beer clubs

i seem to recall that chris crossland was baught a subscription to a beer club for christmas. where he will recieve X amount of bottles of various beers everymonth.

ive had a quick look on google, but cant find anything that looks particularly great. has anyone else subscribed to a beer club?.. where they a fuckin rip off [like the one i found on google] .. was it worth the money?... and above all else.. was the beer anygood?

well this is one that i found on google

beer club of britain

it seems decent enough.. drinks vary from, european beers, to english ales.. but its a damn rip off.. �40 + �7 P+P for 20 bottles, is damn expensive .. and you only get them every 3 months. plus unless im reading it wrong.. its �40 for every 3 months

It's very expensive, yeah. But it depends how much you like tasting different beers! If you enjoy it, go for it, I'm sure I will at some point. There are some great beers out there after all.

I did a wine one a while back, but cancelled it after my first package, as I was a bit let down. Wasn't worth the money in my opinion, but it might just have been a bad company.

not a club per se jay but there are thousands of microbreweries here these days. http://www.uk-pub-sales.net/uk-microbreweries/ for example. I'd look at hunting stuff down from them.

Several of my friends got some of these things for Christmas. I'll have to ask them if they like them/which ones they get, once they start getting shipments.

i didn't ask you ian.

go habs go.

a beer club is only good if you live in a place that has shit selection. You end up paying more in general for many beers that you could buy locally without paying shipping.

Posted by Silky Johnson on Jan-05-2010 22:12:

On that note, I think I'll have a beer.

Beer is for pussies.

*makes a Martini*

Posted by Schadenfreude on Jan-05-2010 22:21:

i bet you made yourself a cosmo.

fag.

My extended family was all out for dinner at this restaurant in Vancouver a few months ago after an art show. Several people ordered shit, I ordered a martini, one of my cousins ordered a margarita, my mother ordered a cosmo, and then my other cousin did too. Both cousins are male. It was epic fail.

vodka martini = win

anything gin = fail

i hate perfumed liquor and anything with juniper berries.

Posted by Silky Johnson on Jan-05-2010 22:32:

Vodka martini straight up with a twist, or dirty ftw. OMG love dirty martinis.

Posted by Schadenfreude on Jan-05-2010 22:33:

yeah olives pwn hard.

Posted by Lews on Jan-05-2010 22:38:

So you're saying a green apple vodka martini is win?

Gay.

No, but seriously vodka is win.

The best win, however, is gin + vodka + kina lillet + lemon peel. Delicious.

Posted by Schadenfreude on Jan-05-2010 22:39:

who said anything about apples?

*say that while fish hooking your mouth.*

You should have bought the next round, then get them straight gin to grow a chest hair or two.

Gin tastes about as good as Ricardo Villalobos' ass after a night of partying.

Posted by Schadenfreude on Jan-05-2010 22:47:

his ass tastes like guinea pig, oh i know all too well.

Got it from http://www.amazingclubs.com/beer.html

So far all the beers i have tried are rank lol. Each case comes with 12 bottles. 4 different kinds of beers x3. I think it's pretty cool after I try it i can save a bottle and collect all these different beers you usually wont find or even bother to try.

Most of them taste like butt, though it's nice to collect them.

how to know someone is inept with women 101:

first lesson: they decorate with empty booze bottles and xmas lights.

Posted by Chris Crossland on Jan-06-2010 00:52:

Ah ha! My bottles are full!

But yeah christmas lights are up.
