Build A Box? How does this work

INDIE RABBLE are a small team, brewing great beer. We made the decision to ship with minimums for two reasons. One: We’re busy. We love sending beer to our wonderful supporters, but we got stuff to do. And two: We found our way into running this brewery via the wonderful independent bottleshop community. And we want to support them! So want less than a half case? Buy it from our mates! Cheers!

How does shipping work?

Nationwide shipping is in 2-3 working days via APC – who take keeping your cans safe more seriously than anyone we’ve found in our many years in the industry. For orders of half a case, a fee of £6 applies. For orders of a full case or more, shipping is FREE of charge. YOU CAN ALSO COLLECT FROM THE BREWERY! And why wouldn’t you. It helps us out, and you get to pop to 27 The Arches. Our home in the Windsor Beer Mile!

What about Merch and that?

If your order contains any 4, 12 or 24 packs of beer – then the buildabox rules apply. If you’re only grabbing merch, gift cards, or ‘owt similar, then you’ll be able to check out

Could you explain all that with a diagram?

Sure. Because our co-founder and web admin Dave is a massive nerd.

Are there discounts for buying more beer?

Yep. A 4 pack is priced 10% better than buying singles at the brewery. A 12 pack has another 10% off that, and a 24 pack another 5% once more. It pays to buy tasty Indie Beer in bulk.

What if I want less than 12 beers?

You can click and collect any order of any size via the website. Alternatively, pop into the brewery in person. We’ll always be happy to sell you singles, 4 packs, whatever else you need. And even if we look closed, if you can see an angry brewer inside (or anyone else!), feel free to pop in. We’ll sell you things. We like money. We need it to pay rent and that. Beyond that, what about the brilliant range of bottleshops and bars around the country selling our beer? And finally, A Hoppy Place, our sister company, will always get stock of every beer we produce, and can ship you a single can. Neat.

Beery Recipes: Herne The Hunter Cake! - INDIE RABBLE BREWING CO.

Those of you who are active on ~~Twitter~~ X or The Gram may have seen a couple of weeks ago that our dear friend (and sister-in-law to one of our founders, Ally!) Hannah blessed us at the taproom with a box full of decadent cake made with our Tartarus collab: Herne The Hunter! A 12.2% Imperial Tiramisu Stout seems fitting for that purpose.

She was also generous enough to share the recipe with us! All of us at The Rabble absolutely love good food to go with our good beers, so beery recipes are right up our street.

For Hannah’s Herne Cake, you’ll need:

One can of Herne The Hunter
240g plain flour
400g granulated sugar
100g cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vinegar
100g chocolate buttons, roughly broken up
1 tsp salt
120ml oil
110g butter
180g icing sugar
30ml Irish whiskey
Espresso to taste

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C.
Grease a 11×9 inch baking sheet with butter or coconut oil then sprinkle a small amount of the cocoa powder over the top. Shake the baking sheet so the cocoa powder covers the butter.
Pour half the can of Herne into a small pot and bring it to a simmer. Set the pot aside.
While the beer is heating, make the rest of the cake. Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the oil, vinegar, and the remaining Herne in the can and whisk. Pour the hot Herne into the bowl and carefully whisk it into the batter. Stir in the chocolate buttons.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. After 10 minutes, remove the cake from the baking sheet and let it cool completely on a cooling rack.

Place the butter, icing sugar, and Irish whiskey in a large bowl. Add a splash of espresso to your liking. Note from Hannah: just eyeball it and keep tasting it to see what you prefer! Cream together using electric beaters. For a thinner frosting, use more whiskey and/or espresso.
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting over the top.
