We were recently sent* a selection of beers for D to review from Beer52. Beer52 are an online beer subscription service were you can buy a one off box or a monthly subscription. The longer you sign up for the cheaper it costs, signing up monthly costs £24 which after deducting the price of the magazine and snack means each craft beer is under £2.20.
Beer52 was started by James Brown who discovered his passion for craft beer during an epic road trip from his home in Edinburgh to Faro, on the back of his dad’s Harley-Davidson. Stopping at tiny pubs and brewhouses along the way, he found beers that were not only delicious, but that he’d never heard of before.
We were sent a box of 8 craft beers, Santa Paws, Mikkeller, Littlebro, Mordue – Krampus, Wiper and True, Rouge, Fuck Art and Flower Power Hippy Dippy All Things Pretty. You also receive a snack which this month was chilli bites. Ferment magazine is included in the box which can also be bought separately for £4.99. Ferment is the UKs number 1 craft beer magazine with expert contributors and exclusive interviews.
Now I was hoping for a really in depth review of the taste of each beer from D (I think I was imagining it to be a bit like that blonde woman who used to taste the wine on the cooking show) but I didn’t get it, however I did get how good they were, saw his face light up as he was reading the names out to me and the oohh, that’s a good one Jen, ooh this one doesn’t have a label…oh yer it does, it’s called Fuck Art! He was really impressed with the selection and said he would love to sign up and would recommend it as a Christmas present. I wonder if that was a hint to me?
If you would like to try it or send a box as a gift, I have a code to give you £10 off, making a box £14. A perfect stocking filler or secret santa gift. Pop over to Beer52 and use the code CHILLING10
I’m not a fan of beer but I know so many people are really in to their craft beers. This is a great way to try different ones or a gift for someone at Christmas.
Mikkeller are quite possibly the world’s best brewery in my opinion – which Mikkeller beer did you get?
I am not a big beer drinker I prefer flavoured cider. But the packaging on those are so incredibly festive they look like a lovely drink for a beer drinker this Christmas! I’ll see if I can pass this discount code on to friends!
Not a bad price for the box at all – pretty reasonable. Haha, the in depth review was all in the face x_x
Such a good price, my husband would probably enjoy this more than I would as he really likes beer. Might look into this, thank you for sharing your experience!
I do love a good beer and I have not heard of beer 52 so this sounds brilliant! I would love a nice beer now.
What a lovely gift idea, I know my other half would love this x
My dad would love this he is very much into his beer and trying a range of different ones.
These sound great, my husband would love this as he loves trying different beer.
I’m not much of a beer drinker, but I do know many love craft beers. This would be a great gift for the beer drinker in your life. I had no idea this was something available!
As a huge beer fan, this looks a great idea. I might have to drop a few hints for Christmas,
A BEER subscription box!!! this is awesome! I might actually have to gift this for the hubs and at £14 with the discount code amazing!
In the ferment magazine it says it is mikeller session ipa, 4.3%. Aromas of ripe, tropical fruits and a hint of citrus. Overall lightbodied, crisp and hoppy, ending on a dry and bitter note x
These sound fantastic! My uncle would love something like this.
What a lovely idea! I adore seeking out and finding new ways to enjoy beers and ales.
I like a good beer, but this looks like a perfect gift for my brother in law.
My OH would love this as a gift. He’s really into his craft beer and having a selection to try would be amazing!
What a fab idea. Love hearing about subscription boxes. Know a few people who love craft beers and something like this would be perfect for them! x
This would make a great gift idea for my dad, I love the fact there are so many choices to suit everyone’s taste buds
Looks like a brilliant gift, my dad would love something like this
Ooh my boyfriend would love this! Such a great idea for a sub box.
Sounds like a great service, my Dad would love this! xo
We are not much of beer drinks but I know a few friends who would love this sub box with the variety of beers
Such a great idea. I buy quite a few craft beers for Christmas gifts.
My husband and brother love this sort of thing. Great idea to put as part of a bigger Christmas present.
Sounds great and as you say, it’s ideal as a christmas present or any sort of present, people who like beer will love this gift. Discount code will come in very handy too!:)
