Online Retailers

This post is nothing more than a shameless plug for two online beer retailers I have sourced beer from recently. Last week I posted about some pretty ordinary service when dealing with Utobeer at Borough Market and gave a shout out to these guys. But I felt a full post would be more fitting. Please support the guys mentioned below when restocking your beer supplies.

Beer Ventures are a specialist beer company run from Dorset. I have been dealing primarily with Andrew who has provided excellent customer service and has matched beers to my requirements perfectly. Service is really quick (literally less than 24 hours) and the prices are extremely competitive compared to Utobeer and more in line with the prices you will pay at Tesco. I had the fortune of meeting Andrew's sister recently and she seemed like a top bird as well, with a love of all things Belgian. Andrew also runs a blog - Adventures in Beer.

BEERmerchants.com is the e-commerce site for Cave Direct. A family owned business started in 1979 to source and distribute top quality beers from all over the world - many of which are very hard to find in the UK and all from craft brewers who are passionate about quality. I recently met Phil from Beer Merchants at BrewDog's launch of Zeitgeist and he seemed very knowledgeable and approachable. Service from Beer Merchants is also very good and they even threw in a Duvel T-shirt for free. Phil has a blog which you can check out here.

Since your last post on these guys I checked them out. Beer merchants are getting an order from me as soon as I can work out how to get it delivered when someone is in. Glad to hear there are nice folk running these places. Are you getting a discount for plugging them?

Hi CG aka Alex,
I just had my deliveries made to work. No dramas. I am sure if you got in contact with either of these guys they will be able to help you out. Don't be afraid to tell them that I sent you!

I'd also like to add, that Avery's outfit is giving away Carlton Cold t-shirts with a minimum purchase of 50 pounds. This 100% cottom t-shirt is perfect for beer videos, where you want your fans to be aware of your discerning taste!

Carlton Cold, classy!

This was the only beer they had at Top Gear Live recently, and although it was warm I thought $6.80 was a fair price.
