Orkney brewery Dark Island. Really enjoyed this, malty, coffee and chocolate.

And to finish, Tempest Brewing Co. Mexicake Chile and Chocolate Imperial Stout. At 10% this is a slow sipper with some well judged chilli heat. Got this and some of the other Scottish beers I’ve been enjoying this week from the excellent Oban Beer Seller ........ hopefully will have time for a...

Two towns down Dancing in the dark Stout......this was superb.

Richmond brewing co. Red Rufus Have tried a few beers from this brewery over the last week or so but none have really hit the spot for me.

Overtone Brewing Co. Chocolate Praline Stout Not as sweet as expected but some lovely chocolate flavours. Apologies for the misleading glass.....the Jail Ale was good but that is just a distant memory from last year’s holiday!

Skye Black. I can’t detect the promised Scottish heather honey but still a nice afternoon pint while the Bbq coals get going.

Blunt Chisel Brewery Woodsmoke Smoked Porter. Just remembered to take a pic before draining the glass!

I looked at placing an order from Germany yesterday: supermarket24 have removed UK from their list of countries that that will ship to, web-bier have a note saying (rough translation) "Dear British beer connoisseurs, It looks like there can be unlimited deliveries to you even after Brexit. But...

18L Woodfordes Admiral's Reserve 24L Brewferm Oranje Bock Total 31,537

My order from supermarket24 placed on 7th Dec arrived in two parcels, the first (6 bottles) on Wed 16th and the second (24 bottles) on Thur 17th. Not an unreasonable time especially at this time of year. Lovely beers so I'm happy. The packaging of the 24 bottles was not great, several bottles...

Six of these beauties arrived a day early from Germany (More to follow tomorrow) just in time to drink while joining in with carols on the doorstep tonight. Made me smile!

HSB: Take a look at this thread for some ideas on buying brown swing tops from Germany with pre-installed beer Swingtops Cheers! :beer1:

Wow that is far better service than I've ever had from them, excellent. Yes their packaging is superb, I've never had a broken bottle (not even on my first order with them when the box arrived showing signs of having been dropped somewhere in transit) Enjoy the beers !

My latest two brews: Woodfordes Norfolk Nog 23l Coopers Devil's Half Ruby Porter 23l Total 26,376.5 l

It's usually Marco that e-mails. I'll be really interested to hear how you get on, how did you actually place the order?

gibbo-sd: Thanks for the suggestion of supermarket24, I've just placed an order with them so will wait and see how it goes. I was interested to find out how they calculate shipping and by playing around putting various things in and out of the online shopping basket I discovered they charge...

Further to my earlier answer about duty and VAT: I just checked, the government website and it states "....from 1st January 2021...........you need to pay customs duties and VAT on all imports" For "beer made from malt in bottles holding <=10l" (commodity code 2203 0001) the duty rate stays...

No customs or VAT to pay, this was at least the 5th time I've bought direct from Germany and have never had to pay duty or VAT................but of course things are probably going to be different after Br***t is done next year. By the way, do also check out web-bier , less choice but much...

Generally I don't and to be honest I've been using some of my bottles for years without changing the ring. One or two have not felt tight when clipping them shut so I do then change the ring.

Samale: That price was for 30 bottles, it was a mixture of various styles and as mentioned some were 330ml and some 500ml The shipping cost is fixed for 30 bottles regardless of the size. I just checked, their website says Euros 13.79 for Ireland.
