It’s a long box of beer! Available today round here. I don’t think I’ve actually had anything from any of these breweries before.

How much was the box full?
Was hoping they'd bring this back. Will have to have a trip on Saturday.
£25 for 10x500ml.

I had this last year. Stunning beers. Will go and grab 2 if there are any in my local shop
My partner just happened to be stopping in our local Lidl on the way home and got me a box 
They had this on last year. Very good it was too. Love a Festbier. Far nicer than the Märzen style that was more prevalent a few years back.

I went in and there was 2 left on the shelves. Just beat another guy to them. Box for now and another for Xmas.
I had gone in especially and it was still hard to find them. With Halloween and Xmas filling the shelves these had been stacked to fill the smallest amount of shelf.

Yeah they were tucked in a small space but at least next to other beers so I managed to spot them.

Just got 3 for Xmas presents, including one for me, looks very promising.
Picked one up this week after missing out on the Aldi pack. I've drank four of them and, as usual, they've all been well worth the price tag if you like German beers. If only someone could offer similar value for money packs for British beers -- they're so often padded out with cheaply brewed garbage.

Picked one up at the weekend, they had quite a few in my local Lidl.
Got next week off for half term so I'll work my way through them then
Thanks for the tip off OP

I saw them in our local Lidl but didn’t buy as there was no description on the pack of the beers. Can anyone confirm what the beers are and what ABV? Thanks.
I think there a 3 Märzen, 1 Weissbier, and the rest are the lighter Festbier style. Most are 5+%.
It came with a booklet so I'll try to remember to get you a photo.
Apart from the Hofbraü and Schneider Weisse ones, they're by breweries you generally wouldn't see for sale in Britain.

Thanks there’s a picture on the box but no information.
A couple are wheat beers, the rest are festbiers, Marzen or otherwise. They're all north of 5% IIRC.
All the info is on the side of the box.

I’m convinced I’ll go and buy a box tomorrow if there’s any left.
