The site says that the beers sent are worth at least £57, but they have limited stock.
Seems that Flavourly are hit and miss with some people. I have found some of the beers they sell bland but overall they're good.

    I'd agree on the bland comment.  For the price delivered they're OK - much of what they deliver is weak and boring however, and I'd never buy them off the shelf.  They also make out you're getting niche beers - however read the small print on the cans, and its all been brewed for Flavourly - so will have been made to a price point.
  • Very disappointed all round. The beers didn’t arrive on the date promised so I had to contact Flavourly. Apparently the non-delivery and failure to let me know what was happening were down to human error.
    The beers themselves are very hit and miss. I have drunk about half of them and while some were quite nice, others were cloudy and not pleasant. One was so bad that I threw it down the sink  - and there was a brown sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Definitely wouldn’t touch them again.
    On the general issue of these “offers”, I have taken advantage of two of MSE’s offerings, this one and one for plants. Both were very disappointing indeed and I won’t be using these opportunities again.

    This is quite normal with craft beers that are "bottle conditioned" (or bottled without filtering). It should have said so on the label. You have to leave them to settle for at least an hour, pour carefully so as to leave the sediment and a small amount of beer in the bottle. If you don't then yes, the sediment can taint the whole glass. ☹️
  • Brew your own !!
    Modern beer kits are absolutely brilliant nowadays.

  • I never received mine. It got as far as DPD's depot then "disappeared", probably an employee stocking up for Christmas. Had to accept a refund as package no longer available. Reading one or two comments here this might not have been a bad outcome though.
  • I tried the 48 cans for £48 offer at the beginning of October (individual quantities of 2, 4 or 8 per beer).  After trying one of each type there were only four types I wouldn't drink again but that was 20 out of the 48 cans.  Overall I'd rate the others from bland to ok and a couple as quite nice. My hope when I ordered them was at least half being drinkable, so no real complaint there - 48 cans (@ £1ea) of unknown beer and enjoying all of them is akin to a modest lottery win.

    My gripe with Flavourly is the daily (sometimes 2) email promoting 20-48 mixed packs, changing my account email preferences had no effect  so now everything they send is spam filtered and I'm unlikely to buy again as I'd have to wade through the spam folder to find order emails.
