BEER CLUB! Liberté, égalité, beer not tea

There's 2 rules to Beer club & paraphrasing fight club is both of them

So I've been planning this blog for a while

a full account of the Voucher deal on beer club

but I still haven't received the ale so I haven't got the full experience but enough taste of it to blog a little about my experiences up to now

So here is the Mightydeals & Beer52 situation update

Julie got me the first month on discount via Mightydeals 

& I am not happy about whats happened

It would seem that the online discount voucher service is mainly to blame

they made it seem like you just paid them & you got 8 beers delivered, no reg, no sub.

It has since been changed on their website to include the details of the rolling subscription 

but since Beer52 upon redemption of the offer sent me a package with the code to get the first month & therein subscribe & give card details etc makes Beer52 complicit in this

Why wasn't I just emailed the codes with instructions to subscribe

because whilst that code & bottle opener was being sent to me & I could track it

it seemed that I had been bought the beers for the offer price with no subscription 

& would encourage all my friends to do likewise, luckily I waited to see what beers were actually sent before recommending.

I was for a time really made over, I ordered on the 19th of December and the 'package'

was received on Christmas eve but when I returned from work to find a voucher

that was a let down 

I subscribed & even then my thoughts on Beer52 were largely positive 

I thought £24 for 8 beers, when you see the specialist beer shop prices it's OKAY

but the P&P being free makes it tempting because of the hassle of going out of your way to those spec shops. 

I was going to let the subscription run.

I only work part time so my beers for Christmas were a bit limited so with the time frame of the previous package I'd have the beers for New Year's eve 

Like previously the Monday morning I got the tracker & this time it didn't update

just before midnight I received another tracker that has shown the package stuck at the depot local to beer 52

So I ended up celebrating Hogmanay with the bottles of Fursty Ferret & Ruddles County that a friend dropped off hearing I was beerless on NYE

I was drinking Weird beard & Cheshire Brewhouse, what a bloody comedown.

Now the second tracker had 'Fragile Glass' which the first didn't so reading between the lines
perhaps the first one got smashed by the courier 

in which case why the hell didn't they inform me?

So I won't let the subscription run now,

I've spent most of the day reading about peoples further experiences with Beer52
and it seems the main gripe is how difficult it is to cancel their membership/subscription.

I'll cancel my subscription when (or maybe IF) the beers arrive 

and if I have problems I'll just cancel my card if 

which will be such an inconvenience I probably start a campaign highlighting Beer52's flaws
