– Port Street Beer Garden
Thought it was about time we added some colour to the beer garden. We have a hop garden – half of which is flourishing and the other half hasn’t even sprouted yet, a herb garden, an oriental garden and some flowers beds. We are contemplating painting the back wall a nicer colour, there are some more plants coming and we’re drawing up plans for a corner bench. Pretty darn exciting.
– Beautiful new interior shots
Manox photography brought round his camera the other day and took some splendid pictures of the place that we wanted to share with you all. Enjoy

– Signs and Beer Fonts
Just a quick one to introduce you to our lovely new signs which went up this week and also the MEGA fonts. These were coming all the way from Italy, so are pretty darn special. They have been running a little behind schedule but now they’re here and we’ve seen this size of them we understand why they couldn’t just be posted. A tad bigger than expected but all the more amazing for it.
– 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.
