I ring them up and it’s done, and avoid the offers in the emails they send.

I have had no issues with beer 52. Free beer, take it or leave it

Nice collection of glasses. I had a load of them when I lived back in Ireland. Only took one case load with me to the US and have since purchased a small few here.

that's a very decent selection of glasses that, I got most of mine in Belgium and Germany as well as from a very good offy in Southampton. I also have these ones which weigh a tonne..!

You've either got 4 or you haven't. It's not difficult to count to 4. If you had said about 40 then I wouldn't have been intrigued.

It's like me saying I've got about 3 cars.

Beer52 is notoriously hard to cancel, hence why they give these out.

My Beer 52 golden tickets are still up for grabs, they will expire I think at the end of the month so 8 x free beers on offer. I need email/name to forward on the coupon - as mentioned you can cancel once the box arrives. I sent a coupon to a woman in a guesthouse in Southampton where my missus worked - got the case and owner cancelled, easy peasy

First 4 pm's to get the tickets

Just found both of these in 16oz cans. Didn't realize Allagash White was now canned. I'm happy, even those these are more summer beers than winter.

Duvel, a perfect beer what has been quite the week, for a beer available in most places its seriously good and you always get the same consistency with each bottle

The weekend has landed, and so has the beer, more eclectic fare from the folks at Electric Bear:

US style brown ale and chocolate caramel coffee stout. Splendid.

Do like a barley wine, a good one can go toe to toe with the Belgians.

Tonight’s offering from the wonderful Brimstage Brewery- Elder Pale Ale 4.1 %.

Delightful stuff, very subtle hints of Elder Flower and dangerously easy to drink !

Just picked these up. Great stuff. The Baltic Porter just won a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival. @riddick if you ever make it out to Staunton be sure to stop by Skipping Rock. Definitely a nice addition to Virginia's brewery scene.
