A genuine modern classic, Allagash White is everything you could ask from a Belgian-style Witbier. We only get a few cases once in a while, so grab it while you can.

Just in from Newbarns - Lothian Lager (Helles) & Major Label (Black IPA). These are both first-time takes on the style for the Leith legends, I think we all trust them to smash it out the park.

We might just about be heading towards BBQ season, so how about a bit of rauchbier to get you in the mood? Schlenkerla Fastenbier (lentbier) & Erle (schwartzbier) just arrived!

The guys at Overtone don’t exactly have a ‘core range’ of beers, but certain recipes do get remade more often than others! One example is Atomic, DDH IPA and a great example of what they’re all about. A personal favourite.

Got a good look inside the NHS yesterday, and while resources are obviously stretched, service was caring, friendly & efficient. (OK, one person was sullen & pretty rude, but who knows what kind of day they were having). In the main, I felt safer & reassured in the hands of these brilliant people. ❤️

IT’S PUTTY TIME! @verdantbrew.bsky.social’s iconic DIPA is now on sale - will allow keepsies at one per customer on the socials, but it’s all up for grabs for those who head round in person.

A rare Sunday shift for me to round off a topsy-turvy sort of week! It's Daniel's birthday weekend so he's got the day off, I'll be in here till 6 for anything you need 😊

We're back! No damage to the shop front and ready to go after a very strange day yesterday. Pop by and share tales of mini lockdown!

020

Against the Grain @atgbeer.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

If anything, conditions seem to have worsened in the last hour, so I've taken the difficult decision to stay closed for the rest of the day. Gutted to lose the Friday business but safety first. If you were planning to come in tonight, please PLEASE pop by tomorrow and restock - take care, Sam ❤️

Against the Grain @atgbeer.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

So obviously, we're not going to open this morning. It wouldn't be safe for me to walk to work & I don't really want to be seen as encouraging people to go out anyway. If by any chance things quieten down by late afternoon I'll think about opening back up, but looks highly unlikely. Stay safe pals!

020

Against the Grain @atgbeer.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

In response to the weather warning, we are currently rated 'doubtful' for being able to open on Friday. I'll keep an eye on things & make a decision in the morning, but if you get the chance to drop in this evening & stock up, please do. Those of you with kids at school may need extra supplies!
