I was tempted by that offer too, put a few in the cart, (they've got the biggest selection to pick from that they've had for a while) but decided against it in the end. I'm well stocked at the moment and with Black Friday and potential new kegs coming up thought it best to hold off.

Not sure what a a clove tastes like so can't really say if it has a strong taste of them!

Not tried that one yet but have heard good things about it.

I'm working my way through the second keg of Schneiders at the moment.

If you're a British Gas customer they have a Virgin wines offer at the moment 12 bottles and a decanter for £80 saving you over £100.

I just placed an order as a Christmas present for my Mum.
They also have an offer for £21 worth of gardening stuff (plants, compost and a book) and you only pay for postage that I also ordered.

Beer Hawk are doing a Black Friday deal for the Perfect Draft on its own for £199. Or you can get is with selected kegs and glass for approx £230.

You can buy it using Klarna too.

Has anyone used or purchased a Fizzics Draftpour machine before?

Seems like a massive waste if time and money.

Interesting. I’m not a fan - the beer’s OK but the company is run by shitheads - but it is good to see non-InBev brands on Perfect Draft.

I think they might have overestimated the stampede for Punk IPA. The first batch still hasn’t sold out yet.

Ive not ordered any.

As they're not limited edition or they're not doing any sort of set as I'm well stocked up I'm happy to wait. I guess a lot of people will have stocked up with the Black Friday offers.

Ah heck, I’ve just had a delivery today. Maybe I’ll pick one up later, if they’re still around. Cheers for the tip.

No suggestion its a limited edition.

Looking at the prices on their website it could be a very expensive keg.

I had my Christmas beer delivered today.
50/50 mix of normal and alcohol free for the times we drive to relatives (depending on lateral flow tests) in the next few weeks.

Not bad really, with discounts etc, £81 in all. So £0.84 a can thereabouts

All stocked up here too. Five kegs. No alcohol-free though. I don’t intend leaving the house for the next three weeks.

I got a Tiny Rebel advent calendar. My general opinion of Tiny Rebel is when they get it right, they're brilliant, but they have gone far too gimmicky. Still, the idea of 25 brand new beers that they claim will never be available anywhere else was too intriguing to pass up. The first couple of weeks, they kept things simple and it was great. A nutella stout was one of the best things I think they've ever done. Today though sums everything I dislike about them, as they've gone and made a Bloody Mary ale. It's predictably disgusting.

Stella Artois Unfiltered on Perfect Draft. Think I’ll pick up one of those next week.

Doing a dry January this year but have decided to sample the various alcohol-free beers on offer. My findings so far:

Bira Moretti - was alright, but nothing to write home about
Heineken - tastes like beer, I wrote home about it

Heading to Sainsybobs later so will see what other brands are out there.

Erdinger Alkoholfrei wheat beer - very nice, tastes like beer

Leffe Blond 0.0% - very nice, really don't think I could tell the difference between that and a normal one.

The journey continues!

Something new tonight.

Crew Republic Drunken Sailor IPA 6.4%

Have been really looking forward to trying this. It's reviewed very well.

It's very nice, but I was expecting to be blown away. It's been a while since I last had Jaipur but it seems quite similar to that.
