Harbour Brewing Co has launched its own web shop, meaning drinkers can now buy beer direct from the brewer for the first time.

Managing director, Eddie Lofthouse, said: “The launch of our web shop represents an important step in the evolution of the brewery.

“While we are proud to be stocked in a variety of supermarkets, bars, and leading restaurants across the country, it’s wonderful to make our full range available to anyone who wants it.”

Alongside the brewery’s nine core products, an evolving selection of special edition and limited run beers, known as the Explore range, are also available to buy online. These currently include a peach, apricot and ginger Berliner weisse, a rhubarb and pink peppercorn Berliner weisse, and a chocolate kolsch.

Harbour has also released aline of merchandise for the first time. Trucker caps, t-shirts, hoodies, and shirts are available to buy online now.

“I’d highly recommend keeping an eye on our web shop in the coming months,” added Eddie. “We are in the final stages of building a new R&D facility, where we plan to experiment with unique flavours, botanicals and brewing techniques to really push the boundaries of beer. Occasionally these brews will be released online, and we expect they’ll sell quickly.”

More details on the R&D facility and new line of beers, known as Hinterland, will be announced shortly.
