Decanter

A new shop specialising in beer, cider wines and spirits has opened on the High Street of Bromsgrove. Decanter Spirit opened in late September and stocks a range of bottled ales from local breweries such as Sadler’s, Teme Valley, Shakespeare and North Cotswold. The beer range is quite small, and not much is being done to market the shop other than a Facebook page. Being an independent business, you would think that they would have a website up and running so that people can view their stock list or product range; but there’s no such item currently available. The owner doesn’t seem to have any business sense and doesn’t greet customers as they enter the shop, so they may not be running for long. There’s a large selection of bottled ciders as well as specialised spirits such as rhubarb-flavoured vodka, a large variety of fruit-flavoured gin alongside whiskies, brandies and glassware. Decanter Spirit can be found opposite Loretta’s Bakehouse and next to the British Heart Foundation charity shop. I wish them well but they need to expand on their offering and perhaps offer evening party nights to tempt me back.
