Ake & Humphris Wine & Beer, Harrogate

Hey Craft Beer Fans, we've got some treats for you this week!
After a long hiatus from our shop we have the return of @verdantbrew & @wylam_brewery and boy are there some treats. 3 epic collabs with @lefthandedgiantbrewing @deyabrewery & @otherhalfnyc including some pretty hefty DIPA's, it's looking to be a very hoppy weekend.

Who said France could have all the fun? Burgundian charm at a fraction of the price with these belters from Kovacs Nimrod Winery. A mini Mont-rocher in the form of Battonage and an elegant Pinot to give Chambolle a run for its money.
Not convinced? Grab yourself some tickets to our wine fair on Saturday the 18th and see what we've got to shout about this Summer - 🎟️http://www.akeandhumphris.co.uk/Ev ents__c-p-0-0-6.aspx

It’s a miracle - just in time for Easter! The Prince of Wales roadworks have all gone and Otley Road now clear!

Wow! White Rioja to rock your Easter weekend. Delicious, thanks Des!

Who needs a golden ticket when you have a Golden Whale? The latest and much anticipated @northernmonk @jamesbutlertattoos Colman with @glasshousebeerco and @boxcarbrwco. Fresh out of the brewery and on our shelves today, Golden Whale DDH IPA. We're struggling to wait to open this one.

Have you heard about Women On Tap CIC? A great local company, with big plans for this year!
We know a few of you like beer, so make sure to get down to find out what will be happening all around Harrogate this May.

Nice write up in the YEP for one of our lovely business customers. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Leeds!

We've got a treat for you this #FizzFriday. With only 980 bottles produced we've got a little parcel of this super limited English stunner from @hennersvineyard. . Beating out just about every Champagne on our shelf for quality and at just £44.99, a fraction of the price you'd expect to pay for a cuvée of this quality, this is not one to be missed. .... Blending the very best base wines of 2009, 2010 and 2011, the palate uncovers rich brioche notes coupled with an almond sweetness and finished with a bright apple crispness and lemon zest acidity, leaving your mouth watering for more.

Sometimes you need a drop of anarchy. Four tasty new drops and a couple of old favourites from our favourite Northern Brewmasters @anarchybrewco. Tri-hop Simcoe - the first in a series, using all 3 formats of hop at a cheeky 7.3% Psychotronic Warlord - a malty, rich red IPA SMASH Cashmere- single hop, single malt and incredibly smashable... The first in brand new DDH series and of course a touch of Sublime Chaos and Anti Venom. Make sure to grab them fast, we get thirsty in store.

#WhiskyIsComing

Really close to Leeds train station and worth a visit - run by the same folk as The Little Ale House in Harrogate. ☕️ & 🍻

We've been in hibernation for a little bit, but it looks as if Spring has well and truly sprung! Do you know what that means? New wines and fresh, zesty treats, like this stunner from Australia. Wightmare Chardonnay from Alpha Box and Dice. Transporting you to another dimension, with crisp Granny Smith apples, stone fruit and an ... overarching pourmeanotherglass-ness, Wightmare is your picnic perfect Chardonnay at a weeknight qwoffing price, down from £14.99 to just £7.99. Thirst quenching and moreish, what's not to love?

#Veganuary might be over, but we're not atopping there. . Our ethos has always been "wine know how simply shared" so, with the momentum of #Veganuary, we've decided to extend this to our vegetarian/vegan range. . Over the next few days we'll be working to mark all our Vegetarian and Vegan products with a simple V (Vegetarian) or Ve (Vegan) to make it that little bit easier for our customers to pick out a suitable wine. We'll also be, over time, extending this to Organic, low-...sulfite and Biodynamic wines too. This may take a few days to complete with our current range, but once this has been done all our wines will be marked with this little label on delivery (when appropriate). Is there anything else you would want to see on our wine tickets in the future? Cheers, team A&H 🥂

So it was our Christmas party last night, and we're back to business as usual today.
We just wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you to some of the independent's that helped make our day extra special. So thanks to The Little Ale House for hosting us, Manna Bakery & Lancasters Bakery for filling us with delicious baked goods and Major Tom's Social for pizza's and beer after a long day of wine tasting.
... We're back open today and drinking pints of restorative coffee. Cheers! ☕

*CUSTOMER ANNOUNCEMENT* We will be closed tomorrow (Monday 28th January)forward training. We will reopen as normal on Tuesday. Cheers! 🥂

The wine's flowing, so who's popping in to try this little stunner? Dancho Luka Sauv/Sem from @carinusfamilyvineyards. Think Bordeaux with South African flare.

We figured we couldn't have all the fun... . It's tasting season for the team, so whilst they're off sipping their way through some of this year's most exciting new wines, we figured we'd crack open a few of the favourites of last year you might not have tried yet. . This weekend we have two of our South African stars, @carinusfamilyvineyards 2016 Dancho Luka Sauv/Sem and @perdebergwinery 2013 The Dry Land Collection.... We can think of worse ways to start the weekend.
