In the shadow of the former St Helens Rugby league stadium of Knowsley Road and nestling next to a curry house is a veritable trove of beers, including some kegged beer ready to be freshly bottled and taken away for the evening, courtesy of the George Wright Brewing Company. For this month’s beer bottle blog we also discuss the wares and wherewith alls of the Beer Emporium on Cambridge Road. As with the previous (and indeed future) bottle shops under discussion, this one has a superb selection and some unique stock – ranging from some US craft beers like flying dog and anchor across to Brewers and Union UG in Germany alongside the more recognisable German Helles, Pilsners, Weisses and Dunkels. There is also a reasonable selection of Belgian ales, again, across a few different styles. The selection of British craft beers and real ales is stunning, with Williams Brothers, Tempest, Wilson Potter, Arbor, Thornbridge, Wild Beer Co, Ilkley, Saltaire, Durham, Rocky Head and Siren Craft all making an appearance amongst others. Such a selection is actually crammed into a deceptively small space, but it is still easy to lose quite a significant chunk of time poring over where to go next with your purchases. The staff at George Wright’s Emporium are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and easy going; the price structure is also very reasonable, with some very pleasant surprises on limited edition prices! So on with the bottle round up...
Hope you enjoyed the read this month guys, see you again soon; there’ll be another bottle shop and bottle review coming for October, so keep your eyes peeled!
