If this is the case, we have a full range of beers available in our German Import Portfolio. When it comes to lager, nobody does it quite like the Germans. With clean, soft water running down from the Austrian Alps and the perfect climate for growing their signature Hallertauer hops, they have become masters in creating the world’s most popular beer style. Tradition is at the heart of their brewing culture, so much so they even passed a law so stop people trying to change their beloved beer: Reinheitsgebot (The German Purity Law.)

The invoice you receive on delivery will have line itemised discounts but the checkout on the website will total your discounts into 1 value

Please see the example screenshot below for how the discount will display online.

Some of our German beer imports come in returnable plastic crates and implement a deposit system for which the breweries use to encourage recycling of their bottles as we send them back to be cleaned and reused.

We apply the same fixed rate of £4 per crate (£2.50 crate & £1.50 bottles) and uou will be able to see on the product as you click into it whether it carries a case deposit. It will also show in the checkout.

If you are unable to return the bottles then please factor the £1.50 into your selling price and just return the plastic crates for a part return on your deposit. However, if you are returning, this will be marked down by our drivers when they are returned as full or empty crates and you will receive a credit for them on their return.

For your celebrataion you can rent one-litre steins from us. Each crate rental costs £80 and contains 15 Steins. To order, add the amount needed into your cart in quantities of 15 and a deposit line of a £20 case will automatically be added to your order, please do not remove this item as it is required to ensure the glassware goes out correctly and will be re-added at a later date if so. . This deposit will be returned to you when sending back to Cave Direct, less any breakages. Your driver will make a note of any returns for crediting by the office.
