-> -> Hi, I am interested in one of the beer in a box offers that are
-> -> available (saw some ads in the Camra newsletter). I was wondering
-> -> which you thought was the best of those on. In the pub I quite like
-> -> Deuchars, Pedigree and Abbeydale Brewery of Sheffield stuff. So
-> -> which box should I go for - and how long do they keep once opened?
->
-> IME they'll keep up to about a fortnight if kept pretty cool, outside
-> in a garage works for me at this time of year. What you buy depends
-> on what you like but you might find buying in person from the brewery
-> gate much cheaper than the advertised prices for these boxes. I
-> bought a polypin of one of my favourite bitters at Christmas for £38
-> by going to the brewery in person, find one near you and give them a
-> ring
->
Or if you have a friendly landlord, who sells the beer you're after, get the brewery to deliver to the pub and pick it up there. As a neighbour of mine did for a bbq he had. The landlord even stored it in the cellar so it was nice and cool.
It only lasted the night though :)
