1 x Buxton Brewery x Arizona Wilderness – Deep Rainbow Valley Brett Edition 2015
Soured saison infused with orange juice, wild foraged gorse flowers and amarillo hops. Bottled, corked and caged by hand with Brettanomyces yeast in June 2015. A collaboration with Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. Bottle 1041 of 3700
1 x The Veil – Sleeping Forever 2017 vintage
Imperial Stout aged in Danish cherry wine barrels for 14 months. An aroma of heavy bourbon, oak and chocolate. An initial flavour of bourbon gives way to a rich dark chocolate and toasted marshmallow. Thick and luxurious leaving a bit of sticky sweetness on the rim of the glass. A complex experience without gimmicks.
1 x Brasserie Trois Dames – Sauvageonne Dark Lambic 2017
Lambic inspired ale. 3 year old blend of sour ale. Solar ageing in Cabernet Sauvignon wine barrels. Full of wild yeast and Brettanomyces. Released in 2015.
1 x Fuller’s Bottle Conditioned Vintage Ale, 2013
At the time of its release, head brewer John Keeling said – “The early tasting notes for this rich brew are already revealing another genuinely tantalising vintage beer. As a truly distinguished bottle-conditioned ale, each vintage improves in the bottle with time. Bottle conditioning means that a little yeast is left in the bottle, which will mature slowly over the years like a fine wine or whisky – well beyond the ‘best before’ date that we are obliged to state. We think it should read ‘best after’. I suggest buying a few and trying one now, trying one in five years and trying one in 10 years, to see how the flavours have developed and matured.”
1 x Birra Del Borgo L’Equilibrista Grape Ale vintage 2012
Description via google translate: A young Chianti seduces a Duchess with her strength, she charms him with elegance and together they then go to get married, with a kit of 50% wine must and 50% beer must in a unique ferment, creating an unforgettable alchemy . The union continues in the bottle with the addition of the liqueur de tirage which makes them sparkling. They dwell in the bottle together with their small yeasts, which will give fragrance to their wedding. They age together and then the brewer magician gives them new life with the magical ritual of disgorging, adding the potion, the liqueur d’expedition, as per an ancient recipe handed down from generation to generation.
A selection of vintage IMBC tees
10 x A free drink (£5 bar tabs given as app credit)
A single can of Stella
Winners drawn at random in the first week of January.
I hope I win that single can of Stella! But It could be you!

A three day weekend, just as god intended – marking the final hurrah of summer (which is a good thing, or a bad thing, depending on your views on the wearing of Big Coats). We’ve got an American Showcase on to celebrate, but we’re also extending our opening hours too.
Our opening hours this week (commencing 23rd August, to use management speak – which I know you hate) are:
Monday 23 August: 4pm – late
Tuesday 24 August: 4pm – late
Wednesday 25 August: 4pm – late
Thursday 26 August: 4pm – late
Friday 27 August: 4pm – late
Saturday 28th August: 2pm – late

…and then back to 4pm-late on weekdays, 2pm-late weekend.
– How we’re working after July 19th
With the constant alterations to legislation over the past 18 months, one of the most difficult things about that tinkering for bars and restaurants has been the different levels everyone visiting have been on: from those who are super vigilant, through to those who can’t wait to throw off the shackles. Though we’ve been re-open for a while now, even in the last week we’ve had visitors coming to us for their first night out in the best part of a year. Those people who’ve waited cautiously for a first proper pint will have been sharing a bar with others who have been fully enjoying their freedoms since the moment our doors re-opened earlier in the year, and everything in between. Our job now is to ensure that all of those groups are able to have a good time with us, and that they’re able to do so in a way that feels safe and appropriate.
No matter what your headspace is about everything that is going on when you visit us, we want you to be able to socialise in a way that acknowledges the liberties we’ve now been afforded, while protecting our staff, our customers, and our community.
What that means for you is that:
- Our staff will continue to wear face masks at all time while on shift, and we’ll be keeping our protective screens up at the bar
- We will continue to have a limit on our indoor seating capacity, so as to avoid overcrowding
- For the time being, we’ll be keeping our screen dividers up between seats
- We’ll be ensuring our venues are as well ventilated as each space allows
- Our levels of sanitisation and hygiene will remain the same, with tables cleaned between customers and each site cleaned in full each day
- Our app will still be the main way in which drinks are ordered – both to avoid congestion at the bar, and for an overall better customer experience.
- We ask that customers give one another space in all situations, and continue to wash your hands thoroughly
- We encourage customers to wear face masks while moving around our venues.
As always, we’ll be reviewing our policies over the coming weeks, and fine tuning them to fit the wants and needs of everyone involved. If you have any questions, comments, or issues, you can get in touch on matthew@commonandco.co.uk
