lovely stuff. Imagine my dismay when I took a swig and damn near spat it out. Foul, foul, foul stuff. Either it's changed or I have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
