We made a vow sometime ago not to blog until the Website was up and running, Little did we know at that time it would be Christmas time. The website is looking nice we think? www.rugbytap.co.uk . The draught element still needs some work before we can courier bright beer next day, nationwide. We will keep the beers available instore to take-home updated. Click and collect is up and running, 'reserve and collect' i.e for those that prefer to pay in-store will follow shortly. It has been noted that a scrolling banner on a touch screen device is not good and any other feedback would be greatly appreciated.
In the last four weeks we have sold over 2,000 bottles of locally brewed (within 30 miles of us)
Ales and in the last two weeks have sold 20 Firkins of Craft Ale, All local except a few sneaky ones from Oakham Ales. A big thank you to all our customers, it's been a cracking solid 5 month start. Thanks.
All are welcome for Christmas Eve shopping we are open 10-6 for Eclectic Wines, Speciality Spirits and over 150 different bottled beers (plus gift cards and gift receipts available). We are however due to higher than hoped for demand pretty well out of draught Ale (plenty of still Cider though(tried Mulling it?)). those of you that had the foresight to pre-order don't fret all is well, you know who you are ! For those of you that didn't, our apologies, We did stress, when asked, that after only 5 months trading under our belts we would do our best to manage stock versus sales of this Artisan product that undertakes it's final fermentation in our chiller (or temperature controlled environment, as we have taken to calling it lately). Alas much like a weary soul wending there way home via the Butchers shop in the vain hope of there being a Turkey left on Christmas Eve!
We are now taking orders for New Years Eve, contact us now.
Seasons Greetings
