Hi Everyone,

Jane and I are away next weekend, so the shop will be closed on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th May - just the two days.

The shop will be open as usual on Tuesday 12th May.

There are a couple of Mangrove Jack kits, which are brand new. One is a 10pint trial Pilsner, and the other is a Cider Kit - well worth a look.

Spring has probably sprung, but not enough to put away the winter woollies. After all it's only a week or so since the Links market was in town.

It is however time to get your favourite wine or beer on for your first BBQ.

hope to see you soon

Hi Everyone,
Well it might just be that Spring is staggering into life, but taking it's time this year.
The shop will be closed for a few days as my wife and I are having a short break - it's one of these bus trips and we will be visiting the Newcastle area, with the highlights being "The Beamish museum" , historical Durham and the highlight for us a visit to Bamburgh Castle. The shop will therefore be shut on Tuesday 7th, Thursday 9th and Friday 10th April. The shop will open as usual on Saturday 11th, and as an extra on Sunday 12th from 1.00 - 4.00pm, for anyone who has tried to visit during the week.
It's time to get that spring brew organised, for the "expected" great spring weather.
All the best
Brian

Hi Everyone,
A successful weekend away and it's back to business as usual.
I hope you all have your wine on for Christmas, but if not then one of our 7day kits will get you there.
Speaking of Christmas, the shop will be closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, but open on Saturday 27th as normal. The shop will be closed on January 1st, and open again as normal on the 2nd and 3rd.
I am looking forward to welcoming all our customers in 2026, and I have some new ideas for small scale brewing.
All the best
Brian

Hi Everyone,
The shop will be closed next week on Tuesday 19th, Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd August for a short break, and will be open as usual on Saturday 23rd August.
Jane and I will be away on a short break to the Yorkshire dales.
As usual there is a notice in the shop window.
For those who have not been to the shop for a few weeks, we have a new neighbour next door - a gents hairdresser, who has relocated from St Clair Street.
Time to get that all important beverage started for your Autumn BBQ.
See you soon

Hi Everyone,
The shop will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 10th June) as I'm helping out with a visit to the Deer Park, Cupar. Unfortunately my wife is busy and cannot cover the shop on this occasion.
The visit to the Deer Park involves over 200 children and 100 helpers. We (Rotary Clubs around Dunfermline) have been doing this sort of event for many years now, and this is a re-run of last years event, which was very successful, with the children able to interact with the animals including feeding them.
The shop will open on Thursday as usual, but if you need anything urgently, I can open the shop on Wednesday. Just give me a call on
07964 259526.
The weather looks like it is going to be good tomorrow.
See you all soon
Brian

Hi everyone,
The shop will be closed this Saturday (24th May). Unfortinately, I cannot get cover, and I'm off to Dundee to the Rotary District Conference, which I'm expected to attend.
I propose to open up this SUNDAY (25th) to help with the short notice. This will also act as a trial to see if this might be popular, or of interest.
The shop is well stocked at the moment with beer and wine kits, so it's time to get brewing for that summer BBQ or sundowner glass of wine.
We've been a bit spoiled recently with glorious weather, but it looks like it might be coming to an end - I do hope the recent great weather was not our summer come early.
Hope to se you soon
Brian

Hi Everyone,

At last, Spring appears to have sprung. It's time to get those brews on, and shake of the winter gloom and doom.

As it's holiday time, Jane and I are going on one of those geriatric bus trips for a few days next week, so the shop will be closed on Tuesday 25th, Thursday 27th and Friday 28th - open as usual on Saturday 29th. Short notice booking, and although there will be a lot of "old" people there, we will make the most of it. The target is Warwick Castle as part of our collection.

I am going to put together a beer recipe collection, with easy to follow instructions, for both beginner and experienced brewers.

It is the year end in a weeks time, but a new order in the pipeline for when we get back.

I look forward to seeing you.

All the best

Brian
