Tryanuary & Opening hours for 2015!

One year down - our first year (well celebrated back in November!) and it's been a good one!

Thanks to everyone who lives local to the shop and regularly pops in to buy beer and cider, AND to all those visitors from further afield. We tried some new hours over December and have decided to keep the extended hours going due to their popularity. Soooo our new opening hours as of 2015 are...dada:

Mon - closed
Tuesday 11-5pm
Wednesday 11-5pm
Thursday 11-5pm
Friday 10-6pm
Saturday 10-6pm
Sunday 11-4pm



January for us is going to be a month of trying new beers, beer styles and breweries and we'll be sharing all those as we go along. Influenced by the great idea started over at www.tryanuary.co.uk.

"Join the #tryanuary movement!

Make it your mission to seek out new INDEPENDENT breweries, beers, bars and bottle shops, and share your discoveries with people throughout January. It's that simple."

Whether it's that classic you've been meaning to try ‪#‎Fantome‬, or a Californian brewpub IPA @moylansbrewery that you'd love to travel to one day. Or try a new beer style like @buxtonbrewery Berliner Weisse or @omnipollo saison or @runawaybrewery smoked porter, or an Australian pale @stoneandwood. Whether you want to try an old classic from ‪#‎Samsmiths‬ India ale or ‪#‎Dungarvan‬ Irish stout.

January is the month to try! @tryanuary ‪#‎Tryanuary‬

New brews in this week - more to come but a taster for now.



Stone & Wood - "We established Stone & Wood Brewing Company in Byron Bay in 2008 after many years of working in the beer business. Our dream was to quit ‘working for the man’, shed the corporate garbage and get back to basics.

As the original brewers of Byron Bay we built our brewery here at the eastern tip of Australia, in a part of the world where people enjoy having a beer when relaxing after catching a wave, catching a band at the pub or just catching up with friends. It’s that sort of place."

Fri 5th Sept: The 100 Best Breweries Bookazine authors Chris Hall & Craig Heap host an IPA evening (beer & cheese sampling)

£15, 7-9pm, Electric Candlelight Cafe

"IPA is a style that epitomises the flavour and artistry of great craft beer. Despite its popularity, IPA is still a widely misunderstood style, and it couldn't be more different now to the pale ales first exported to India over two hundred years ago.

Chris Hall and Craig Heap, co-authors of 365 Best Beers in The World and 100 Best Breweries in The World, will guide you through IPA's murky origins to its perhaps equally murky present incarnations. Along the way, you will taste your way through IPA's history as an exported pale ale, a vehicle for revolution, and a platform for creativity and showmanship.

To help soak up all that history, hops and high alcohol beer, Chris and Craig will also match each IPA to a delicious cheese from a local deli. Book your ticket now for a drinking session through history."

Meet the Brewer: Northern Monk Brew Co Sat 25th Jan

We're really pleased to announce that our first event as Hop Hideout and our first event in 2014, the crew at Northern Monk Brew Co have kindly said yes to hosting a Meet the Brewer night with us. 

The last 12 months have been a perfect storm for this small newly formed Bradford brewery. Developing from home-brewing routes, commercially brewing in June 2013 and launching at the ace Sparrow bier cafe in July to a host of applause from peers.  

Our Meet the Brewer will be hosted at Electric Candlelight Cafe (next door to Hop Hideout) 7-9pm (doors 6.30pm) on Saturday 25th Jan. 

NMBCo brewers will be hosting, taking you through a selection of beers in the session and sharing their story. 


I think we may head to The Broadfield after!


Here's a little taster from NMBCo:

"Progressive, bold, British Craft Beer. From the North, with Love."

We take our influences and ingredients from the best of the World of Beer and brew it in Gods own country. The history, heritage and tradition of a quintessentially British drink, the progressive approach to technique, ingredients and dispense of brewers in the US and the commitment to excellence demonstrated by monastic brewers for thousands of years. 

STRANNIK 

"In a word, superb.
Strannik is a big satisfying Imperial Stout.
It pours as black as pitch with a cappuccino head and its smell is cocoa powder, coffee grounds and sour damsons.
The finish is long and dry, sticky and bitter and very more-ish.
Two beers in and Northern Monk are looking frighteningly good." 

CAMRGB 

"Beer of the Week
Strannik Imperial Stout
So new that few of the drinkers at Leeds International Beer Festival will ever have come across it before, Northern Monk is typical of a crop of confident emergent brewers who have dispensed with the need to produce a standard bitter or a session ale, and have dived straight in at the mad, bad and dangerous end of the market.
Black as death, strong as wine, rich as treacle, Strannik is their take on an Imperial Stout, a style made famous by Empress Catherine the Great of Russia.

At 9% ABV, fiercely strong Strannik is characteristic of the style, now revived by many brewers, notably Masham’s Black Sheep, whose hard-to-find Imperial Russian is one of the best examples out there.
Strannik makes all the right moves – the initial sweetness of treacle giving way to the bitterness of coffee, dark chocolate, woodsmoke, and a long, throat-soothing beautiful aftertaste. Fabulous."

Yorkshire Evening Post 

NEW WORLD IPA 

"And what a way to announce yourself.
A big, juicy, delicious IPA wrapped in an excellent label."
