I AM, AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN...
Yes! It's back and we'll be hosting another Traitors finale watch party at TBP. Dale's digging out his Claudia wig, Lisa's getting ready to banish and Scott, Jack & Meg are hoping not to be murdered.
Who's taking the prize? Traitor? Faithful?
From 8pm, Fri 30//10//26
OOH! WAS IST DAS???
In our search for even more beautiful drinks to tickle your taste buds, let us introduce Mühlen Kölsch! A crisp, malty bad boy, kölsch from Cologne... and it's on our taps NOW!
Get it while you can... we don't see this available very often.

I'm giving an "introduction to cider blending" interactive talk later, so I'm rewatching and rereading a load of stuff on different approaches to blending, and it's so obvious whether the speaker is more traditional or more modern/craft. But there's always a passion.
BAM! POW! KA-BOOM!!!!
It's Holy Goat Brewing's 6th birthday & we're lucky enough to be 1 of 19 places serving up their amazing new releases, including two super rare bottle-only drops!!!

🇺🇸 HELL YEAH! 🇺🇸
Whilst most might not consider the US as a cider-producing country, they'd be wrong... & we've got our mitts on some lovely examples of truly artisanal drinks being produced state-side.
Come and join us in TBP for this @chesterciderclub.bsky.social US special from 7pm Weds 14th.
8 BIG OLD YEARS!!!!!
Huge thanks to each and every team member past & present. To everyone who bought a drink, chatted with us, and shared a drink with us. To those that attended a beer & cider tasting or those that came to one of our many events.
To Chester's indie business folk that have been a constant inspiration & an invaluable shoulder to cry on. To the cider & funk clubbers who've explored new tastes with us.
To the poor buggers that listened to Dale (repeatedly) drone on about beer & cider duty...
...and most of all, to YOU reading this now. You are part of our story and we really wouldn't be here without you. ❤️
8 BIG OLD YEARS!!!!!
Huge thanks to each and every team member past & present. To everyone who bought a drink, chatted with us, and shared a drink with us. To those that attended a beer & cider tasting or those that came to one of our many events.
To the brewers & cider makers that create the amazing products we sell. To everyone who's deemed us worthy of an award. To the people who chose us for their own private parties & celebrations. To the DJs who made us dance and the comedians that made us laugh.
BOOM! Not only have we done beer stuff, we've also been out here visiting some amazing cideries (sagardotegia in basque)
The lovely folk Lizeaga Sagardotegia gave us an amazing tour, followed by some banging food paired with cider.
Ah! The other day we were lucky enough to get a tour of Basqueland Brewing with the lovely Tim. Huge thanks for looking after us and showing us the amazing brewery & taproom.
Then we shifted on to Basqueland Izakaia (their bar in the heart of San Seb) for some great food washed down with even more great beer.
...and no need to feel like you guys missed out, because their beers will be with us at TBP very very soon!!!! 🍻 Topa!
Sorry folks... we'll be opening a little later than usual this week (& next Monday) as we'll be jetting off to Bilbao & San Sebastian for a bit of a beer & sidra adventure.
Lisa'll be working on her escanciado (cider-throwing) technique, whilst I'll probably just be eating my own body weight in pintxos.
Ciao! See you soon...
Oh it's started! Celebrity Traitors is GO and we'll be following the chinanigans over the next few weeks.
We'll obviously be doing a finale watch party so get ready on 19th Nov!

OOH LA LA!!!! Weds night for @chesterciderclub.bsky.social we have specialist cider importer Cider Mugs coming over for a guided tasting of delicious FRENCH CIDER 🍏🇫🇷
Join us from from 7pm where you can taste these beauties. Everyone welcome.
Google reviews once again giving us a giggle... thanks Colin.
Obviously, a black lager, an amazing Warpigs pale ale, a Deya smoked s'mores imperial stout, a Tiramisu sour from the legendary Swedish brewery Elm Eleven or six amazing real ciders were just too 'standard' for him. 😂 Poor Colin.
Great session @thatbeerplace.co.uk in #Chester y'day. No fewer than 7(!) ciders & perries on offer. Tried them all, in thirds. Ranged from 'very drinkable' to 'bloody gorgeous'. Personal fave was the @rosscider.bsky.social s.v. Major (on the left in the pic), v. dry w. superb depth of flavour.
This afternoon..... Upstairs in @thatbeerplace.co.uk air conditioned room!
It's time for this year's TBP Summer Party!!
🪩🍻☀️⛱️
Join us from 3pm and then stay on for England's World Cup Quarter Final against Norway!
WHO'D HAVE THUNK IT?!?!
England are through to the quarters and up next is Norway. Well to entice you out we have the TBP Summer Party from 3pm which will run through until kickoff... and we'll be staying open until the final whistle... and don't worry, we are invisible to races riff raff.
SORRY KIER!
Despite Capt. Charisma's last minute change to the licencing rules, we won't be staying open to show Mexico knock England out because Dale very much needs his beauty sleep 💤💤💤
IT'S THE ROUND OF 32!!!
Can England put in a performance that doesn't feel like taking half a bottle of Night Nurse? Find out tonight from 5pm as they take on DR Congo!!!!
SUNDAY FUNDAY!
Vinyl Messi & Vinyl Blêr will be in the shop with the Wheel of Four Tunes for their end of month OLD'S KOOL slot.
And...
We'll be back pouring beer & cider in Grosvenor Park for the 2nd day of the @storyhouselive.bsky.social Street Food Festival!!
After a day sweating in Grosvenor Park for Storyhouse Street Food Festival and avoiding the race crowd, we'll be showing the final group match for England on Saturday night.
Why sit in a sweaty, overcrowded pub drinking macro lager watching the match?
We're back again, showing the second of England's second group game against Ghana.
