DELIVERY SERVICE
When will my order arrive?

How much is your delivery?
Orders over £50 qualify for FREE delivery. The delivery charge for orders under £50 is £4.95 for England, Scotland and Wales. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland is £11.95 and due to the limitations of service coverage, deliveries to these areas may take slightly longer.
Do you deliver abroad?
No, we currently only deliver to the UK.
Do you offer a Click and Collect Service?

How does your delivery service work?
You will receive an email confirming your order, followed by a text from our courier confirming shipment giving you details of your delivery and tracking information.
If you are not in when a delivery is attempted, a card will be left containing contact details to arrange a re-delivery.

Can I leave a note to the driver?
Yes, absolutely. If you live in a multi-occupancy building, please make sure that we have your correct contact details, access information and anything else you may feel necessary to assist in the delivery of your beer. Please add this to the delivery notes section when placing an order with us. If your order cannot be delivered in these circumstances, the card to inform you that your order has been held may also not get to your door.
