Non pasteurised beer has more flavour, and is more reliable than bottled beer. The bottling process is also expensive and fiddly, so many great beers never get bottled. Drinking draft beer is the way to taste what the brewer intended.

Hopscotch has imported 1L German made flip top beer bottles, these are sturdy and hold pressure well. We will help you maintain your bottle with replacement rubber washers if you need them.

This beer can last for three to four days in the fridge, for longer term storage, brewery bottled products are more suitable.

Bottle Beers:

Our selection of bottles is under construction, it will be comprehensive.

  • WeezleDog - Black Forest Gateau Milkshake Porter   5.8%

    A continuation of the already legendary "old school desserts" series, this one pours muddy brown and a bit creamy. At the moment it is still quite bitter and hoppy, under the hops you get some lactose, loads of cacao and a hint of cherries. Nice rich malt body helps to soften everything up and make it smooth. Probably a beer that needs some time to find itself.
