NEW ARRIVALS ON BRISTOL’S RE-EMERGING HOSPITALITY SCENE

Bristol Beer Box ofers a selection of locally-brewed beer

TAKE-HOME TAPROOM

Bristol Beer Box –a new beer delivery business –is championing Bristol's vibrant craft beer scene. When its founder, Isabel, moved to Bristol she was thrilled to discover the number of craft breweries in the city and the high standards of quality and creativity that they all maintain. The only problem was that there was nowhere that you could buy beer from all of the breweries. Her new venture seeks to change that.

Bristol Beer Box offers a selection of locally-brewed beer, bringing the variety of the taproom home to you. There is a choice of the pale box, which features a selection of light beers, lagers and ales ranging from pale to amber, and the mixed box that includes 2-3 stouts and porters.

Try a box for yourself, send one as a gift to the beer-lover in your life, or sign up for a subscription to enjoy the convenience of a new selection arriving at your door every month. Use offer code HELLOBRISTOL for 10% off your first box.

FINEST COFFEE AROUND

Dareshack is a creative studio fuelled by speciality coffee and food. Like many others, Dareshack had to adapt. When it was just about to start implementing its concept combining hospitality and live entertainment, the pandemic hit. Nevertheless, it has worked tirelessly to launch part of the hospitality arm that is now becoming a go-to place for speciality coffee and treats.

All sweets are made in-house, including its popular artisan doughnuts. Its exclusive coffee blend 'Triple Dare' has been developed with Triple Co. and is served alongside rotating single-origin guest coffees. The exquisite interior is also complemented by pieces from local artists.

You can't miss Dareshack on Wine Street as you will surely be caught by their tasty window display!
