Formby's first Craft Beer Shop to become Pop-Up Micro Pub


Chris Giles, owner of the Bottle Tree.jpg

The Bottle Tree is Formby's first ever craft beer shop and now is set to become Formby's first ever Micro Pub - once a month - Starting this bank holiday (Saturday 2 May- Monday 4th May), The Bottle Tree is set to become a micro pub one weekend a month. Punters will have the opportunity to sit in and drink from the shop's collection.

The Bottle Tree on Church Road, Formby opened its doors five weeks ago - and is already proving popular amongst locals. Owner Chris Giles, pictured above, who serves in the RAF, decided to open the store after seeing a gap in the market.

He said: "I've been in the RAF for three years now and because I'm away on duty I decided to invest the money I'd saved rather than wasting it when I got back.

"Craft beers are becoming more and more popular and I decided that's what I'd like to sell, but we also do a selection of spirits and fine wines, too.

Chris went on to say "It's going really well so far, there's a lot of interest around, there's nothing around here quite like it so I think people are excited by it."

The 19-year-old says that gin is one of the store's most popular offerings.

"At the minute gin seems to be very popular, I think our most popular is a local one - Liverpool Gin. We're also selling a lot of Royal Dragon Vodka."
