Have you tried Stella Unfiltered 5%? 🍻

Now we’ve had this gem on the T-Bar for a little while now and we know it’s a few people’s tipple of choice - but here’s a little showcase of this stunning beer for the folks out there who haven’t given it a try … yet 👀

So what is unfiltered beer? Well it’s just that! Beer that hasn’t been filtered. Naturally unfiltered beers allow for the more complex flavours and aromas to remain within the beer, and not be removed after the fermentation process.

This hazy, golden lager offers a greater roundness and smoother feel but also retains a crisp and refreshing taste.

It’s definitely been one of our favourites recently, and even better it’s vegan and vegetarian friendly 🌱

So what are you waiting for? Give it a try the next time you pop in to see us! 🤩

Look at all these beauties! Our gin and vodka section is bursting with flavour right now.

Brand new in we have Chase English Rhubarb Vodka, it’s crisp and bursting with fresh rhubarb sweetness and tartness.

Try with Fever Tree ginger ale 🍹

What a better way to begin preparations for pride than to add this delicious IPA from ***rbrewing .

Q***r brewing is a q***r- and trans-owned brewery who's aim is to increase visibility and representation for LGBTQ+ people through beer. They've raised tens of thousands of pounds for LGBTQ+ charities in numerous countries!

This beer will definitely sell out fast so be sure to come and grab your pint/s while stocks last!!

Do you love rum as much as us?

We have some beautiful rums in at the moment but we thought we would highlight these beauties! 🧉🥃

We have with a fan favourite spiced Caribbean rum - 10% of all of their profits go to sea turtle conservation projects as well! What's not to love. 🐢

Next up is the legendary bringing a celebration of Caribbean with a blend of caramelised banana and warm spices.🍌

New on our list is made in France and aged in cognac barrels made with a selection of spices but most noticeably ginger! 🫚

Another newbie is a naturally infused smoked rum which we can't wait to try! 💨

Last but definitely not least is with their formerly known plantation pineapple rum bringing you all your pineapple needs. 🍍

Don't worry if you're not a fan of Caribbean or spiced rums we have plenty of dark, white and other rums!

Ask us about our unofficial super secret rum club to find out and try what we've got in!
