Yeah, I said the Beer Club box is 500 DKK (which equals €71), the Beer Mail is less (350 DKK which is €50), and that the MBC box offers good and expensive high-quality beers fresh. You just happened to pull the shortest straw in the canning line 
Ten euro for delivery to your door is not much for Finns, especially if you think that you pay something like €7 for getting one LP delivered within Finland to a post office, not your home.
That one single Beer Geek can you mentioned is available cheapest in the Mikkeller webstore and that one alone costs 120 DKK (€17). I think it's almost worth that much, I'd pay €14 for another, but it's truly a bummer if THAT one was contaminated.
Good beer often costs a lot even online, something like €6-10, especially if it's nearing the 10% mark. Fantastic beer often costs €10-30. Sure I could go to Alko or buy online ten ok/good beers for €50 in the hopes of some being great. I'm tired of buying mediocre beers for €4-5 and then thinking 'Oh well, that could've been better, why didn't I buy this or that instead' or thinking that it was just Ok. If I buy music, I want it excellent too. I don't have shelf space for mediocre music anymore. I had 30 years ago. I want to discover new beers and have most of those so good that they leave me feeling I could buy another one if I had space. Just like music.
Sorry if this feels like I'm ranting and frothing in the mouth, haha
I guess I'm just going over in my head the reasons why I'm still in the beer club. The monthly beer boxes from two different places I've had in earlier years have been what I'm trying now to avoid. They cost around €50 + shipping each per month, with 8 beers each. But most of the beers were ok/good and they were of the middle strength, usually with one great beer each month, and only one topping 7,5% ABV. Comparing those to Mikkeller Beer Club makes a huge difference for me. This month I've tasted 6/8 of the beers and they are fantastic for me, I'm glad I got second cans in the fridge. And 5/8 of them are between 7,5-13% ABV.
