Description
Founded back in the Summer of 2013, Beer52 was inspired by a motorcycle road trip that our founder, James Brown, took with his Dad. Stopping at breweries in Belgium along the way, he found his love of craft beer. He set out to visit a new country every month in search of the best beers, his friend Fraser jumped on board for the ride and since then Beer52 has become the world's most popular beer club.

Beer52 didn't become the UK's most popular craft beer club for nothing - we got to where we are by giving beer drinkers the best damn beers on the planet. Our resident beer experts have visited breweries all around the world, in the search of the most interesting brews they can find. We deliver a carefully curated case of these craft beers from our favourite microbreweries every month.

[33cl can from the Beer52 box for February.] A reddish chestnut pour with a tight beige head; acrid coffee aroma with some chocolate malt in the background; sweet chocolate syrup taste; followed by some coffee grounds. So sweet I can feel my teeth rotting.

Black beer, thick head. Smells of malt and light tart fruit. Flavour is dry malt, berries, some dark chocolate. Something a little musty in the finish but it's decent enough. Rich and smooth so it's pleasant enough to drink.

Beer52 freebie. Wet leaves aroma. Malts. Slightly dehydrated urine gold. Fizzy. Thick white head. Medium bitter. Some peppery warmth, certainly into the finish.. Medium bodied. Light with fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. A tad hoppy. A tad peppery. Perfectly drinkable but kinda average. A pity as being a Hampshire lad I am partial to a bit of water cress.

330ml bottle. Dark but brown with a thin white head. Not getting much aroma, but the flavour has a load of chilli over the top of a dark chocolate and coffee base

[33cl can from the Beer52 box for February.] A pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; slightly sour grainy aroma; sharp sour lemony taste; leading to a dry finish with lots of lemon zest. Rather one dimensional.
