Parking this here. While in the Bedford Square area yesterday I spotted that this shop had an interesting selection of bottled beers in the window. We already have two good beer shops, but this one is nicely situated in the centre, and would be ideal to take visitors to when doing a pub crawl around the highlights of Southampton central.
I'm keen to go back and check them out. Their website doesn't appear to have been updated in some years, and you can't order anything from it.

OK, popped in quickly and grabbed a handful of local beers, and some deals on out of date stock. There's a good choice, and prices are decent. Well worth popping in if in the area.

The shop is closing due to the cost of living crisis following the Covid lockdowns. It has been taken over by Jimmy Hathaway, owner of Unity Brewing, and will be renamed. It will offer Unity beers plus other "craft" beers, and do tasting sessions.

| The revamped shop |
Unity Brewing has gone out of business, though owner Jimmy Hathaway will keep Cloud Wine open under the name Good Libations. It will sell "craft" beers (that tends to mean citric hoppy lagers sold in tins - a bit like the old lager and limes from the early Seventies, but usually stronger) and some Belgians beers (good!). And will offer tastings, and the chance to drink purchases on the premises for a fee.
