MRC Cardiff

Zwanze 2021 Spaces AVAILABLE Our first return to “drinking in” is a globally co-ordinated beer launch. BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL Saturday 25th September 12pm - 5pm 6pm - 11pm Sunday 26th September 12pm - 5pm

An attack on Bute Park is an attack on Cardiff is an attack on us all... Thousands of pounds worth of damage, 50 trees destroyed… Crimestoppers: 0800 555 111.

Positives to take from this latest sham? 1) This might result in more people believing us when we say this is absolutely standard practice at BrewDog. 2) It might make BrewDog slow down, cut the crap, and use this as an opportunity to do better in the future.

It is totally unsurprising, but always concerning, to see yet another example of how lies and deceit have become fully normalised at BrewDog. They stated that our claims were outdated and that they are a different business now, but this proves otherwise. theguardian.com/business/2021/…

Without Us, We Are Nothing

An open letter, to BrewDog.

Here at The Bottle Shop we (Nat) struggle to limit ourselves as to the amount of new beer we can squeeze on the shelves. So we thought it best to get a beer bulletin out to you god folk... 1/2 @BrewYonder @kernelbrewery @DurationBeer @trackbrewco

Across all three shops right this minute!!! @VerdantBrew Putty 8.0% DIPA @CF11BottleShop @CF24BottleShop @CF64BottleShop Basically we got you covered Cardiff 🙌

In the meantime stay safe and stay home. Thanks for understanding and helping us feel confident to take a break. Love The Bottle Shop X

What this does mean though, is TODAY is your last chance to stock up for the week ahead as we won’t be open again until Friday the 15th. Our home delivery service will resume on Tuesday the 19th of the month for those needing it.

So as a result after today we will be taking just a couple of extra days off before resuming our new “normal” trading pattern of Tuesdays to Saturdays. We have future goals of getting the shops back open on a Sunday when we grow our team.

IMPORTANT JANUARY OPENING HOURS UPDATE!!! We appreciate all the support of 2020, it was an exhausting and testing time. Not once did we cease trading during the whole series of lockdowns and we managed to open our third site. All only possible with your choice to support local.

I don't know how to tweet this without sounding like a sanctimonious prick, but I'm truly disgusted by the number of people I know breaking Tier 4 rules. Do you think you're exempt because you drink oat milk lattes? The stupidity is stunning.

Beer shelves are almost full @CF11BottleShop .....👀 Not long now......

Like Albariño?? Well hot damn if this isn’t the BEST expression of the grape we’ve had on the shelves. Unbelievably it was cropped onto underperforming Cabernet vines in 2018 and took immediately to produce a 2019 vintage. That’s not even the best part.....

Friendly Bottle Shop Update!! Under the guidelines announced by Welsh Government effective Friday October 23rd 6pm we will still be able to carry on as we currently have been.

The Belgian Love Affair continues! Tilquin has dropped their latest small batch seasonal on us, Groseille A Maquereau 2019-20. We have only 12 bottles across the two stores, to purchase one, it must be in conjunction with another bottle of Tilquin from our epic takeaway range.

Whether you like your bourbon with a bit of age or a bit of rye we got you covered 😉......
