The DB Tap & Bottle

Greetings Loyal Shoppers & Tappers- You may be aware of some talk of rising energy costs being bandied around in the news lately. Sadly, The DB Bottle Shop is not immune to these rises and so it is with a smidge of sadness that as of this Saturday (probably), we shall be folding The DB Shop, back into The DB Tap, hence this post.

The brief DB Tap Instagram account will cease to be, so if you’re not already following @thedbbottleshop, please amend this forthwith.

Keep an eye out, as we have lots of exciting events happening over the course of the next few months down here at The Drawing Board Tap & Bottle (DBTB) – Leamington’s smallest Craft Beer Shop & Bar.

Watch this space.

If you weren’t aware of any movement then you’ll be blissful in your ignorance.

TINY REBEL 10th Birthday

As you may already know, or have guessed, our pals at Tiny Rebel are 10!

A big milestone like this deserves a big celebration, so they’ve created their best ever birthday beers in a special 10th Birthday Box to celebrate.

Naturally we’re getting involved at both The Tap, The Shop & The Pub.
As always there will be plenty of merch & chances to win goody bags.

Triple Tropica – 10%. Our OG, Clwb, but triple the recipe, triple the flavour. Not to be missed.

Imperial Bourbon Pecan Pie Pastry Stout – 9%. Indulge, yes please! Rich maple bourbon pecan pie wrapped in a pastry stout.

Vic Secret On Galaxy DIPA – 7.2%. Two of our favourite hops for a bright tropical double IPA full of burnt orange and peach.

Hazy White – 4.4%. American IPA and Belgian Wit married for a fruity, spicy mix. A light bready maltiness and a dry refreshing finish.

Cold Fermented IPA – 4.5%. This beers is fermented at a much lower than normal temperature, giving better mouthfeel, a fuller body and rounded bold flavours.

Wood Aged Belgian Birthday Cake – 11%. It’s our birthday so this was a must. Strong notes of vanilla, oak and chocolate. The only thing missing, the candle.

Cask Conditioned Citra Milkshake IPA – 4.2%. We love cask here at Tiny Rebel HQ. This beer is as close to a cask beer as possible from a can, smooth and silky.

Mixed Berry Double Froozie Sour – 7%. Our latest passion, Froozie Sours. Full of blackcurrant for a  tart jamminess.

Carrot, Apple & Mandarin Sour – 5.8%. Carrot, but not as you know it. Alongside fruit, a perfect balance of sweet and sour.

White Chocolate & Caramac Pale Ale – 7%. Caramac is back and we’ve rediscovered our love. We’ve blended it with white chocolate to create a velvety smooth and rich pale ale.

DB Dollars

BUY DB DOLLARS

We, at The Drawing Board offer our own take on spectacular gift vouchers with the magical DB Dollars*. These fantastic pieces of premium, shiny card are available in three (yes three) denominations. £5, £10 & £20 – It’s only mildly confusing as they are called dollars but actually are £. That aside you can use them at The Drawing Board pub in Leamington Spa like they are made of real money, you know for food and drink and that.

They work as ideal Birthday presents, Christmas presents or just plain old ‘presents’ presents (even new ones, maybe) They might even be used as gestures of support for small independent pubs that are mildly concerned about the current state of affairs.

You can buy them HERE, over the telephone, in person or through a window and we will either give them to you or post them to you as they are physical collectible things.

(*may not be magical, fantastic, collectible or spectacular)

Buy Beers & Stuff Online

Hello. We are now delivering beer and other bits locally from The DB Bottle Shop. You can use this handy link

www.thedrawingboard.shop

and as long as you spend £20 or over we’ll bother to get out of bed and bring it to you. It’s new & online and I made it so if its broken, don’t cry about it, just email me instead. hello@thedrawingboard.pub

We will deliver in a relatively timely fashion and leave it on your doorstep. We will be social distancing so don’t ask us to put it away for you.

As time passes we’ll upload more stuff you can buy but its all slightly dependent on how much stock we can afford/get hold of and how much I fall back in love with this Playstation. Swings and roundabouts.
