Heat for the price, but it's really disappointing compared to standard hobgoblin.

Keg can be refilled with homebrew as well.. the empty kegs are usually £7 from the homebrew shops.

Due in part to myself, a lovely hoppy summer EPA!

Generally prefer my darker brews but have to admit was pleasantly surprised by this one.

Standard Hobgoblin off trade sales are down 20% this year, but introducing Gold has raised the brand by 30% overall, so I guess not everyone agrees ;-)

still on at tesco Durrington was £15 on shelf but scanned £8

Don't you mean a baaahgin?

From the comments, seems to be at more stores than just the one I found it at. Funny how when folk can't get a deal they moan & start calling people sheep. I'll make a baaah with the 2 kegs I got. Thanks.

Got the last one in Eston Tesco today, many thanks OP!

brilliant. Bought all 5 on the shelf in Tesco Extra at Broadbridge Heath (Horsham - West Sussex) today. great find. thanks. This should not be Expired! To note was not price labelled on shelf - used self scan and scanned £8 each

hubby managed to get one in ipswich :smile: thank op

Or anyone else except for 1% of the population !

Still on in Prescot got 3 yesterday

It was subtle humour mate.

heat added got one in Bidston today, 3 left on shelf

I just bought two kegs in Banbury for £16.00 (1 left) :stuck_out_tongue: so it's not expired. Thanks op

I'm love my real ale and can def say Gold is gorgeous!

Why are we expired?

No just Pitsea didn't even think of Mayflower :s

I picked up one today in Tesco, Pool,Cornwall £8.00 thanks!

Great deal , hic!

Worked today at Cambridge tesco £ 8 despite shelf still saying £15 many thanks op
Or should I say cheers!.

there's 1 left in Watford, scans at £8.
my bro got one on Saturday from Welwyn, problem was it made me legless before I'd even drunk it. The handle broke and crushed my foot. nice tasting, bad quality handle so beware!

This is a surprisingly good beer for a mainstream brewer which, as others have said, is a nice citrussy golden beer with grapefruit and floral notes. If this was rebadged as something like "Old Scruttocks Hop Botherer IPA" from some obscure US craft brewer, hipsters would happily pay £5 a pint for it!

​Even bottled water does. Health and safety lunacy.

just priced one up using a self scanner in St Helens Extra as there was no price sticker and came up as £8. Needs unexpiring. Got one and there was around 4 more left.

Heat for the price, but it's really disappointing compared to standard hobgoblin.

look at all the sheep voting this hot but at most stores including the two tesco near me it's still 15 pound. cold from me Baaaaaaaaah

£15 at tesco Pitsea

NEEDS EXPIRING - CLEARLY NOT NATIONAL

Checked local store and it was £15

Still £15 at sunderland roker retail x

brewdog massif

Heat from me, great price :smiley:

We've been discussing these kegs on The Home Brew Forum. They are great to re-use for storing your home brew. Please consider donating your empties to freecycle as I'm sure someone would make use of these.

I've given some heat but I was searching yesterday for these (totally unaware of this deal) and couldn't find them anywhere around Belfast (still to try Sainsbury's). If anyone knows anywhere in NI that stock these (even at full price) I'd be most grateful.

Cheers - got one from Redditch store

2 left in Dudley Castlegate an hour ago but still £15.

If you read back, I was compaing it to golden hen. That's where we have our wires crossed.

Still £15 in Blackpool store

All gone at the Tesco in Fulbourn Cambridge unfortunately :disappointed:

Got this at £2.20 a pint in my local at the moment.
Nice drink.

Love this beer

picked one up yesterday, drank last night...not quite as nice as normal but still good, especially for £7 quid less

​You said they're BOTH golden, which the standard isn't.

16 quid at Amersham

£15 still at romford gallows corner x

Nice Summer Ale :-)

Good price, heated up

You can get reusuable bungs..http://www.copperkettlehomebrewing.co.uk/mini-keg-system/635/spare-bung

Yes, this is Hobgoblin GOLD.

Is this national or a wild goose chase?

If anyone has any beer that has passed its "use by" please message me for disposal.
:wink:

Best before.

Arbitrary date picked out of a hat by the manufacturer.

Heat. Going to pick one up to have on my lunch hour tomorrow. Cheers! Hic.

well it has a sticker on it with a date in the future, i expect that's what it's for.

Still scanning at £15 in Newcastle Extra. Cold.

Are you saying you don't need to remove the bung on these? I found trying to remove the bung quite tricky but I love the idea of using kegs to store beer.

Hobgoblin? Golden? Stick to Babycham matey :wink:

Beer has a "use by" date?

love this beer, i will go take a look tomorrow.

They're both golden ales, one is nice one isn't. It was disappointing for a Wychwood beer, it's my opinion. Still voted hot for the price.

Edit: oh right you mean comparing the standard to the gold. Meh, the Wychwood point still stands.

Either remove bung per videos on you tube.
Or get some of these which can be reused.

I quite like this but not seen it in my local superstore.

Love the grapefruity flavour, also tastes great chilled. Hope I can get this deal tomorrow

This is really nice for American style IPA lovers. Great value!

Due in part to myself, a lovely hoppy summer EPA!

Generally prefer my darker brews but have to admit was pleasantly surprised by this one.

What's the "use by" on these? Seem to think they have a shorter shelf life and wondering about getting a few for Christmas :smiley:

Will try and get one of these tomorrow, thanks for the heads up. Have some heat!

Showing as £15.
Oh...instore. OK

Keg can be refilled with homebrew as well.. the empty kegs are usually £7 from the homebrew shops.

Don't know why, it's quite nasty compared to something like Golden Hen. Has a pretty bottle though! *shrugs*
