Please note that public holidays in your destination country will affect your shipping times.

To ensure your order reaches you in the best possible shape, your order may be split across 2 or more boxes if it contains a variety of different sized items.

We use 100% recyclable and biodegradable packaging materials to limit damages in transit. We use plant based void filling pellets & Hexcel wrap to protect your order.

The hexcel wrap and cardboard boxes can be recycled through household and retail paper bins in the UK.

The plant based void filling pellets are recommended to be recycled through composting, either at home or council waste, where it is recycled into food grade fertiliser for farming or into electricity at an anaerobic digestion plant to power homes and local communities.

Our delivery boxes are ergonomically designed to fit a wide range of containers. We use the following boxes:

24 x 440ml Can Box
12 x 440ml Can Box

Packaging and Storage

Brown and Green glass are favoured for their ability to inhibit or reduce skunking of hops in beer that were added (and boiled) during the brew day. We use both, brown and clear glass bottles. Clear glass allows the beautiful visual characteristics of our stouts and fruited beers (or any other beers also made with little to no chance of skunking by way of little to no hops used during the brew day) to shine.

We don’t think clear glass will influence this beer’s potential to age gracefully, but good ageing practices should be routine for best experiences: Age bottles in a steady low temperature environment, away from strong odours, mould, sources of heat and light.

Although some of our beers will develop new characteristics over time, the connoisseur will recognise ageing as a process as more of slow flavour change (some fresh characteristics may mellow or fall away entirely in order for additional complexities or subtleties to reveal themselves).
