Continuing the Easter & chocolate theme....

Two more new beers from .

First up is their Hot Cross Berry Buns:

Our tart take on hot cross buns pairs a medley of juicy berries with sweet icing and a hint of cinnamon, creating a soft, pillowy mouthfeel - just like a warm pastry.

Then comes Nitro Mini M*rs:

A fun-size version of a Vault City classic, packed to the brim with all the chocolatey, caramel goodness of the original but now with a slightly more sessionable ABV and a smooth, creamy nitro twist.

Available from tomorrow in .

How do you eat/drink yours?

With Easter just around the corner, I've today taken delivery of a new stout.

Their latest imperial stout was inspired by the iconic crème-y taste of a certain chocolate egg... With a velvety texture among layers of intense chocolate and smooth vanilla, they've encapsulated the unique gooey goodness and caramelised sweetness in a decadent dessert stout.

Available in the shop in from tomorrow. Limited stock, so get there quick.

Continuing our Porto trip.

Today we visited 'The Most Beautiful Bookshop in the World' - the Livraria Lello.

It truly is remarkable. Have to buy a ticket and queue to get in, but it's worth it (plus you get the ticket price knocked off any book you buy).

Another place worth visiting is the Mercardo do

Great beer is great beer the world over.

If you're ever in Porto be sure to check this bar/taproom out.

Did you know.....

There are only 10 Trappist Breweries in the world.

One of those 10 is in the UK, near Coalville in Leicestershire. is brewed at Mount Saint Bernard Monastery and I went to visit them this week and brought back a couple of their beers, and some beautiful glasses/goblets to enjoy them from.

Tynt Meadow Blond: Our Blond is light and bittersweet in a classic English style, with lemon zest on the nose, followed by hints of orange, vanilla, and sherbet. Though it shares ingredients with Tynt Meadow, Blond offers a zesty twist on the original.

Tynt Meadow Ale: Tynt Meadow has a mahogany colour with a warm red hue and a lastin beige head. Enjoy aromas of dark chocolate, liquorice, and rich fruit flavours, with a full-bodied taste of dark chocolate, pepper and fig.

It's PUTTTY Time.

Picked up my allocation of this year's monster offering of Puttty from yesterday - so I'm a bit late to the party, but hey, here we are.

As usual, all the world's stock of Galaxy, Azacca and Mosaic hops have been crammed into this massive beer. A 10% TIPA (Triple IPA) that's full to the brim with tropical fruit goodness. If you thought you'd missed the hype-train this year, fear not, you might just be able to get aboard if you visit my shop in .

Thought this song was appropriate today:

Mr Blue Sky - ELO

"Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin', everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day? Hey"

Deja Vu - a feeling of having already experienced the present situation.

Yep, I'm definitely feeling that. This time last year we were setting up our shop in readiness for the first day trading for the year. Today I am doing the exact same thing - stocking as many great beers and spirits as I can into the fridges and onto the shelves.

Lots of new producers to our shop, including , , , . These all sit alongside more familiar names, such as , , , .ives_brewery, , , , , , and .

Doors to the reopen at 10am tomorrow, Saturday 15 Feb and we all look forward to welcoming you back.

Got to get in on Putty Day. What self-respected bottle shop couldn't?

Fear not, if you can't get hold of any right now, just know I've got your back. I will have some available in my shop when it reopens on 15 February.

This is a great beer. The release has been spot on, as there's no hop burn or 'green' flavour that had been there before (although not always). This has a truffle-like quality about it, a lovely savoriness/umami flavour going on.

If you want big, punchy flavours this is the beer for you.

This is the kind of Christmas time tradition I can get used to.

For the second year I am fortunate to be able to put these side by side, and compare the two of them with each other at the same time.

Unfortunately, this is not the best glass-wear, but sometimes you just have to work with the tools you are given.

These two Belgian Monasteries, and these two quads, have a rich and interlocking history over the last nearly 200 years. Too much to go into here, but in essence - beer has been brewed at the Saint Sixtus Monastery (Westvleteren) since 1838, with a brief spell of them 'outsourcing' brewing to St Bernadus after WW2 until 1992 when brewing returned to Saint Sixtus to maintain/retain Trappist status.

Both beers are great, full of dark fruit & caramel flavours. Think Christmas pudding/cake in a bottle. The Westvleteren is slightly darker in colour, with the St Bernadus being more lively out of the bottle and into the glass.

They are similar, but also very different. Overall, the Westvleteren wins it for me. It's smoother, richer, fruitier. There's dried fruit, cherries, dark sugar, rich caramel in abundance, alongside a hint of almonds.

Looking forward to next Christmas for another side-by-side.

We are nearing the end of the year, and closes its door around 5pm(ish) on 3 January until 15 February.

However. I've had a few more bottles of Cornish Dry Gin and Spiced Rum delivered to me today, so if you are in need of a re-stock yourself, pop down to my shop.

A big thank you once again to everybody who has been in this year - I look forward to seeing you again soon.
