February, a celebration of all things not January & the month of Indie Spirits birthday. 3 weeks till birthday tasting with Bruichladdich but for this week you can enjoy 13% off online & instore for our 13th birthday (not gift cards/tastings/events fyi) *assuming I’ve set the products up right.

Tomorrow.

So much new beer! New Deya, new Holy Goat, a pallet of new German beers too.

❤️

Plaque is in. Oh my, does our shop have a whole history that we have yet to tell you about.

OPEN! 3-6 today. New doorway, who dis? Come and look at the new plaque and our little bit of history.

It’s that Putty time of the year.

Due to some essential maintenance we will be closed tomorrow (Wednesday 28th January) until about 3 and will reopen hopefully 3-6.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Another excellent tasting at @indiespiritbath.bsky.social courtesy of the Ring O’ Bells in Bath. Featuring drams from Thompson Bros, Teaninich, @ardnamurchanwhisky.bsky.social Tomatin and Glenturret. Fantastic line up, and I’d highly recommend the @indiespiritbath.bsky.social bottling - exceptional!

The people of Minnesota for the Nobel peace prize.

I really like the new mayor of NYC.

2026 Business plan: Have both shops well stocked and well staffed for when “ it ” happens.

This is insane. Open at 10.30am tomorrow. We sell absinthe.

What even is this press conference. He would make more sense doing the chewbacca defence from south park.

2/3 of the way through Jan! And you thought it would never end. Anyway - New events! 3 tix left for this Fridays Burns tasting. We have an uber Islay on the schedule + a visit from @floatingrumshack.bsky.social himself soon with some stunning rums! shop.independentspiritofbath.co.uk/collections/...

In 13 years I’ve kicked 4 people out of the shop. Today was number 5, a regularly rude person over the last few months. I’m still waiting for the crippling review from the retail consultant and to see if the swear words used were accurate. Dog for attention.

FRIDAY!! Our first tasting of the year and it’s probably going to be one of the best of the year. We have a special guest, one of the best. 4 tickets left How else are you going to celebrate an early Burns night? shop.independentspiritofbath.co.uk/products/a-t...

What Europe could do is threaten to boycott the World Cup. It won't. But that might actually work. Trump wants his big show.

Lemmy died Dec 28th 2015. He was the anchor of humanity and the start of the fall of man and I will die on this hill.

More Scottish beers in today including the long awaited Rush beers. Technically a Canadian collab that one. Which is nice. Like the Canadians. Can’t remember who was messaging us about the Rush beers but they are here mystery internet person.

Vault city is in. Is that a cheeky double deep fried m*rs bar bar stout at the end I see?

Lord, have mercy on us…

Under the Treason Felony Act 1848, it is a crime punishable by life imprisonment to intimidate parliament or encourage any foreign power to invade the U.K. We should be applying this law to every traitor openly calling for the U.S to depose our democratically elected government.

Visit Bath let us take over the Instagram for the weekend. I’ve been told I can’t fill it with dog pics as it’s not booze related.

Back at it for 2026. Open at 10.30. Hope you all had a merry festive time. I know one dog who met Santa. Won’t shut up about it now.

Tonight’s Hogmanay will be mostly watching The Angels Share with a dram of @dornochdistillery.bsky.social mystery malt. Can’t tell you what one because you will get jealous. Highlight of our 13yrs is doing a screening of this with the director, Ken Loach. Never top that.

An absolute must for those who desire an understanding of ship camouflage and general navy fuckbaggery

As we hurtle to the end of this year & the inevitable heat death of the sun, just a little post to say we are open till 5pm today. Closed tomorrow. Back at it Friday for 2026 From Nathan & myself, cheers for the good times & we hope you have a dram to hand for the New Year. Doggos for attention

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Back at it! 10.30-6 today. Rugby on, Hogmanay coming up and hopefully a few more days off before you have to go back to work. We are here if you need your Bath Rugby Gin from Witchmark, a drop of beery iron brew or even a dram.

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Because I ate it for lunch.

Last 10 bottles mystery malt there. The ultimate Xmas surprise.

Just remembered a last min pressie you missed? There are less than 15 tickets left for our Burns tasting with The Jolly Toper (Jan23rd) and our Bruichladdich tasting for our birthday (Feb20th) shop.independentspiritofbath.co.uk/collections/...

Open at 9am. Close about 4, maybe 4.15 who knows. Coffee is on the cards. DONT PANIC!

Cooper is in his little post bath pyjamas to draw your attention to tomorrow being the last day for local delivery in Bath. He is cosy and wants you too to stay cosy. Get online, select local delivery if you are in Bath it won’t be Santa just a rather grumpy Irishman after 6pm with your pressies.

It’s in. It’s live. It’s *probably* going to get to you for Xmas… He said…

Busiest day of the year is about to begin.

Nog is back in. 30btls. Won’t be here on Xmas eve so you may want to click and collect if you want one.

That’s the egg nog out of stock… again…. Until tomorrow. 5 more cases and that’s probably the last delivery this year. You have been warned.

The American beer fairy has blessed us. Yes that is a hard iced tea and this years batch of celebration plus atomic torpedo in PINTS!!

This is it folks, in the endgame now. Last day for guaranteed shipping. You want a whistler honey (crunchie bar esque liqueur) Our single cask An egg nog from Evan Williams A vault city Swiss peaks 14% toblerone stout. I mean you order over the weekend you should get it before xmas but it’s risky

Single cask Octomore 12 YR Single Cask 2025 2nd Fill Rivesaltes 300btls, UK exclusive and we have some!! If you miss out however we have it on our Bruichladdich tasting in Feb.

First two tastings of 2026! We have The Jolly Toper; Mark Davidson himself hosting our January Burns event on the 23rd and the return of the wonderful Sarah from Bruichladdich on Feb 20th. Both events will be at the Ring O’Bells in Widcombe! shop.independentspiritofbath.co.uk/collections/...

We have assembled the finest drinks known to humanity and they are all on sampling today!! Come down and try the liquid Crunchie bar elixir that is whistler honey. We have the Planteray cut and dry coconut rum which tastes like dark chocolate bars. Whisky, gin and the best amaretto in the world!

Off to @flanobriens.bsky.social for a dram as the naughty man from @indiespiritbath.bsky.social has told me about Irish Honey which apparently tastes like Crunchie bars and honestly, why wouldn’t you. He also sold us EggNog. You’ll have to decide that one for yourself.

Right you lot. Need you to buy a couple of extra beers tomorrow because this weekend just got a lot more expensive. Hence the early close. FML 3rd car in 4 years.
