    Been on Tavour for a few years now and the Bearded Iris offers are new there. I've picked up 4 IPAs and IIPAs and was pretty impressed!

    I'm navigating the app for the first time and I feel like I must be missing something. Are there really only 12 beers to choose from at a time?

    Yes. It will add 1-3 beers a day depending on the day. Sometimes I’ve gone 1 day without an update.

    Depending on how fast the sell them out, I’ve seen as few as 5 choices up at a time.

    If you're in, or will be in, Seattle, you can pick up at their facility. It's on 1st Ave, a couple blocks south of Mariners Stadium.

    Was so close to opening a box with a few bottles of Father of all Tsunamis. $15.99 is a few $ more than stores I think. Just can’t do it financially and feel good about it.

    Enjoy

    Anyone ever do the subscription? Looks like Free shipping and 12% discount, you can choose every 1,2 or 3 months, 6 or 12 beers

    Enjoy

    That has always interested me, but I've never tried it and don't know anyone who has. My concern is that I'd end up with a bunch of old hazy IPA's that are well past their peak. I guess you're allowed to veto anything that they automatically add to your box, but I feel like I'd be removing a lot of beers since IPA's seem to make up a majority of what they offer. That discount and free shipping is very appealing though.

    You can pick the type of beer you want. There is a stout, sour, ipa and cider category

    Enjoy

    That's good to know. I knew they only added items over a certain Untappd score, but did not know you could select styles. That's great.

    On a side note, I'm happy to say that I was able to buy the Bottle Logic x Listermann collab today, and it wasn't an awful price, $11.99/bottle, I believe.

    I was at a homebrewer event in Northern California last weekend, and someone brought a can of barleywine from Copper Kettle he said he bought from Tavour. Now I wouldn't buy beer to be shipped to me when I live in the middle of all these great ones here, but I grew up just a few miles from Copper Kettle in suburban Denver and they don't have distro here so I was happy to have a bit.

    Sorry to report this, but that location has been gone for quite a while. The current pickup location is:
    770 Andover Park E
    Tukwila, WA 98188
    Near Southgate Mall. Not a big move, but not as convenient for folks living North of Seattle, because of driving through Seattle, which is a pain now and will not improve in the future.

    Westbrook's Gates of S'mordor was the reason I opened a new box, and today the barrel-aged version hit the app. I'm very excited to be able to try both. Now to track down that Mexican Cake.

    You'll probably get it before I will then. I'm currently not scheduled to receive my box until 3/19. I'm hoping to add a few more items before it ships. If the reviews are to be believed, I think we'll both be in for a treat.

    Narrow Gauge just hit Tavour with DDH Fallen Flag, so that's awesome to see. As expected, it sold through pretty quickly. Hopefully there'll be others from them.

    Informative thread, but it's frustrating to see things like BA Westbrook & Narrow Gauge showing up for others & not on my app...especially when I have Westbrook on my "always notify" list.

    It's a great app. I wish there was more info on how the hell it works!

    This chaps my ass too, Tavour says they can not yet deliver to Tennessee residents at least in my area but they can deliver Tennessee breweries beer out of state? Messed up laws IMO
