We’re making a few changes in the coming week we wanted to share with you:
Firstly, Fraser has headed off to an exciting new role and will be putting his encyclopedic knowledge of b**r to excellent use at the fabulous Bristol brewery, Lost and Grounded. We are incredibly grateful for his knowledge, passion, commitment and the fun he’s brought to the shop.
Unfortunately, we have decided to stop trading as The Hop Shop, and will be closing the space on Sunday evening.
We are very proud of our vibrant little store, with its huge range of different specialist drinks, and have loved serving all our loyal customers.
However, there just isn’t enough regular trade to sustain it, particularly with increasing costs and tough headwinds coming this way. The Hop Shop will be open normally with Alison running the show until then, so please come down at the weekend to snap up some bargains in the w**e and c***r department.
After which, you can pop in during pub hours next week if you need anything to take away, and we’ll happily serve you from there.
We have some ideas and plans for the future of the space that we are currently exploring and we’ll let you know what we are able to do, as soon as we know.
Nothing changes for The Hop Inn at all, and off-sales of selected b**r, c***r and w**e will still be available through the pub, as always, and if you want to get hold of some special spirit or liquor, we can still help.
Huge thanks to everyone who has supported our little shop.
Big love from Phil, Alison and The Hop Team.
