We're looking forward to another Beer & Cheese Tasting with The Bottle Bank, Holmes Chapel! 🧀🍻

Wednesday 9th September 2026. Tickets available through The Beer Emporium Bottle Bank.

🍺🧀 BEER & CHEESE NIGHT is back 🧀🍺

Next Wednesday (9th September), join us and Godfrey C. Williams & Co for a night of 6 beers, thoughtfully paired with 6 cheeses by Dan. Lizzy will be talking you through the beers that she’s selected for the event.

You’ll have the chance to support 2 local businesses, taste some incredible locally made products and ask questions on everything beer and cheese related! We’ve kept the price lower in the hopes of attracting a regular crowd to these events.

This is the first of many events we plan to host with Dan exploring all of the many tipples that we offer, and their perfect pairing with some of Dan’s finest offerings. Look out for more dates being released on the website.
