Beer52: Beer Subscription Box
Subscription boxes have become all the rage recently; you can buy monthly beauty boxes, food boxes and now the subscription world have moved to alcohol. Yes, that’s right, you can now sign up to have a box of 8 beers delivered to your house every month. Beer 52* pride themselves on delivering exclusive beer brewed at microbreweries and I was lucky enough to receive a box to try out for myself (although my Dad was very happy to help me out!) I will briefly go through the beers I received in a little bit of detail; if you’re interested in beer, keep reading for a discount code!
The India Pale Ale from the Loose Cannon Brewery was a straw golden colour, which tasted hoppy and malty with a sweet fruity flavour. Loose Cannon promised a floral flavour which we couldn’t really taste but it was a tasty beer nonetheless. Next we tried the Dubbel from the Savour Brewery. This was a dark beer with hints of sweetness and a chocolate and toffee finish. It was a stronger beer at 7% and we enjoyed the fruity and luxurious taste
The Hardknott Azimuth was a very citrusy beer, with a golden colour. It both smelt and tasted of orange and I enjoyed the zesty taste. Next we tried what was probably both of our’s favourite beer of the bunch: the Valente’s Double Espresso from the Black Wolf Brewery. It was a very dark beer with a strong coffee and caramel smell. It had a wonderful creamy coffee taste and the combination of coffee and beer was sure to be a winner!
Our next beer was the Killer Cat Circus IPA from Malmesbury Brewery, which came out orange and slightly cloudy. It smelt very strongly of vanilla and tasted fruity and mildly hoppy – although not as strongly of tropical fruit as the brewery suggested. The Friday’s pale ale by Septum brewery was also a golden orange colour. It has a citrus peach scent, which I always enjoy, and a floral hoppy taste.
The final two beers were also citrusy; the first being the Broadway Blonde California Pale from London Fields Brewery. It was dark golden with a slight citrus/lime aroma. The taste was fresh and crisp, with no particular notes, but very pleasant. Finally we finished the box with the Bleddyn Crafterd Ale from the Celtic Experience Brewery. It smelt delicious and very strongly of pink grapefruit and had a sweet taste, with a slight grapefruit tang.
Even better – you can get your first box for even less if you use the discount code JESS10 for £10 off!
