We are pleased to announce that Salthouse Bottles is soon to open in Brockley (South East London), offering the best of British beers and ciders in bottle, can and via growler-fill, as well as a select range of wines.
We will be focused on providing a selected range of quality drinks and the best possible service to our customers.The store will stock over 100 bottled and canned beers and ciders, including permanently-available and rotating selections, new releases, limited edition brews and seasonal specials. There will be a growler-fill counter, where customers will be able to fill their branded swing-top bottles from an ever-changing selection of up to six draught beers and ciders.
Beer styles will range from everyday pales to challenging sours and celebration stouts.Ciders will be selected from the best of the UK’s longstanding and newest producers, always made from pure UK apple and pear juice –nothing from concentrate!
There will be a number of carefully chosen wines, including those that are natural and biodynamic. The selection available will rotate throughout the year and we hope to include some English sparkling wines.In the fridges and on the shelves will also be all-natural soft drinks, gift cards and branded goods.Customers will have the opportunity to order mixed cases of bottles; for themselves or as gift boxes. The store plans to cater for party orders, helping to select products and to then deliver to the customer (minimum spend and/or postage will apply).
