Beer delivered to your work place every friday.

I like the idea of sampling different beers every week, this looks interesting. What's the alcohol licensing situation like?

"alcohol licensing situation like"

Jesus - just enjoy the beers.

"We deliver multiples of 12 bottles at £2.50+VAT per bottle."

That's US$4/bottle for lazy converters. On the high side if you're coming from sourcing your own, but not horrible when factoring in delivery and the variety. Not many people would get through more than 2-3 on an average Friday while they wrap up work. I like the idea.

Here in my office, we get cases of craft beer direct from the source and pay cash. What's $65/case in a bottleshop is $50 direct and is there at all times rather than just Friday. Beer lasts pretty well, so it's rarely an issue to stock up in advance.

I think these guys should revise the "5pm at the latest" to more like "midday at the latest". I wouldn't want to be waiting past 2pm some tough days or 4pm any time. Not in the "desperate alcoholic" sense, but as a comparison to "how it is at the moment".

Regular subscription would be the key to income. Any spares can be saved for later or taken home. Could even stock up in advance and deliver mixed cases with tasting notes pretty easily, rather than a dozen at a time.

I love beer, but I also enjoy learning things :)
