Best beer delivery services: Watch football with a stocked fridge

Beer Hawk | Free delivery on orders over £50

FourFourTwo's top pick for beer connoisseurs: whether you want an indie brewery IPA, a high-ABV Belgian collection, a keg of something familiar or low-alcohol beers, their selection is excellent.

BeerHawk deliveries tend to take a few days, but they have a huge catalogue, and curating your own case is easy and satisfying.

Flavourly | Free delivery on all orders 

Flavourly's raison d'etre is making drinking craft beer at home more accessible. That means you're always likely to find beers that you won't get anywhere else online – it's a great tool for finding new drinks. 

Deliveries are done with DPD, meaning they are tracked and are generally done within two working days.

Majestic | Free delivery on orders over £50 and free express delivery over £150

Better known as a wine retailer, Majestic deals in beers too, with £1-a-bottle a standard price for Peroni and Estrella cases – perfecting pairing for Serie A and La Liga games, as far as FFT is concerned. There's plenty of craft beer and alcohol free options, too.

Majestic usually offers deliveries from two days after ordering, although don't offer a time slot, so it's worth trying to make sure you're order is in on Wednesday if you want yours for the weekend.

Drinkwell | 24-hour delivery option

Drinkwell focuses on low-calorie alcoholic drinks, rather than doing them as an afterthought. That means that the drinks they deliver are a bit less bad for you, without tasting of nothing.

Whether it's low-carb, gluten-free or vegan-friendly, you'll find something here, and the website is very good at flagging that information for you so you can make a considered choice.

There are options for 24 hour delivery (£7.99) and 48-hour delivery (£6.99) if you want them in time for a specific kick-off.

Amazon UK | Free next-day delivery with Prime membership

Amazon's grocery section includes alcohol of all manners, and their beers include some offers you'd struggle to see beaten elsewhere. Boxes of Red Stripe and San Miguel are currently going for less than a pound a drink.

Plenty of the cases on Amazon are available with Amazon Prime's next day delivery guarantee – perfect for a Friday afternoon when you realise you've nothing in the fridge for the weekend's fixtures. Not all of them are though, so keep an eye on your order.

The Bottle Club | Free deliveries on orders over £100

The Bottle Club is geared more towards the fancier stuff (vodka bottle shaped like a skull, anyone?), but if you're already browsing, they have a respectable craft beer section that could help bulk out your order into free delivery territory.

Otherwise, deliveries are £4.99 and expected in 3-5 working days.
