New: Returnable 1 Litre Bottles Now Available
18 February 2021

New returnable 1 litre bottles now available!
Today is the day we move towards a more environmentally friendly
brewery.
From today we are swapping our old clear 1 litre bottles for
brown, swing-top, returnable bottles. With the introduction of the
bottles, over 40% of our beer sold through the shop, drive-through
and home delivery will be in returnable, reusable containers.
Here are some Q&As we hope clear up all of your questions,
any other questions please email or call us on 01628476594.
Enjoy the new bottles!
Why the change?
Reduce the environmental impact of the brewery
Improved beer quality
How to return your bottles?
If dropping back to the brewery, simply bring them along and
when you place your order we'll take them off your hands and
refund you 30p for each return.
Online, you'll be able to enter the number of bottles you'd like
collected and the discount will be added to the order you're
placing. Our driver will then collect the bottles when we deliver
your order. Please leave empty bottles in an obvious place if
you'll be out when we deliver.
Where to return your bottles
At the brewery. Go to the shop (when open) or drive-through. Our
staff will be on-hand to help.
We will collect them from your house when we deliver your next
order, this only applies to local home delivery service, not orders
sent via courier we're afraid.
Do you need to rinse your bottle before returning
it?
Please rinse out the bottle with water when it is empty, avoid
putting anything in the bottle.
Close the swing top to keep it sealed and stop it from drying
out, that really helps in minimising the chemicals used during the
cleaning process.
How much do you get for returning a
bottle?
You'll receive 30p per bottle returned.
Can I save up the credit and use it
later?
No, your discount is taken off the total of an order placed at
the same time as the bottles are returned or when the order is
placed online.
Will a 1 litre cost more to buy?
Not if/when you bring the empty back. The beer is
actually 10p cheaper, however the refundable deposit of
30p is added to the price of a 1L bottle. This is
to help incentivise customers to bring back the bottles and
therefore reduce our glass usage significantly.
I don't want to pay more for re-usable
bottles?
You don't, provided you can get them back to us or we collect
them within our free home delivery area, if fact you save money by
doing so.
Unfortunately, whilst we would love to keep the prices as now,
the project would be too loss making for us to be able to continue
with it long term. Clearly if you don't bring the bottles
back, you are paying 20p more than now and we are sorry for that.
We considered running with our existing bottles + the new ones but
logistically this would be very difficult for us and would then
restrict our 1 litre bottled range as we would have to hold 2 x 1
litre stock items for each product. We are hoping that you find the
new bottles offer a sufficiently higher quality of beer that you
feel it's still good value for the price. Alternatively, bring them
back and save money.
How do I get my refund online?
Once you get to the checkout in our online shop, a pop-up
box will appear to ask if you have any empties to return. You will
automatically be credited on your current order for the number of
empties you want us to collect. Our driver will then collect the
empties when he makes the delivery. For any empty bottle
collection, you need to fulfil the normal free delivery rules. We
can't just come by to collect empties only unfortunately.
Where to buy your new 1 litre swing top
bottles

drive-through

Is there a maximum number of bottles that can be
returned at once?
