Wouldn't waste the ones I have left for a festival though. Only managed to get 1 of each but I'm quite scared of drinking them considering the size and voltage of them!

Tomjoll Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Elvis juice is £6 for 4 at a the moment making them a bit cheaper than Amazon and beer hunter https://m.tesco.com/h5/groceries/r/www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=294127619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking to get some Elvis juice and best I can see is Amazon. But was wondering if any good sites possibly with a welcome offer 10% off that sort of thing? Aside from the morality of using Amazon (£12m UK tax paid on £5.3bn UK turnover), you also need to be careful of their delivery dates on booze - they sometimes offer cheap prices but can't actually deliver for ages. Always worth looking around but I've found Beerhawk.co.uk to compare favourably to anyone else, both in terms of range and price. There is a student discount, and they used to offer a 10% discount on your first order if you signed up to their email newsletter - not sure if that's still going. Another good option, although not for Brewdog, is Craft Metropolis. This is a beer club that you sign up to get 1-3 monthly deliveries of 12 beers a time, but its USP is you can choose your own beers (and they have loads of cans, including Beavertown and Magic Rock, as well as bottles). I think you can find a half-price code if you look around, and you might well be able to pause/cancel your subscription after that... I'd be interested to know what other online options people recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkSoda Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Thanks for all the help guys, think I might head up to Tesco this afternoon. Seems early to get a glasto stash sorted. Will have to get someone to hide it so I don't break into it early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madyaker Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Anyone know a place in Bristol city centre that would have a decent selection of ales in cans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiosmith Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Anyone know what Brewdog tastes like warm(ish)? They're doing 4 Punk IPA for a fiver at Tesco (I know it's the worst one but after Tubourg it will be a godsend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clearest Blue Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'll definitely be utilising my 20% online discount to stock up on Elvis Juice and Punk before the fest, in my opinion both are delicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Sir Robin Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 The Brewdog website has free delivery (usually £5) this weekend with code FACEBOOKFREE. Ends midnight Monday. They have a very tasty looking new fruity IPA in cans, but it's 7.5%... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 I've started compiling my beer stash, I'm going full-on craft w*nker this year I've got some cans of Gun brewery's excellent whisky aged imperial stout at 7.4%, as it works gloriously well when unchilled - and I've got to get a few Beavertown smog rockets, and some Tailgate peanut butter milk stouts - alongside my standard 'cooking bitter' of Hobgoblin. Couple of posh ones a day, and four normals - plus whatever I get from the bars as I'm going past - and that's me sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The60ftOctopus Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Does anyone have any recommendations for fruity craft beer? Similar to Pogo (one of my favourites), Elvis Juice, Juicedelic, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, they are cheaper (depending on what and how much you're buying). Though delivery to your door - or the door of your nominated driver - may be worth the difference. In fact in terms of supermarkets, it seems Asda and Morrisons are both cheaper for Brewdog than Tescos (or their own site) - £5.50 per 4-pack for Dead Pony (my preferred session ale, along with St Austell Tribute) or Punk.

Gwladboy Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Totally agree with comment about poor Ale at Glasto. Went to Greenman last year, they had 50 Ales and 50 Ciders, all Welsh. With so many breweries in the South West you'd think they could do better than Otter. Edited May 27, 2017 by Gwladboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Lawn Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Personally I'm not a beer drinker, but I did think it would be nice to have some around for some variety (main booze workhorse is rum, bolstered by gin for when things are calmer, and tequila for when we're in a fun mood, also taking a bottle of port to see how that goes down, and some VKs for nostagia), so I looked at how much it would be to get some Beavertown tins, with them being the only craft dickhead ale I really get on with. £24 for 6! Small cans at that. They're really nice, but they aren't that nice. Brewdog stuff seems to be cheap, but I don't really think they're that nice, also they scream about how punk they are, while seeming like massive corporate tryhards.
