What do you mean by something *special*? Don’t be put off - we're not expecting the rarest, oldest, smallest batch beers (although if you have any, feel free!). Just bring something you really like, or you'd love to share, or maybe you've been waiting on something like this to crack open that certain something? Failing that, pop in the shop and we can help you out.

Capacity is very limited so we're asking for £5 to reserve your space. We'll use it to get some Pizza Social pizza & nibbles in to share!
