Once a year seems a bit too far spaced out. I'd go every season if people were up for it. Make this one the Summer version and let's do it again in September for Autumn.

I was thinking from a cost point of view it may get a bit much. If was a little later say Drink Day in June it would mean Secret Santa and this being 6 months apart and it wouldn't get too expensive. Every 3 months it may get too much for people.

Mafro : wub: (I won't text you at 2am using the number on the invoice, promise ;) )

I will say I've got a great selection of Scottish! I've had the innis and gunn before and it was ace, but i've not had any of the others before, so looking forward to my son going to bed to get stuck in :)

It must also be said that the craft bottle co use amazing packaging!

I spent £12 on mine. Compared to what most here spend on videogames every month, that's nothing, surely? If you can't afford it, don't sign up, I guess? It's probably more expensive for a night out at the pub.

Well, I'm up for it, anyway.

I guess next month we should plan a day to receive more rather than hoping for the best, whether we will be in.

When I miss stuff it just goes to the neighbour or the delivery office which is a 15 minute walk so it's never really a problem. Mine arrived via APC and gave them neighbour address. You can advise RM wether you have a preferred neighbour and I'm also thinking those delivery droppoffs at places like B&Q and sainsbury could he helpful but I'm not sure who does that.

A month and a half tbf. There wasn't a slip through the door today and it's a Bank Holiday on Monday so there'll be no post. Was looking forward to having some drink while watching the Champions League final so I'm just going to strawberry float off to the shops now and buy my own.

Enjoy your stuff LewisD. Love that Innis & Gunn rum ale.

Delivery update: got a failed delivery notice a couple of days ago from a company called Nightline Delivers. Rang them up, was told 1) they wouldn't re-deliver unless I could guarantee I would be home, 2) they don't do Saturday redeliveries, 3) their depot was closed when I tried going there today.

I'll try again on Monday, but considering it's a bank holiday, there's a very good chance that it's getting sent back to Skarjo (since that's going to be the last realistic chance I have of getting to their depot this week, and the note states that the parcel is getting sent back if it wasn't collected within a week).

First beer, the IPA, is in the process of being drunk.

I can't quite describe the taste :lol: It's good, but unlike anything I've ever drank.

Gonna dig into this food now 8-)
