As all orders are paid for in the UK, VAT is payable on all online shop orders regardless of the final destination country. We are looking into options how to reduce these costs for international customers, but cannot offer refunds for UK VAT at this stage, unfortunately.
Packaging and Storage
Brown and Green glass are favoured for their ability to inhibit or reduce skunking of hops in beer that were added (and boiled) during the brew day. We use both, brown and clear glass bottles. Clear glass allows the beautiful visual characteristics of our stouts and fruited beers (or any other beers also made with little to no chance of skunking by way of little to no hops used during the brew day) to shine.
We don’t think clear glass will influence this beer’s potential to age gracefully, but good ageing practices should be routine for best experiences: Age bottles in a steady low temperature environment, away from strong odours, mould, sources of heat and light.
Although some of our beers will develop new characteristics over time, the connoisseur will recognise ageing as a process as more of slow flavour change (some fresh characteristics may mellow or fall away entirely in order for additional complexities or subtleties to reveal themselves).
