Shipping

Hoptimaal offers a wide variety of beers both in-store and online. If you can place an order, we usually have the product in stock (though mistakes can happen, unfortunately). Products that are in stock will be shipped the same day if ordered before 3:00 PM.

If we make an error with stock levels, you will be notified within 24 hours. In that email, we will offer you an alternative product, the right to a full refund, and a new delivery time. It's up to you how you'd like us to resolve the issue.

We ship all orders with DPD from the Netherlands. You can choose between:

  • Home delivery or delivery to your work
  • Delivery to a DPD pickup point near you

Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold for your country are in the table below.

Deposit

On cans and bottles we charge the Dutch deposit (statiegeld): €0.15 per can and €0.10 per bottle (a little more for some bottles). It shows as a separate line in your cart. The deposit belongs to the Dutch deposit system: you can return the packaging in the Netherlands, not in deposit machines in other countries.

Delivery

DPD generally delivers within 24 hours after receiving the parcel. So if we have received your order before 15:00 on working days, in 99% of cases you will have your order at home the next day. It may sometimes happen that they need one day longer. You can follow this via the Track & Trace details you receive from us, so you can see exactly where your order is. DPD also gives you a time window of 2 to 4 hours in which your order will be delivered. Not at home? No problem! You can indicate yourself whether you want them to come by again tomorrow or whether they should deliver it to the nearest post office.

Do you have a question about the delivery of your beer? Feel free to contact us: customer service.

You have a cooling-off period of 14 days after you have received the product. Within this period you can register the product for return. The email you received stating that your order is on its way contains a link that you can use to easily and free of charge download and print a return label. Returning is free: we provide the return label and the shipping costs of your return are at our expense. After registering your return, you have another 14 days to send the product back. If you bought multiple items at once, the period starts after receipt of your last item.

How do I return or exchange a product?

  • Fill in the return form within 14 days after receipt. If you are unable to print the return form, please write at least the order number and your name on a piece of paper and include it with your return.
  • Register your return with our customer service. You can do this by sending an email to: info@hoptimaal.nl or by calling 085 -130 1591. Or print your return label yourself via the link in the email titled "Your order is on its way".
  • After registering your return, you have another 14 days to send the product back.
  • Then send your return back in its original condition and with the packaging. Products that are damaged or incomplete are not eligible for exchange or refund.

Please note: after the 14-day cooling-off period it is no longer possible to return your product.

What can you expect after returning your product?

After receiving your return, you will receive a confirmation from us. This can take 3 working days, but in general we process your return on the day we receive it. We will check your return to see whether your product meets our return conditions and will then get to work on the solution you want.

Do you want your money back?

  • We will refund the purchase amount within 3 working days after confirmation of receipt to the account with which you paid. If you want to receive the purchase amount in another way, please contact us about the possibilities.
  • In case of visible signs of use, missing accessories or missing packaging, you are no longer entitled to a refund. If the packaging is not returned entirely in its original condition, we won't make a fuss and you will in any case get 75% of the purchase amount back. This is very rarely the case; usually the full purchase amount is simply refunded.

Do you want to receive a new product?

After receiving your return, we will send the new product right away. If the product is no longer in stock, we will refund the purchase amount to the account with which you paid.

  • Is the new product cheaper? The remaining amount will be refunded to your account within 3 working days.
  • Is the new product more expensive? You will receive a payment request for the remaining amount. After receipt of payment, we will send the product immediately.
  • Do you want to receive the new product at a different address or on a different day? Please contact us.

From Dyce to shelves across Scotland

Fierce Beer is based in Dyce, Aberdeen. According to Aberdeen Live, the brewery started in 2016 and Aldi was its very first customer. The paper calls Fierce a multiple award-winning brewery that grew into one of the five largest craft breweries in Scotland.

That link with Aldi still exists. Around the first Aberdeen Beer Festival in the Music Hall, six new beers appeared under the name Fierce and Friends, made for Aldi Scotland. All six were brewed at the brewery in Aberdeen. Three of them were made together with English breweries: a fruited sour with New Bristol, a citrusy West Coast IPA with Neptune Brewery from Liverpool and a coffee porter with Indie Rabble.

Fierce also has its own bars. According to CB Insights they are in Aberdeen and Edinburgh, and the brewery's own website refers to its bars.

A broad range, from gluten-free to imperial stout

Fierce's web shop shows a broad line-up. Under the heading gluten-free, vegan beer you will find Fierce IPA, Fancy Juice, Cerveza, Fierce Peach, Fierce Iron Brew and Go Easy, among others. There are also separate collections for coolers and for Rush.

On the dark side there is Café Racer, a coffee & vanilla porter that the brewery itself calls a firm favourite of the team. VBM also comes out every year, described by Fierce as the annual imperial stout. CB Insights describes the brewery as a maker of pale lagers, imperial stouts and vegan-friendly beers. That fits the picture of a brewery that makes both easy-drinking everyday beers and heavy seasonal beers.

Fierce Beer at Hoptimaal

We have carried two beers from Fierce: an IPA and a stout, in 33 and 44 cl. The strength ranges from 8 to 12.5%. On Untappd, Fierce Very Big Birthday and Fierce Pillow Fight are rated highest. At the moment we have no Fierce in stock, so check the web shop or the store for the current situation.

Drink hoppy beers as fresh and as cold as possible, so the aromas stay sharp. With the heavier stouts, take your time. Don't pour them ice-cold and let them warm up slowly in the glass, so that coffee, chocolate and alcohol notes come through better.
