Beer Online Ordering

true but nice kick in the arse for government

Don't say it too loudly or they'll start taxing the raw ingredients.
You know, stuff like malt, water... Oh wait...

Not wishing to start a debate, but some factors that have us paying assorted and excessive taxes to revenue...
The scale of the economy
Successively corrupt governments and politicians (Take your pick)
Mismanaged national Finance, uninformed decision makers (Think Bertie and Brian Lenihan)
Corrupt citizens (Black marketeers, scroungers etc.)

In short, make sure your trip to Benelux is a camper or an estate car and pack it to the gills!

thank god I'm enjoying this brewing at home then. First time ever the other night had a choice of beers in the fridge, I chose one onf my own brewed .  Should get a shipping update today, will let you know if the gift sets arrive or not !!

It's the best reason in the world  to get your beer skills up to pub standard. You can forego the expensive stuff in the shop, and decent doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg if you made it yourself.

In Ireland there is a huge gap between the bargain beer and macro beer level of beer prices, and the stuff that is actually good. There is price middle ground but it is only filled with "world lagers".

In the uk there is a proper continuity of prices, with genuinely good beers in the middle price ground.

There are a lot if online retailers in the uk, but they sell domestically. They are not value resellers really; mostly they just spread beers around the country that are otherwise hard or impossible to get in your locality.

Mine came today too, I had it sent to the parents house so won't get my hands on it until the weekend.  All was very straightforward same as any other parcel.

Same here, I used the French crowd, in your face govt.

Coming on here telling about how you've managed to avoid paying the authorities the duty isn't really a clever thing to do. Remember, this is a public forum so what you post here is available for anybody to read.

Yeah, I'd say the excise duty lads go looking for tax evaders on forums. I hear they put transmitters in your fillings  as well.

I'm expecting the door to be bust in any minute
