Well, it’s been a very short and extremely exciting 2014 for BeerHeadZ and to welcome in 2015 we are officially launching our ‘HeadZ You Win!’ discount scheme. How does it work? You simply come into the pub wearing the BeerHeadZ logo; T-shirt, cap, badge, etc, and you automatically get a 10p discount on your pint every time you visit the bar. We win, you win. SimpleZ! Remember, we already serve in oversize, lined glasses so with HeadZ You Win! you can enjoy even better value for your money. We currently have T-Shirts (£13) and badges (£1) available, with polo shirts, caps, beanies and hoodies becoming available in the next couple of weeks. So gear up, look good, spread the BeerHeadZ word and get your beer cheaper at the same time. It’s been a very enjoyable and intense first few weeks …

BeerHeadZ are very happy to announce that we have acquired backing and funding to open another three or four BeerHeadZ during the course of 2015. It is both satisfying and extremely exciting that someone has seen the potential of BeerHeadZ and come forward with the foresight and support to help make it happen. We will initially be looking to set up in other East Midland towns or cities and will also be having a tentative look towards the London area. BeerHeadZ is coming. Let us know any potential venues… it could be a town near you!

Rare Scottish brews coming to BeerHeadZ!

You lucky BeerHeadZ! In our quest to bring you new, exciting and rare beers, we have managed to secure a number of casks from usually keg or bottle-only breweries. First up, we have from 2014 Glasgow start-ups Drygate – Devil Rex 4.2%, so rare, we can’t find any tasting notes for it, even on the Drygate website! Come and decide for yourself. This is currently in the cellar, quietly making itself ready for you. Coming next week, we have Top Out, located in Loanhead, Midlothian, which started brewing in 2013. The Cone IPA is a generous 6.8%. Not only did we find tasting notes for this beer, we found a video for it too! Finally, also arriving next week, we have, from Leith, Pilot – Mochaccino Stout at a mere 5.5% and described on Ratebeer as “Glossy & silky with depth …

Well we did it, by the skin of our teeth! The swinging pub sign went up with just 20 minutes to go and we opened the doors bang on time to our first customers – Andrew and Linda Birkhead along with JD the dog. The first beer pulled was BlackEdge Hop at 3.8%. The Birkheads were closely followed by several more customers and by 6.30 we had a bustling pub atmosphere. A very promising start! We are still a little rough around the edges – the toilets need decorating and some panelling on the walls needed, but these will be done as soon as possible. The main thing is that the beer is good! Last night was started firing with all eight pumps, but this will drop to four when normality has resumed. Your regular BeerHeadZ behind the bar will …

It’s been a valiant effort – thanks to all that helped. We are still not quite ready, but made the decision earlier today that we would be able to open on time. Therefore, we are delighted to announce that BeerHeadZ will be opening its doors for our first customers at 6pm tomorrow, 23rd October. We must stress that we are still a bit rough around the edges, still bits to do, and very much a ‘work in progress’. But we can assure you that all the beers have been tested personally and we can report they are all in excellent condition! We will start off for the Festival weekend with eight beers on the pumps, but that will drop to four whan normality is resumed. We also have a selection of real ciders and bottled beers: Boon Oude Geuze 7.0% …
