F A N S !
Well here we are, Clapton Craft has officially turned seven! It's been an absolute whirlwind to say the least, especially over the last few days, weeks, months or however time passes now. We're incredibly grateful for your support, and a huge thanks to everyone who's joined us on our journey. Unfortunately, we can't get together with all you wonderful people, but we do have quite the week of celebrations lined up. To mark the occasion we've teamed up with seven of our favourite breweries for a takeover at each of our locations, while there's arguably the biggest drop ever from some of the UK's finest in DEYA, Verdant and Vibrant Forest. To give a little back we're also offering 7% off ALL beers on the webshop, including freshies from Cloudwater, Left Handed Giant, and Siren. Now without further ado...

That's right we've enlisted our nearest and dearest to head up our Growlers, and takeaway pints (looking at you Finsbury Park, Wood Street & Balham). Not only are there x2 loyalty points on refills, but we also have giveaways, competitions and more. In Finsbury Park, Balham and Forest Hill there's the chance of winning mega brewery care packs with merchandise and free beer, and over in Kentish Town you can meet the BBNo team. Basically, be sure to ask in store what's going on at your local, and of course, check out what's pouring over the weekend below!

During Lockdown #1, we were forced to go 100% online, proving to be quite the shift in gear, sometimes packing over two hundred orders a day, enlisting friends and family to drive, walk and cycle those parcels of boozy joy safely to your doors. We've been lucky enough to re-open the shops fully since, though we've never looked back online (despite the incessant paper cuts) - we've debuted an entirely new website, subscriptions, masses of wine, and super mixed cases. And, with celebrations elsewhere, we thought it was only right to dish out some juicy joy through the magic of the internet. To cash in, just enter code 'BIRTHDAYBEERS' at checkout to nab yourselves 7% off all beers online until the end of the weekend. We thoroughly recommend taking a peek, with all the usual greats, and some rather exclusive brews on offer!

We didn't really need too much convincing about what celebratory beers to grab for this week, and DEYA are pretty much the first name on the hype team sheet anyway, so it's just the eight(!) crackers from the crocs. Today Is Better Than Yesterday delivers the tropical drinkability, while returning favourites Into The Haze and Senescene bring the soft, fluffy NZ-hopped fun. Elsewhere, Something Good 13 might just be the apex of the series, with mysterious experimental hops delivering mega fruity flavour. Bright, clean and lush IPA Illusion also debuts alongside the berry-filled single hopped Mosaic IPA Tengo, both bringing sheer suppability to the max. Finally, DIPA Scene Scene arrives as a doubled-up version of chewy Southern Hemisphere heavy hitter, Senescence with absolute favourite Saturated In Mosaic rounding things off perfectly with bubblegum and blueberry hop goodness. For once, we might have enough to last the weekend, though knowing you lot, it's never sure fire bet!

Across seven years, there's few breweries we've found to be more underrated than New Forest dons Vibrant Forest. As such we're delighted to have a re-up on one of the UK's finest Pales about in Pupa, plus the long-awaited return of the fruity and floral favourite Metamorph. For those that are after something leaning a little more to the West Coast Altitudes offers up deep pine, grapefruit and a biting bitterness, while Out of Exile is a bit of an exclusive for us. An extremely limited run of this coconut, citrusy-Sabro catch has entered the world to celebrate their taproom's reopening, so we'd thoroughly recommend joining the pina-colada party ASAP.
With a hazy, boozy-blow out planned we just couldn't omit some Cornish classics from Verdant. Up first, Solid State, a creamy, massively tropical, and punchy collaboration IPA with the finest hop purveyors around, Yakima Chief. Continuing the theme Horizon Balance is an oat-free, super pale IPA with a feathery body and a crisp finish. Here, Simcoe and Loral hops lead the way with pineapple and orange dominating, finished off with a touch of earthy Chinook for grapefruity, resinous complexity. Lastly, Enjoy The Uncertainty revels in hoppy chaos, with Nelson Sauvin dishing out succulent white grape character, backed up by the bright tangerine of Loral and a healthy berry backbone of dank Mosaic. It bears repeating just how fortunate we are to have brews of this calibre flying in on a regular basis, so enjoy them while they last!
