Great institution, excellent service and fast delivery. Matt - who takes my twice-yearly phone order - is brilliant. Quick, efficient and friendly. Love this outfit.

I was looking for Berliner Weisse and discovered Beers of Europe on Google. As I considered the price per bottle extremely good I decided to put in an order of four bottles. Three days later my doo... See more

A very happy customer

First time buyer for two bottles of hard to get spirits, apparently they had 3 in on the Friday and I managed to get the remaining 2 on the Sunday, received a confirmation e mail that it was being processed on the Sunday and that was it until e mail from APC overnight couriers on the Thursday with a delivery time for that day, I did ask to make sure it was not EVRI, not sure what the difference is £5.99 for 3 to 5 working days or £7.99 for the same 3 to 5 working days but they got here safe and sound so cannot complain. On the delivery day it was windy and double rain but driver still smiling and polite so all in all busy time of year for sales and delivery company’s so five stars

How Customer Service Should Be

The service I received was amazing, above & beyond and probably the best customer service I have received in a long time, thank you!

The non-delivered order (courier -APC/first4logistics, beware. Order still at their depot a week later). Beers of Europe cancelled the original order, sent out a new batch which arrived an hour earlier than scheduled.

The beers were bought as Christmas gifts for work colleagues, the Classic Samichlaus beer

Looking forward to having mine and hopefully the guys at work will enjoy theirs too.

Thanks again Beers of Europe, you solved a frustrating situation without question.

I have used the company in the past and excited to get some Augustiner Maximator in the spring. Highly recommend

Order early if it's close to Christmas

Service is usually excellent but they seem overwhelmed by Christmas demand this year. Had no order confirmation just an email telling me there were items still in my basket. When I checked was told there's a problem with the email system. Then there were two items out of stock that I was able to order. Then I was sent this survey before I received dispatch confirmation. Beer ordered on Sunday not dispatched yet and it's Thursday night.

Won't use this company again

What a shambles. I am not sure who is at fault but my first order was damaged in transit and returned to sender. Now the replacement is also being returned (once again damaged). Both times neither the delivery company or Beers of Europe contacted me I had to find out myself what had happened.

Paid extra for 1 day delivery it's now 5 days since I made my order and still without product.

Beers of Europe didn't really seem to care now stuck trying to find the same beers from a decent retailer with no idea when I'll get my refund what a waste of time.

To add insult to injury I keep getting emails asking me to review the beers I have not received.

Don't count on being delivered when stated, even after paying next day delivery fee

If I were simply to award a rating for the choice and quality of the beers available, then it would be hands-down 5 stars.
I have used Beers of Europe for a couple of years, mainly to treat my brother for birthdays and Christmas and to treat myself, with cases of mixed single bottles, some pretty extraordinary! The beer had always lived up to and beyond our expectations.
However, delivery is very hit and miss - 2 orders for next day delivery (with the extra fee paid) failed. 2 days off wasted, waiting for nothing. The first (birthday present for my brother) meant an hour and a half's drive (there and back) to physically recover the case up from a DHL depot. The second (today), an apology email from the carrier (Nationwide Parcel Services) saying they were unable to deliver today 3 hours after I had rung BOE to get an ETA for delivery.
It's a great shame, but I no longer trust this vendor to deliver when stated. Especially infuriating when (for both of those particular deliveries) I've paid the next day delivery fee and booked them for a day off work. So afa as delivery is concerned, 2 stars and only because 3 of the last 5 orders I made actually turned up.

Dornfelder lieblich red wine

I am a regular buyer from BofE (perhaps a little too regular 😋), as they seem to be the sole UK stockists of my favourite German red wine (Dornfelder lieblich).

As always both the service and delivery were excellent, in fact they contacted me proactively as they were ordering some from Germany and asked if I wanted any.

Definitely recommended and many thanks to BofE

Incredible range and service

I had been searching for weeks for an obscure South American product, and eventually found it only 2 days before I needed it. Less than 36hrs later, I had the bottle in my hands. I am immensely impressed by the variety that this website offers and by the delivery and customer service.

Delivery Issues

My first time ordering from them. Good concept and looks like many happy customers. Their customer service needs a bit of polishing though. Only six out of 30 beers delivered which I needed for the weekend. The lady on the phone needs a better response than I will email the shipper bit be ware that they are slow to respond.

They need to fix the problem while dealing with the shipping issue in the background. Poor in my book. At the very least they need to insist on better visibility from their shipper. Easy to do these days.

Fantastic people to deal with

Fantastic people to deal with. Happy, polite really friendly. I was ordering some alcohol free stouts on line and accidentally added some alcoholic ones but Carol sorted it in one phone call. They also have a fabulous choice of all beers. Great place to deal with.
