<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week see's the start of the construction of our new shop on site at the Otley Brewing Company.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're hoping to get it turned round quite quickly, so the general public will be able to come and purchase our great selection of ales as soon as possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We've just taken the delivery of all the rustic wood</span><br />

<b><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been almost a year (bar one day) since our last post. You may think that we've been ignoring you but on the contrary. We've been working our socks off to give you a better all round experience of Real Beer Box.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Premises...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have moved to a bigger unit, along with our parent company Otley Brewing, and we have plans to open our front of house shop in the next few weeks or so. We are still open as usual if you'd like to pop up, but the shop is not quite ready yet. Opening hours: 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More Products...</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have upped our range to include bottles from: </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Teme Valley</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stonehouse Brewery</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arbor Ales</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sam Brooks Brewery</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kernel Brewery</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to name but a few.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have also started stocking 5 litre mini kegs from Otley Brewing Company. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's that time of year again...</span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Christmas is just around the corner and we are in the process of putting together our Christmas gift box. These will be available to pre-order in the not so distant future, but the products and the dispatching of boxes will not be available until the 1st of December.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have any suggestions as to what bottle we should include feel free to let us know on Facebook (Real Beer Box) or follow us on Twitter (@RealBeerBox)</span><br />

The yeast works on any remaining sugar and the released gas acts as a preservative.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The following products have passed their "Best Before" dates, but still hold their condition very well making them the ideal buy at these discount prices. Treat Yourself... You know you want too.</span><br />

And this weeks featured products are Bag in Boxes from the Real Beer Box.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Sometimes a bottle of beer is just not enough, even a case of 12 bottles is not enough!</span></strong><br />
<br />
This is where Beer in a Box comes to the rescue. 10 litre (18 pints) and 20 litre (36pints) respectively. Real ale conditioned in the box as it is in the cask, sealed in a collapsible plastic bag inside the box ensuring no air comes into contact with the ale to spoil it. Shelf life is therefore a very respectable 4 to 6 weeks as long as you store the product in a cool place or even longer in a fridge.<br />
When you receive the box you need to allow it to settle for 24 hours before using to allow the natural yeasts to settle to the bottom. Then open the tap and enjoy!<br />
<ul><li>We currently stock 7 different ales from our own brewery (Otley Brewing Company) but we hope to be able to offer other brewers beers in the near future</li>
<li>Please allow 7–10 working days for delivery of these products as they are filled to order</li>

Although I know my way around a computer fairly well, the whole social networking scene is something I've never ventured into. So with that seed of doubt in my mind, I foolishly accepted the challenge and began researching the phenomenon of "blogging" and created our very own.<br />
<br />

It all looks easy enough, i.e. writing down what you think or do etc., but, although I've been around the Real Ale scene for around 8 years (yes, I'm still only a pup), I am no expert when it comes to discussing the complexities of the modern day Real Ale. With that in mind, it seems like the perfect oppurtunity for me to fine tune my pallet without the judgemental eye and tongue of my partner (she thinks I drink too much as it is!).<br />
<br />
I plan on keeping the reviews of the bottles pretty simple at first and focus on:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>The design of the bottle</li>
<li>The taste of the product</li>
<li>The aroma of the product</li>
<li>The overall impression.</li>
</ul>Hopefully this will give our customers a better understanding of what beers they are getting. But with over 200 Real Ales, Ciders and Perries in stock, getting through them all is going to take a while, and dare I say a few liver cells.<br />
<br />
Oh well, there's no time like the present, so the first three reviews should be ready for you all to read on Monday.<br />
<br />
Wish me luck, I feel as if I'm going to need it.Real Beer Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09108383197348353498noreply@blogger.com1
