I did this

then when I went to cancel I got money off the next one

and then a free upgrade to 10 cans per month as opposed to 8

still subscribing months later, tends to be a decent selection each month

a case arriving today in fact

£29 for 10 cans

most of which are ones you don't tend to find in the shops / supermarkets so always a voyage of discovery

Aye 

They make their money by making it hard to cancel

Same with mobiles.co.uk 

Cheaper deals than you can get direct with the carrier (as they re invest their own commission in it) then you have to unsubscribe to the insurance and tech helpline which costs £20 a month

It isn't hard to cancel, I just liked what they offered to stay

If you don't want another month with a discount or free upgrade, you can do one

As it turns out I'm happy enough they persuaded me to stay

There's another one, flavourly, gave them a whirl, didn't like the offering, so ignored their offers to stay, and left

I did beer52 a few years ago for about 9 months. It's belting until you get a porter. Grim! 

Think there was a thread on here the same as this. 

Like the idea but I’m too lazy to sort anything like that out. 3 bottles of moretti for £5.50 or 3 magners/bulmers for £5 in B.B. near me is too easy.

£2.90 for a 330ml can? Sounds a bit steep that. Are they worth it?

4 for 6 quid or 2 quid a bottle for a special is my limit

8 cans of jaipur is 10 quid in morrisons

I fucked it off and said I'll just buy craft beers myself. 

Only bought San Miguel in bulk or punk ipa since. I haven't got the hipster beard to be getting into the provenance of the ale I'm drinking.

Did the trial one just before Christmas. Wasn’t too bad but I think I’m too much of a creature of habit for it - I know what I like and I’d rather have them than try something new. 

 

Thoroughly enjoying Brewdog’s Elvis Juice at the minute

Some times, not always, but I find if it's flavour you're after more often than not you have to pay more

The brew dog stuff works just fine for me, quite happy to drink it but it's not as good as it used to be, same goes for Brooklyn, Sierra Nevada, beavertown and all the other stuff that went mass produced

Even the better supermarket cans are getting on for £3 these days

Was in spar earlier and it was 4 cans of bud light for £2 and it made me wish I'd never discovered craft beer

That Beer52 advertises constantly on my learning to speak Spanish app all the time

Was interested but can't get past Aldi's stuff at the moment

Their Williams Brothers (?or whatever it's called?) craft lager and grapefruit IPA are just superb stuff to sup in the sun

Interesting this. Dark beer covers quite a range, I was weaned on mild (Tetley's) yet found black cat mild (moorhouses?) like drinking fur!

Never was into stout, but could accommodate guiness more than some of the so called lighter porters etc.

I did Beer52 for a while, but seeing as I fucking hate grapefruit, I wasn't getting he best value for money and binned it.

I had an account in my name and one in the wife's when they did a daft promotion a few yrs back. After I cancelled them, they carried on sending them for 4 more months, so I probably broke even after chucking the grapefruit one down the bog.

think these days it pretty much just means stout / porter

craft don't do mild or bitter yet

mate is into his stouts and doesn't fuck about - 10%+ every time

some decent stuff there for the price - the wild west IPA and the Chinook pale both nice and about £1.25 or something
