I remember looking at the offer of shares in brew dog you paid loads of money and got 10% discount, I checked the prices and with the discount the supermarket was still cheaper

Sell shares, make enough money for your supermarket.

Yeah, although a stoked broker I use sent an email ad about brew dog shares coming soon, deleted it without taking notice and it went from my trash before I got to read it.

I subscribe to Fyne Ales Mini Cask Club. 2 x 5l mini casks at £40per month incl delivery.
Have had some great beers, and can say hand on heart that none were disappointing

Maybe i am tight too , but you can brew a lot of beer for £40

You're right and I do.
But for a change and to support a local-ish brewery I think it's a pretty good deal

I've been gifted about 4 boxes as presents from different companies and have never felt the need to re-order. They've all been very bland. If I buy any beer, it's Sierra Nevada from Asda on promo-8 cans for £9.

I keep meaning to visit the local brewery here. It is only a small one, and their website isn't very informative, there's no mention of mail order. But it does say, 'Opening hours', so I assume there's a retail shop there. I certainly wouldn't mind a few bottles of their milk stout. I'll try and get there tomorrow.

Anyone a member of any?

I got a couple of Beer52 deliveries a while back and they were quite good but pricey.

I've seen that brewdog have jumped in and are offering 8 small "sessionable" (so low %) cans for £20 + £3.95 postage. For me they would be long gone in one night.

Is anyone actually paying £24 for that?

Anyone who does use them (a subscription service), which one, how much do you pay, and would you say it's worth it?

Just come across this thread.
The stuff you're talking about above is what we call "research material" isn't it? Don't we brew our own to avoid these hideous prices?
I wonder if research grants are available.
