Well, just over a month since our last post, and everything is different whilst staying exactly the same. We’re in the middle of Lockdown II (in your bubble, up to 6 people of your household can hear you scream) and it seems to have been raining since the DAWN OF TIME! Sorry to go all caps there, but when a Welshman tells you it’ s been too wet recently it’s probably one of the signs of the apocalypse.

So, here’s some good news for a change. We’ve managed to source some more Citra hops, so have decided to keep Diolch, our organic 4.4% pale available for the rest of the year. We’ll only have a couple of hundred cases and mini pins, though, so order early to avoid disappointment!

In more good news, we’ve managed to get (just about) our full range back in stock after a few weeks of mammoth brewing and bottling sessions. Including, finally, Premium Crystal! Hopefully the threats of violence will stop now…

And, just to remind you, despite the lockdown, the brewery shop is still open for safe shopping 6 days a week, and we can always deliver direct to your door via courier, brewery van and, surprisingly often, in the back of my car on the way home. You can order through the website, or call us on 01291 690074 if you’d like to talk an actual person.

Now, Christmas. At this point, we don’t know how or in what form Christmas will look or take place. We’re going to try and cover all the possible contingencies. If restrictions are eased, we’ll be here right up to Christmas Eve and between Christmas and New Year to fulfil all your beery needs, including our ever popular 36 pint pins. If not, we’ll still keep the brewery shop open to the same hours, and we can deliver to you and presents to kith and kin right up to December 23rd. Whatever the situation, we’re going to make dam’ sure lack of beer is not an issue.

Finally, some of you lovely lot have been kind enough to let us know that we’ve helped keep a smile on your face during this horrible year. You should know that all our customers have helped do exactly the same for us.

Take Care, Stay Safe,
