🤩 Marvel at the frankly ridiculous amounts of new beers we have this week 🤩 Thank you to everyone who's been coming in and buying beers which allows us to get lots of new tasty brews in for you all to enjoy ⭐

🔶 There's too many to list here but we've got some brand new and returning favourites from breweries across Wales and beyond. We've also got a fresh drop from including some decadent stouts and a fantastic Belgian dubbel!

🍻 A new brewery for us - are based out of Caerphilly and we've got some juicy, hop-packed IPAs and a DIPA in the fridges which we highly recommend trying. To our customers who are big fans of Polly's, you don't want to miss out on giving these a go!

🐉 Don't forget you can check out all the new arrivals on our online shop - www.welshbottleshop.com! Iechyd Da!

Siren brewery is probably our favourite brewery and it's their 12th birthday today.

We have a mini tap take over with a Ddh version of lumina, an amazing futuristic ipa using future ingredients a decedent 12% stout and a barrel aged barley wine.

For the first customers to try at least 2 of the Siren beers you'll get a free glass. 😊

🛠️ To all our crafty customers - some of our beer comes in plastic keykegs which are difficult to recycle conventionally so we were hoping there might be some people in the community that could put them to good use!

🌱 We've had people make planters, fermenters, boat ballast and roofing tiles before but we'd be really interested to see what you can come up with!

📽️ There is an excellent set of videos with some fantastic ideas and guides by which are well worth checking out!

✨ Get in touch if you would like some - whether it's just the one or a load!

⭐ February is a short month so it's quizzing time already! Come join us on Tuesday 4th March for the usual brain-busting and head-scratching questions!

🧠 Last months winners (by half a point 😬) were "The Gang Goes To Quiz" which is an It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia reference and tempted as I am to do an entire round on that excellent show I'll think of something vaguely related to the topic as usual!

❓We've been filling up Bank Vault since moving down there so highly recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment. Get in touch on our socials or email [email protected] and we'll secure you a space!

✴️ They're opening Sunday 16th February so give them a follow on social media to keep up to date and pop down and show your support!

🧠 Don't forget it's the Bank Vault quiz on Tuesday! 🧠

⭐ There are still tables available so get in touch to book - we had a full house last month so would definitely advise to secure yourselves a space! ⭐
