Its chilly today so does that mean Christmas is coming?
Not yet, but we do have a Christmas related thing for you...

This year, we have a limited amount of our beer advent calendars and when they are gone they are gone.

If you are interested we will be taking orders now. We really do only have a small amount available though so please get in touch if you are after one...

We will still be doing our 12 days of Christmas and giftsets but not until closer to Christmas!

Thanks :)
