We will be having a bit of a tasting day at the Staverton shop on Saturday, 23^rd July, starting at 12pm. Actually, it’s a little more than that in that it will also be celebrating the opening of Barnaby’s Brewhouse. Located over the hill at Hole Farm, next to our kitchen, it’s been in the offing for so long that we’ve decided to take the bull by the horns and force his hand. He’s opening and that’s that! Lagers are Barnaby’s speciality and he’ll have a barrel of his finest on tap. As well as the normal lager we all know, he’s also doing dark and red/amber versions. I’m no expert but they tasted pretty good to me.

We will also be doing a Chase Gin and Vodka tasting and having a BBQ in aid of local ‘Luck of Birth’ refugee charity for whom we have been raising money through our Labneh and Muhammara dips, soups and the sale of vegetables contributed by my father (at Yealmpton only). Let’s hope for good weather and a good time will be had by all. So put it in your diary and watch out on Facebook for more news.
