    Shop bought beer in a Swing top bottle

    Well this is a good, timely reminder as I was thinking about what beer to get in for Christmas as now we are having the inlaws over. What was the total cost all in from biermarket if you don't mind me asking?

    Priming 5l Kegs vs bottles

    Priming 5l Kegs vs bottles

    Apologies for hijacking the thread slightly but I am looking to buy a couple of mini kegs and am looking at the Dark Farm ones (when they come back in stock) would you guys recommend them? Or what are the alternative SS mini kegs you would recommend?

    Shop bought beer in a Swing top bottle

    Yeah my maths was a bit off, I didnt take into account the total weight. Also +1 for Starling, I can't believe I didn't think to use that instead of the convenience of PayPal! I also tried a couple of the beers last night, they did not disappoint. The bottles look decent just need to delabel...

    Mine also arrived today, sadly one bottle was broken in transit but the rest are OK and will be sampled during the football later. Was going to complain but one bottle is annoying but not the end of the world. Would definitely do this again!

    Shop bought beer in a Swing top bottle

    Apparently tesco and Asda stopped stocking it so Asahi decided to stop brewing it all together which is a bit gutting as i like the bottles and although the beer isnt amazing it isnt the worst!

    Shop bought beer in a Swing top bottle

    Now that Grolsch is no longer being sold in the UK, does this mean that there is no longer a reasonably priced shop bought beer in a 450/500ml swing top bottle in the supermarkets? I havent seen any in Aldi (Birmingham) for a while. I am resigned to having to order empty ones but before i do I...

    Beer Crates

    I've had a mare

    Around 4 weeks ago I started off an extract kit (IPA from LHBS) in a rush and for various reasons mainly illness and being away I've not had chance to bottle it. It's been sat in the fermenter with temp control for 4 weeks unopened but I have no idea if it has fermented out as i didn't take a...
