– New Beers.
The Port Street beer list is an ever increasing beast. This week we had some fine new deliveries from across the pond. There’s also a photo of the current cask selection from slightly closer to home. Don’t forget we’re closed on Mondays but pop along tomorrow if you want to snap up one of the last remaining Caldera cans.
– Week Two.
So, our first weekend went well, thanks to everyone who came down. You pretty much drank us out of some of our beers, we had to get emergency top up deliveries on Saturday morning! Thanks to Moravka and Prospect for helping us out with that. This week we have some pretty exciting new deliveries, I’ll post up some more details tomorrow, don’t want to get you too excited. There’s some pretty special American stuff en route and something from Darkstar which is so new it needs to be kept in the cellar for a week.
Little apology goes out to all the guys who enjoyed the view from the men’s toilets (direct eye level with a pole dancing class). We have ruined your fun and covered it up. ha.
In other Port Street news, so far this week we’ve had our snagging list with the builders so there are a few bits to touch up and finish off. Some of you observant types may have noticed that not all the lamps could be plugged in, that the accessible toilet hand dryer didn’t really work (at all) and that the lighting on the bar was wonky. Well that’s all sorted!
We also have some more fencing on it’s way to fence off the bin store, along with some more picnic benches and hopefully some planters. We’re exploring the options of growing our own hops. Should be a fine little beer yard when this weather eases up.
It was staff training day yesterday. We’re now replete with interesting beer facts, I’m sure the bar staff will enlighten you. If they can remember that is, we did end up trying quite a few. One of the many perks of working in a beer house.
At the moment we’re open every day except Mondays, from 4pm in the week and 12 noon at weekends. Hope to see you this week.
– As it was…
Before I post up pics of the opening, here are a few pictures of how Port Street Beer House looked in May, back when we first viewed it.
