Posters with advent calendars keep us updated with what's behind each door

Very jealous!

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.

Noticed that the Galway Bay 200 Fathoms box has been refunded to my credit card. This happen to anyone else?

I paid via PayPal - nothing's come back to me.

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?

irish_goat · 30-11-2020 03:05PM

Got the email from Galway Bay confirming the order and the PayPal email receipt. Might drop them a message sure.

Yeah I'd defo be giving them a shout, seems strange.

Craft Central.ie promising plenty of new releases tomorrow including a whole load of Verdant (with pretty hefty price tags), Wander Beyond (UK), x2 from O Brother, a couple from Third Circle (maybe more so restocks), Whiplash's 3fe collab, Rye River's Maple Brunch, a gingerbread ale from Larkin's.

Beerclub Day 1

That is a great start to December

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.

Still a lovely beer though, starting with a banker.

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!!!

Pen Rua · 01-12-2020 11:59AM

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.

Pen Rua · 01-12-2020 12:08PM

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.

Basq · 01-12-2020 10:28PM

Anyone get any word from Black's on the deal towards end of last week? Would have thought it may have shipped by now.

Beerclub Day 2 : Tastes Like Sumt'n from Crafty Bear Brewing.
Had it in bottle form back 2 years ago but not the canned version.

Can we be careful in revealing Advent Calendar entries without spoiler tags? It’s half the fun!

I’ve CraftCentral Day 2 wrapped in the fridge.. and I’d be pretty peeved if they revealed it before I opened it.

Though bear in mind, they did reveal it on social media around 9pm last night. Luckily had opened it before I saw! :mad:
