Thank You

So on the 25th March we closed the doors not knowing what was to be.  Would the shop reopen? Would Bath ever reopen? How were we going to pay the bills & staff? Were we ever going to see YOU again?

Such a sad day.

So we emptied the shop and prepared for lockdown.

Sad times at the beginning of lockdown

We reopened the shop on the 29th May and wow you were amazing.

You poured back in the doors and we didn't even tell you.  It was great to see so many familiar faces after being locked up for so long.

...

So then the news that bars could reopen - YES! YES! YES! - but at the same time SH1T!  How the hell is social distancing going to work?  Panic!!!

So sorry for not opening the bar straight away.  We wanted to wait a little and see how others were doing it to make sure we got it right.

...

So on the 15th July, we did it!  We put the tables and chairs on the pavement, sorted out the seating and opened the bar.  YES! YES! YES!

...

You all have been amazing.  Thank you for all the support.  Thank you for keeping to the distancing rules.  Thank you for helping us by buying gift vouchers. Thank you for the kind words, emails and texts.

WOW! Beer Of The Week

Between us (and you), we drink a lot of beer and sometimes one really stands out and makes you go "WOW!"

This is Davin's current WOW! beer.

Tram, a Double New England IPA by Salt  Beer Factory.

Smooth, gentle sweetness, countered by a little bitter note.  Tropical, almost sharp fruitiness, with a good boozy finish. 

Sometimes it's the setting that helps make a beer special, so let just set the scene... The first long weekend away since all this kicked off.  Relaxed!   Sat in front of the tent in Cornwall, just has an awesome BBQ and watching the stars twinkling in the gaps between the rain clouds.

If you've had a beer that you think should be our WOW! Beer, then tag us in a great pic and tell us why you think your beer is awesome!

Verdant it out!

Since moving into their new brewery in Falmouth, Cornwall at the beginning of the year, Verdant are banging our some great beers - Keep em coming! 

This is probably the largest range of Verdant we have ever had in our shop and with 2 to come on tap soon.

We did hope to bring you some pics of their tap room in Falmouth, but due to the current situation, they were only doing take away.

It's Play Time...

A new brewery to us here and their beers are smashing it.

You know a beer is going to be good when the cans look this funky!  A recent newcomer to the craft beer scene, from Middlesbrough.  Play Brew Co are already pushing 4 on untappd as a brewery.

We even have their IPA on tap right now.  You will be amazed!

It's meant to be nice for the next few days, so pop in, have a beer, take an awesome pic and tag us.

See you all soon!
