I was a bit disappointed with my
first visit to Bromsgrove’s newest high street independent off-licence; or so
it seemed at the time of my visit. There were racks rather than stacks which
made a pleasant change for an off-licence, but it was more of a showcase than a
shopping experience. While the displays looked very nice; there was very little
in the way of choice with only one whole bay dedicated to the good stuff. Just
opposite, there was a huge range of bottled cider of both fruit and concentrate
varieties; and beyond that was a section of glassware and upmarket children’s
drinks. The front of the shop was dedicated to displaying unusual spirits in attractive
bottles. The shop’s manager was quite pleasant to chat to but she did leave the
front for an alarming amount of time; time enough for anyone to make a quick
getaway. I’m also under the impression that she’s a franchisee of an
off-licence chain. I wish them well but I do hope that they get some beers in
from further afield.
