No need to order a crate online. Go to M&S:

Depends where you're based. ABK beers are not listed on Ocado in my area.

For info.   I ordered 24 of the ABK Hell for £37 (plus £6 shipping).

They have already been dispatched so I should be able to provide a quality report in a day or so!!!

Be sure not to spill any on your cape 🦸

M&S German Lager in store.

Oops, I didn't check the small print. I forgot M&S sell own-brand badged beers from name breweries.

I remember they used to do a Sam Smiths stout (oatmeal, I think) under their own label quite a few years ago.

Needless to say, about a fortnight after I discovered this happy fact, that line was discontinued.

My oder arrived and I have to say it is very very good.

That's my new beer for live Rugby League tv games this year. 

Couple of questions:

How many live games is that a week now across the competitions?

What's the concensus on how early is too early for the NRL games?

My view is that if you have had your breakfast then crack on.

 With the  typos in your post I think you  may already have made a move into your first 24 bottles........

You're right, I have.

But how many typos were there? I can see a missing r but that's all!

Actually, never mind, I'm off to the fridge again.

I might pronounce the way you have spelt consensus  ( hard c instead of s )after a few......

Just ordered a mixed case to try.

Now I'll have a look to see if I can tell ABK and why I did!

Changed my mind at the last minute and instead ordered a mixed case of four beers direct from ABK.

Nice friendly communication from them with email address so all in good time I'll tell them why I bought it

By the sounds of that 24 bottles isn`t going to be enough.

I don't think they will last till the start of the season.

I think I'll order a mixed case too, given the praise on here from people who have tried their beers. I certainly want to try the dunkel.

Dunkel is my favourite by far....not happy my local changed to inferior others , ABK pilsner was always on with rotation of the others in ABK range .

I have just done 50 years working in the brewery trade on the sales side, and ABK are struggling for draught distribution in the UK. Good beer though.

Well, if a bunch of thirsty RL fans can't boost their sales, there's no helping them.

It's getting it that will be the problem. SL Clubs have their deals mainly with the National Brewers, some do sell ABK, but it is doubtful that they would install it before their own core brands.
