This week, The Pig is mostly… staying home and stocking up the at-home bar!
The Bath Ales’ Brewery Shop in Warmley is open as a collection point for orders made and payments taken over the phone every weekday between 1pm – 4.30pm. Meanwhile, the online shop offers a UK-wide doorstep delivery service. Fancy buying a pint to thank a key worker or local hero who has helped in these difficult times? Buy them a Bath Ales pint via the brewery’s Cheers to Heroes initiative: Visit Bath Ales’ online shop, add a ‘hero pint’ to your basket and draft a short message for your nominee; the brewery will then email the recipient a single-use voucher with details on how, and where, they can redeem their pint.
