Galentine’s and Palentine’s: Celebrating Friendships
Galentine’s (celebrating friendships between women) and Palentine’s (a more inclusive version for all friends) are the perfect excuses to gather your nearest and dearest for some quality time together. What’s better than sharing drinks, laughter, and memories with the people who make your world brighter?
Titanic Cherry Porter: Beer of the Month
For those looking for something a little different, our Beer of the Month, Titanic Cherry Porter, is a standout choice. With its deep, rich flavour and a hint of sweet cherry, it’s the perfect brew for cosy gatherings. This beer pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, so why not host a chocolate and beer tasting evening? Line up an assortment of dark and fruity chocolates to match the porter’s flavour profile – a Palentine’s Day to remember!
Serving Tip: Serve the Titanic Cherry Porter in a glass to let its dark ruby hue shine. Pair with a roaring fire, good conversation, and plenty of snacks.
Valentine’s Day Gifts: A Toast to Your Loved Ones
Finding the perfect Valentine’s gift doesn’t have to be stressful. Sometimes, the best way to say “I love you” is with a thoughtfully chosen bottle.
