Brouette de Bières

25 November 2007, 15:52 - Exclusive: Reindeers go on strike!

So Father Christmas changed its sledge to a new wheelbarrow. And he will need a big one to ship all Christmas beers that we propose!

More than 25 beers are waiting for you. There are plenty of sizes that will fit all palates.

Obviously, you'll find some Belgian beers (Abbaye des Rocs Noël, Pater Lieven Kerst Pater), French beers (Thiriez Bière de Noël, Uberach Bière de Noël), Germans beers and also English ones (Shepherd Neame Christmas Ale, Gordon Xmas).

Moreover, if Christmas beers are usually brown, (Delirium Christmas, Corsendonk Christmas), you'll also find some blond beers (Stille Nacht, Enghien Noël), ambers beers (Saint Feuillien Noël, De Ryck Christmas Pale-Ale) and even a gueuze (Chapeau Winter Gueuze).

Concerning sizes, conviviality lovers should share a bottle of Chouffe N'Ice 75 cl or Avec les Bons V½ux de la Brasserie Dupont 75 cl. Most greedy will be likely to open a magnum of Trappistes Rochefort 8 Cuvée de Noël or Gouden Carolus Christmas. Finally, mini-kegs lovers can discover Arend Winter, Uberach Bière de Noël or Weltenburger Kloster Wintertraum on draught.

Have good beers... Christmas beers of course!

Mini-kegs

Mini-kegs fans are about to appreciate!

For the last days, seven new mini-kegs have been added to the catalog. We propose about fifty beers available in 5 liters mini-kegs. That's the biggest choice of mini-kegs, here at Brouette de Bières and nowhere else!

Shipping charges

To have these mini-kegs delivered at home, our shipping charges evolved. Order up to 5 mini-kegs with the essential gas cartridges and you'll be delivered under 48 hours by Post for 9.00 ¤ VAT included.

Fill-height

To choose between 600 beers, 200 glasses and about 50 mini-kegs may be difficult. To help you, we installed a shipping gauge. Now, you can know in real time the fill-height of your wheelbarrow. You may read the article concerning this gauge in the "Discovery" section.

Have good beers.

4 August 2007, 00:19 - Here are cartridges!

You asked yourself about what we could add to our catalog? Here is the response, we have some cartridges left... gas cartridges for sure

To propose mini-kegs, ok! However, without precious gas cartridges, the pump won't work well :-(. Consequently, for lovers of beer in mini-keg, now we propose CO2 cartridges. As some of you are scatterbrained :-), we offer a CO2 cartridge for each 5 liters mini-keg bought. As is, no disappointment when wanting to enjoy the freshly unpacked beer.

Concerning Perfectdraft supporters, they don't have to worry, we didn't forget them. The "PerfectDrafts" section lists all beers of our catalog available in 6 liters mini-kegs compliant with this pump.

Furthermore, we told you about that in our previous news, glasses are coming. We're going to propose over one hundred glasses quickly and we'll continue.

From now, whever you prefer bottles, 5 l mini-kegs or PerfectDraft mini-kegs; you always have a good reason to enjoy a good beer with friends ;-).

Discount on shipping charges go on for a few days only. Choose your beers quickly :-)

Finally, the "Brouette de Bières" website changes for sand color. Fortunately, the wheelbarrow is cross-country :-)

18 July 2007, 03:20 - Improvements everywhere: Shipping charges and comfort

Following your suggestions, we made some improvements in our website. Here is the list:

• A "Sizes" category in the menu to display quickly mini-kegs, magnums, giant bottles...
• A "Beers of the world" menu entry to display most exotic beers.
• A "Countries mosaic" to travel over 23 countries.
• A precise description when you add any article into your wheelbarrow or when you modify its content.
• From your wheelbarrow, go with one clic to the description of an ordered product.

If you have any other idea or suggestion, leave us a message.

In order to let you test these improvements, we propose you 50% reduced shipping charges for any wheelbarrow from 16 kg to 40 kg.

In the coming days, even more beers, even more glasses and no closing because of holidays.

3 July 2007, 18:05 - Take a round-the-world trip with a wheelbarrow

Holidays are coming! You're dreaming about a long journey, of spending time on beaches around the world! That's good timing, we offer you a round-the-world trip...

...a beer round-the-world trip, of course!

Pack your suitcase, here we go for a journey from East to West. Let's begin by Switzerland and its famous Samichlaus. Then go through Germany, well known for its bavarian beers (Franziskaner, Weihenstephaner). For pretty blonds lovers, a stage in Finland will be a must to enjoy Lapin Kulta. Then take off by the first plane to get to India and its famous Cobra. Always go towards the West to New Zealand to discover the Captain Cooker. Then what about a dance with a lovely Tahitian while drinking a Hinano? Too many emotions? In this case, nothing like a chilled Brahma under the brazilian sun. Finally, to put an end to the trip, come back to Europe with a stage in Portugal to try a Sagres before putting your suitcase down in Spain to enjoy a San Miguel.

Of course, this trip is an example. If you prefer to prepare your trip by yourself, the countries mosaic and the page of beers of the world should help you.

Have nice holidays and good beers!

19 June 2007, 23:15 - 500 and "Cinq Cents"

Here comes the summer, at least on the calendar! If the coming days will perhaps be hot according to the thermometer, last days have been hot on Brouette-de-Bières.

"At setting out they were fifty but they were five hundred on arriving!" We had fifty beers on October, an we now have 500 different beers (and even more) in our catalog, on sale and available immediately.

"Cinq cents"! For the non french-speaking people, let's say that "Cinq cents" means "Five hundred". And "Cinq Cents" is also the name of the 75cl bottle of "Chimay Triple".

«Chimay Cinq Cents"! To celebrate the 500th beer added to the catalog, we propose to you to clink glasses with some "Cinq Cents". When buying

• six 75 cl bottles of Chimay Cinq Cents

or

• one magnum of Chimay Cinq Cents

We offer you three Chimay glasses that will be added into your parcel. Or when buying

• three 75 cl bottles of Chimay Cinq Cents

one Chimay glass offered.

On the road to a thousand different beers? We are ready! To succeed, we'll need your suggestions and your orders, in order to propose to you even more choice, even more beers.

And once again, Have good beers!

2 April 2007, 08:35 - Spring doesn't arrive alone

For those who have been patient: that's open, now you can order your preferred beers! ;-)

Stocks are full. Each day, new supplies so more beers become available "under 48 hours". Glasses will be available next to beers, in a few days...

Shipping charges are calculated depending on your department delivery and the weight of your parcel.

In order to optimize these charges, adjust your wheelbarrow content :

• just under 15 kg (24 beers of 33 cl)
• for some departments, just under 20 kg (32 beers of 33 cl)
• just under 30 kg (48 beers of 33 cl)
• more than 30 kg, by steps of 10 kg.

Avoid a wheelbarrow of 10.5 kg, (or 20.5 kg). In such a case, either add beers up to 15 kg or remove the few exceeding grams.

You can pay using cheque, credit card or transfer. Transfer will give you a cash discount.

In order to follow-up your orders, browse the "my orders" section. You'll find your orders, your last bills and also the olders ones. You'll be able to fill your wheelbarrow with the content of an old order, ...

You don't find a beer? You found a mistake? You saw lower prices on another website? Tell us about it

And as always, Have good beers!
