Not having a beer in Prague would be a mistake even if you think you don’t like beer. Beer is to Czechs what wine is to the French - just walk into any restaurant and order their “house beer”, and it will be cheap and good. And the Czech beer culture is unique in several ways. We Czechs actually do love beer and drink a lot of it. While ”Czech Republic means beer” may sound as a cliché, it is mostly right. Of course, this is disrespectful of the beautiful Czech and Moravian wine production that we are so fond of, but the undeniable fact is that the Czech beer culture is one of the strongest unifying themes in the Czech national identity. One of the best things about the shop is the ability to have a blether with like minded people.You know what they say: ”The best Czech wine is… beer.” I’m proud that we have managed to achieve both those aims and we welcome customers from near and far, many of whom have become friends. I wanted to become both a destination for serious beer fans and also a local shop servicing the community when they wanted a tasty beer. Grunting Growler and Good Spirits Beer had opened, Hippo had closed, and closer to home now friends Marchtown and Koelschip Yard had also opened, creating a healthy beer scene in the city, and one that we are proud to be a part of. The Glasgow beer landscape had changed in that time. Unforeseen delays delayed the launch of the shop but we eventually opened in October 2017.

Inspired by those shops, and bottle shops in London, I decided to open the first dedicated beer bottle shop in the southside. I also quickly got fed up with having to travel back to the west end, visiting the sadly departed Hippo Beers, Valhallas and The Cave, to buy beer. At that time I was looking to change careers, fed up with working for the man, promoting products and services I didn’t believe in, in a corporate marketing job. In 2015 Sandra and I moved from the west end of Glasgow to the southside. Your payment method will be re-applied each month you remain a member, and you’ll receive your box at the start of each month, ready to enjoy.

Don’t expect big hitting Triple IPAs or Imperial Stouts – the boxes will focus on well-balanced sessionable beers. You’ll be receiving the same premium beers that you’ll see in the fridges or on the website, just without the hassle of choosing them.įor your £10 a week (and normal shipping costs) you’ll typically receive 7 or 8 beers, depending on what’s fresh in from breweries that month (although I might throw in a classic every now and again). I’m not buying pedestrian, run-of-the-mill beers to fill your box like other subscription services do. Take the time and pain out of choosing and let me surprise you with a selection of beers from our premium stock every month – IPAs and pales, porters and stouts, lagers, sours. Welcome to Wee Beer Club, our monthly beer box service for beer lovers who just can’t choose which beers they’d like to try each month from the huge range we offer. You already know that I only choose the best beers I can for the shop so why not trust me to choose a selection for you every month. No time to visit the shop or browse the website? Overwhelmed by the extensive range available?
