3 Brewers Classic 500ml Bottle
Regular price £3.25Classic English Ale 4.0% abv
St Albans
Hertfordshire
The purest water from their own borehole, fresh natural ingredients and a little OCD!
We could tell you that our friends, the 3 Brewers of St Albans, have created an ale that has a deep amber colour, a light hoppy aroma and a rich and rounded malty taste balanced by subtle hoppiness to give a supremely clean, smooth and refreshing taste, but there's no need really. Suffice to say that we think they've created a modern classic here and we're pretty confident that you'll agree - just don't tell the Brewers about the OCD comment, particularly not the big one....
Brewed using only British hops.

Wimbushes Vineyard St Albans
Andy and Karina Harrison decided to plant an acre of vines on their beautiful Chiswell Green property about 10 years ago, as a hobby. In 2018 they appointed Suffolk winemaker (and ex-surgeon) Michael Rhodes to turn their Solaris and Rondo grapes into wine. In recent years, due to careful vineyard management by David Savage and the vines maturing healthily, the fruit and their talented winemaker, they have produced some seriously good English wine. These wines are produced in very small quantities, so we do tend to limit the amount of bottles purchased by any one household.

40% ABV
Hitchin Elderflower & Borage Honey Gin 70cl
Regular price £39.95A delicate Summer inspired London Dry Gin infused with locally foraged elderflower and raw Borage Honey. Perfect for Summer cocktails or a simple G&T in the (ever elusive) British sunshine!
40% ABV
Appearance: Pale, lemon-gold, greenish hues
Combining our classic approach of intertwining honey hues with a softer white floral element that adds clarity.
Bouquet: Fresh Elderflower, subtle cucumber, candied lemon
A unique take on our classic style. Gentle floral notes come through and are balanced by a precise cucumber character that sits firmly in the background alongside a candied lemon note, with the sweet scent of honey holding it all together
Taste: Waxy lemon, elderflower, cucumber
If this doesn’t instantly transport you to a village cricket pitch on an English Summer’s day, with the gentle hum of bees working away, nothing will!
The palate is fresh and crisp with a crunch of fresh bunches of elderflower that is wonderfully balanced by a cooling note of sweetened cucumber and earthy honey. The expectation is that the sweetness will stay, but it tenderly vanishes and leaves in its place a long finish of seasonal flowers, summer vegetables and sultry solstice honey.
Hitchin Honey Rum 70cl
Regular price £37.95This 5 year aged rum is crafted with a medley of spices including pink peppercorns, star anise, cloves and cinnamon and infused with raw honey from our own hives. Delicious served in a warming spiced rum hot toddy. Enjoy!
40% ABV
Appearance: Hazy, sunburst orange, gold
Sunrise in a glass. Just as the sun creeps over the horizon with a golden glow, the rum shines with bright orange hues through a haze of honey that creates a warm and inviting glass.
Bouquet: Waxed orange, autumnal spice
The nose erupts with soft subtle hints of waxey orange rind, and a sweet autumnal spice such as cinnamon and nutmeg. All brought together with a delicate note of our honey.
Palate: Vanilla, honey, toast, blood orange
To taste, the rum is bright and vibrant displaying its youth. The honey is prominent and balanced perfectly with notes of toast and vanilla from the oak ageing of the base spirit. The acidity is juicy and holds a character of blood orange, not too sweet and not too tart. The autumnal spice present in the bouquet holds strong on the palate and marries up the other flavours well.
This is definitely as fun and as lively as our previous honey-infused concoctions however, this is a much more serious and sophisticated beast.
