Dhillons Free Beer (2 Viewers)

Has anyone bagged any of the Black Friday free beer from Dhillons? I presume they'll send some details to when you can collect as all I got was an order confirmation.

Which beer is free?

 

[David O'Day]

if it's the ghosttown or Sky Blue lager then free is still a bit too much

It's a mixed hamper, 12 cans. I had Ghosttown and SBL in the past, couldn't give the stuff away when people came round. It's awful.

I haven't ordered any so no idea how you get it.

I used to like the beer in the Tavern but since going to the brewery a lot more, a lot of it is like piss water and much more expensive.

Exactly, as I said free is a bit pricey for GT and SBL

It's weird that as they have got bigger, a lot of their beer tastes more like homebrew than it used to. Maybe they used to care more.

When the Carling is better than your brewery's own lagers you have a problem

Saw they gave out free beer for life to the players who won the cup in ‘87. Benno will drink them dry in a month.

How much are you prepared to pay for piss water, I could probably do you a deal.

Ordered a free case, couple of cans went out of date November 2024, the rest were early 2023... No thanks

What the fuck?

Out of date beer is fine to drink

Yeah I'd still drink it but not sure if it's not the best in the first place

To be fair Sky Blue Lager being out of date and shit is pretty on brand right now. Maybe they can rework the formula in Jan.

I think I've managed 5 tins so far, I didn't check the dates but I will this evening. I enjoyed a Heife Maize but the others weren't great. I don't like to moan about free stuff, but jeez they haven't done themselves any favours with this crap tbh.

Much prefer Byatts beers. The Regency Blonde they had on draught at the Flying Standard on Saturday was delicious and at 5.2 % you knew you’d had a few
