Beers of the World is a new, impressively named Finnish company with a bright new idea. They sell the rights to purchase beers from Alko’s “by special order only” -selection.
The site didn’t have the world’s greatest start as the first few days of orders were tossed into /dev/null by an over-eager spam assassin.
Took the shop out for a spin and ordered EVERY beer that they had. Which obviously sounds way more imposing than what the truth is: I ordered three beers.
Three Thornbridge beers, one of which I had had before.
The shop took its time fulfilling the order, and the delivery was far from optimized – the sales in Arkadia’s shop ground to a halt as the cashier was forced to go deep into the vaults to locate the wares.
Happily enough, all three were indeed found.
Despite the somewhat rusty cogs and unexpected delays, the shopping experience was a pleasant one, and I definitely look forward to sampling the expanding selection in the future.
FI: Vähän tökki, mutta hyvin kauppa kävi. Laajempaa valikoimaa vaan!
