Howto: restock the fridge

People may be duped to buy expensive beer from unscrupulous local traders leaving our donation tin sad and empty. So let's overcome the problem with a shared google map and a howto.

Best local shops to buy beer from

What(Name of shop), Where (address / Google Maps), When (opening times).

What to buy?

A selection of beers, ales and some soft drinks including:

  • Hoegaarden
  • Dr Pepper
  • Diet Coke
  • Fanta
  • add yours here...

Bartering Skills

When you buy large amounts of beer, try and get a better price than what is marked on the bottle/can. I can always get a reduction when buying for Hackspace because I tell the shop keeper about our buying power and that we will be coming again next week if the price is right! You should try it with Pizza, Beer and just about anything. Then share your experiences of getting good deals so we all benefit.

Four Vinters

For large orders call four vinters (they are cheaper than Majestic). http://www.thefourvintners.co.uk/

Majestic Wholesale Account

We have an account with Majestic wholesalers; phone 020 7247 9381, the account name is 'Hack Space', ask for 'the usual'. The order costs £94.
