Founders Breakfast Stout

cheers for the tip off

have had most versions of Founders breakfast stout when in the US - but welcome a re-visit

have you ever used beermerchants before?

i've always been put off by the 'wooly' delivery statement (next 5 working days!!!)

thats pretty piss poor in this day and age when you contrast with BOE where you will either get the beers the next day or the day after depending on when you order, so can plan to be around to take delivery

do beermerchants allow a neighbour to sign or leave the delivery round the back, anyone?

 

cheers AEK,

I've sent them an email asking them what the nearest depot is to where I live as my neighbours aren't always around!

btw - you get used to the new forum in time, truth be told it's a better piece of kit than the old one and almost everyone has now re-surfaced !

 

Thanks for the tip off but like ruds I've also been put off by what seems to be a rather obtuse delivery policy.
Anyway, don't know how I missed this as I swear I was only looking at beer merchants two or three days ago and bang there's a ton of new beer and so much of it is already gone. Bugger!

 

Got a KBS but actually more excited about the Windsor and Eton beers! Someone was recommending the Republika earlier if I remember rightly.

 

Cool, thanks for the info. I've taken the plunge and picked some up, along with a few other beers. This is the second internet beer order this week - I'm really going to have to control myself for a while.....

And welcome back! It mayn't look like much but the atmosphere is good.....

 

Yeah - I picked up 2 breakfast stouts and then one each of the other available beers (porter, pale ale and red rye). Not cheap, but I hope they'll be good. Besides, how often does one have an opportunity like this?

 

2 less red rye and 2 less breakfast stouts available, heading my way amongst a few other items!

 

I got a Founders Porter, must have been just before it went out of stock lol.

 

How long til i get the email saying they were out of stock when I ordered it so can't have it? Law of sod damn it. That happened last year with SN Celebration on BoE. They didn't say anything though, just didn't send it and refunded the £3.

 

I love Red's Rye! I'm not touching these though- too rich for my wallet and I'm heading to NJ/PA in June, so I'll be able to get my hands on these for cheapies. I hope you enjoy them though- like others have said; the breakfast stout and porter are also fantastic.

 

Still haven't bought the FBS. I only want a couple and there's nothing else on the site that real grips me so I might give it a miss. Bad move??

 

Surely there's something you like? Have you seen the stuff from Southern Tier - quite a range of goodies....

 

They have they full range of Windsor and Eton bottles which i've heard good things about, as well as The Kernel and Meantime beers.

 

Beermerchants are pretty good and have a nice range of beers but their delivery prices annoy me - it costs more to ship to me in Northern Ireland than it does to ship to Belgium !!
