Due to some poor planning & our enforced social distancing we didn't have a cellar this month. Hopefully we've kept you up to date with some of the newer interesting beer releases as well as some news. I've had a busy few weeks at work but hope to be pumping out some more Year of the Local posts shortly. In the meantime emails to either [e-mail] or our new address [e-mail]. You can now also reach Dylan at [e-mail]. Stay safe everyone!

Remember it's always Beer O'Clock somewhere in the world!
