5 Towns Brewery - Outwood Bound & Niamh's Nemesis again the only shop to be stocking these beers.

Some old favourites from Concrete cow will be back and we are the only place outside Bucks that stocks those beers.

3 beers from Manchester area will be arriving as well including Boggarts Rum Porter.

In cider news - Some new ciders will be arriving along with 3 from Hogans.

Don't forget 29th March it cider & cheese night from 7pm get your tickets now just £2.50 each you will get to try some of our range.

As its St Patricks on the 17th March we will be holding a Stout week. Ireland's favourite drink however we font stock Guinness but many other great stouts from around the world.

Sadly there are a few Best before dates up on a couple of lines nothing wrong with those beers and for me they should really have a longer date on them as the some of the beer we have go until 2016. So these are reduced in price to clear and they will be replaced with some other new beer.

Bier Huis Opens Saturday


Well at last we open our doors on Saturday morning at 10 am and for those who still are unsure where we are. We are in the old portfolio shop at the seemore centre next to Coral bookmakers. In downtown Ossett.

We have had to rush the opening due to a slight error with Royal Mail and not delivering our events licence for the stall at the lights switch on. The stall will still be there and you can purchase a great range of chutney, honey, mustard's and loads of other good stuff but not the beers!

Hopefully everything will arrive on time and fingers cross we have a great range from loads of Yorkshire breweries, a good selection of UK beers some you know some you won't and then a lovely choice of weird and wonderful beers from around the world. If it arrives I recommend the Coral tonica from Madeira. Tasty dark beer.

I have managed to source a selection of ciders none of this magners muck and even some from Yorkshire.

And as the customer is mainly right I have draught drinks for sale in 2 pint cartons. 2 ales and 2 ciders which will rotate.

And if that is not enough I have a great selection of Yorkshire produce. Henderson's Relish, Yorkshire crisps, Yorkshire chorizo now with a spicy version as well. Plus chutney's, mustard's as well as some Wakefield honey.

As for Saturday there will be loads going on so keep checking Facebook or twitter for updates.

And at this point I would like to thank Mark and Caitlin who came along and helped painted the wall. Ian & Steve who with a lot of planning sorted the grilles on the window out. Phil from Holland who popped in with some lovely beers from Belgium. And everyone that has come along and purchased from us and helping to get us set up.

Latest News - October

Well it’s been a long time since I wrote a blog. So here goes.

Its’ been a busy time for us at the moment we are now less than a week away from the end of our licence application process and hopefully that will be signed off with no issues. Then the real work can start on transforming the shop from an empty dirty shell to something which I hope will do us proud. All the shelving has been picked out it’s just a case of the carpet and what colour paint. (We might even have a paint party with food and drink if anyone would like to help) Along with getting the new signage booked in and up.

I did have an opening day of Friday 11th November with a grand opening on the Saturday but this clashes with the Wakefield Beer Festival so we might stick to that date or go for the week after.

So now on to the good stuff I have also been busy sorting out more beers for you. I will have an extra few British beers as well as some lovely extra special Italian beer at our next market which is Saturday 22nd October. (Spread the word) Along with that I have our ever expanding range of gifts. Our own created T-shirts, Calendars & gift packs they can all be seen at www.bierhuis.co.uk/gift-packs and don’t forget Bar Bier Huis will be back £2 a bottle (served in a plastic glass) of York Minster or the lovely German wheat beer Schofferhofer & Ossett Excelsior @ £2.30 for you to drink while you shop on the other stalls.

The following week we are back in Ossett but inside this time at the lovely Elizabethans Christmas Craft Fair at the town hall from 10 am until 1-30

And in all of that I have been busy chatting to brewers up and down the country about having their beers and ciders stocked by us. Although we favour the Yorkshire beers it is also key to us that we supply with some of the regional beers from around the country with a majority of these not being available in the area. Which Concrete Cow and Dunham Massey are. These so far have gone down very well.

If you have any ideas then please email me

So these are just a few breweries which we will be stocking soon.

Wold Top – East Yorkshire
Magic Rock – West Yorkshire
Summer Wine – West Yorkshire
Leeds – West Yorkshire
Coach House – Cheshire
Cheddar Ales - Somerset
Cheshire Cider – Cheshire
Woodthorpe Hall Cider – South Yorkshire

Oh and we are launching a loyalty card. They are being printed at the moment so we should be able to start at the market and for this you will get a double stamp!
