POV: You start your shift with a hangover… then discover GOOD LIFE Superfood Kitchen & Coffee House 🍵😂

Great to see another quality independent business open in the town ✨️🫶🏼

“POV: You’ve got an event to run and the generator clocks off early.”

We tried everything… repeatedly… aggressively… emotionally 😫😴😭

Well today didn’t quite go to plan… 😅

After a run of bad luck - our generator not turning up, then the replacement refusing to start - we honestly started to believe that we wouldn’t be able to trade at all 😭

BUT… along came the absolute legends Gary & Barbara who kindly brought a generator down for us 🙌🏻 Because of them, we were able to get up and running!

We’re so grateful - thank you both again, and thank you to everyone who came down to the Friends of Fairhaven Lake Food Festival and supported a host of local independent businesses ❤️

On a brighter note, the triplets were completely unbothered by all the chaos 🤣

🚨 HELP NEEDED 🚨

We're trading today at the Friends of Fairhaven Lake food festival but Smiths Tool Hire haven't shown up with the generator we booked and they're closed for Bank Holiday 😭

Does anyone have a generator we could kindly borrow for the day 🙏🏻

What started as a few local orders has now turned into deliveries all across the UK – from Inverness right down to Cornwall, and plenty in between 🍺

Seeing all those locations on the map really puts it into perspective. Every pint icon represents one of you supporting us! ❤️

Our online shop is growing every week, making it easier than ever to get your hands on some proper craft beer and have it delivered direct to your door - whether it’s for a quiet one at home, the weekend, or a gift 🎁

If you haven’t checked it out yet, our online store can be found at www.thehopshoppe.co.uk 🍻

Thanks for bearing with us while we get things sorted!

Today feels a little more than coincidence!

We took delivery of a beer called Immaculate Haircut - a name that instantly made us smile, because it couldn’t be more fitting for someone who was a dear friend to us and many others. He was unbelievably particular about his hair… and to be fair, there was never a hair out of place.

What we didn’t realise when we ordered it is that today marks two years since he grew his wings 🤍

So this one’s for you Selvan Acehan 🍻

Perfect hair, always. Missed every day, never forgotten.

GLOOP, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, 10% 🤎

This week marks the return of our brownie batter infused cream stout, and our highest ever rated beer.

Now it’s ready, and launching exclusively across venues in The Vault, our trade loyalty programme. Check our story highlight to find your nearest venue and tune in tomorrow at 12 for our Gloop-Finder map. We may also have a small number of cans leftover for our webshop in the coming weeks 👀
