For those that say we're a shop and shouldn't be political. Well, life is political. And we/I have opinions. When my two passions music and beer are being shat on, staying silent is not an option.

It's still quiet in the shop and online at the moment. We figured on a slow down as things opened up - but trading is currently much tougher than we thought it would be. If you are thinking of grabbing some beers, please do consider us an option. #shoplocal #useusorloseus

We're losing breweries and other beer related businesses at an alarming (yet predictable) rate. It's tough out there. Where possible support your local brewery and beer shops. We have contingencies plans for next year and we're hopeful of making it through these tough times.

We had our first test pour from our taps last night. A few small kinks to be ironed out - but hopefully we'll be serving take-away keg beer in the next 2 weeks. Hopefully a few 'pop up' nights for having a beer will be happening soon! More news as we get it!
