Yesterday was Ester's first visit to one of our favourite places in the world, Knepp Wilding. Here she is, gawping directly away from an active stork nest 👌

Now we're all off to Canterbury for a couple of nights to see how far we can push our parenting luck. The shop will be closed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Back open midday Friday as normal.

Thanks for your understanding,

M, N, E & E x

We'll be closed Tuesday (22nd) - Thursday (24th) next week for Mary's Traditional Birthday Self Indulgence, and so Nick can have a couple of days off and we can do our first tiny trip away with the little baby. Wish us luck 🫠 Reopening Friday (25th) as normal.

WHAT an afternoon! 🔆🌡️😎... 🍻?... 🥂??

If you're torn between aromatic bubbles, a spicy, zesty orange wine and a stone-fruity sour beer, meet our current favourite sunny afternoon fizz: Crazy Crazy.

It's a German skin contact pet nat with all the fresh juiciness of a sour beer, and at just 10% it's the perfect guilt free way to toast a Friday afternoon heatwave.

Huzzah!

Who doesn't love a US collab? How about a burly beast of a DIPA from none other than Beak and New York's Fidens? Packed with the freshest of fresh Motueka hops, backed up by Citra and Nelson Sauvin. It's opaque, it's smooth, it's citrus. You'll be well irked if you miss it.

Two ludicrous new Azvex offerings AT ONCE this week.

SCOOP: 6% strawberry cheesecake icecream sour. We missed out on the last Scoop so we were straight on the preorder for this one.

MANA: 6% mandarin and coconut smoothie sour. If you've met any previous Manas, you know what to expect. Thicc, froot, etc.

Last weekend Eel & Bear turned seven 🎂 We decided to give our traditional giant debauched birthday blowout a miss this year, owing to the little attention-seeking baby simultaneously celebrating one month.

We're deeply grateful to Mary's Mum for sending these exquisite blooms so the shop didn't feel left out, and to all of our customers and friends for their wonderful support over the years and especially over the last few weeks. A wild year for sure.

Open as usual this week...
