NEW! 25th anniversary polo shirt
We reckon that 25 years of brewing great beers is something worth commemorating – and that's why we've commissioned this rather smart new polo shirt. It's black, with white detailing on the collar and sleeves, and features a special anniversary version of the brewery logo (see inset). 25th anniversary's don't come along very often, and neither do commemorative polo shirts as nice as this one, so get yours now!
£16.50 S/M/L/XL/XXL
NEW! 25th anniversary HPA T-shirt
Yes, we know: you wait 25 years for an item of 25th anniversary clothing, then two come along at once. If T-shirts rather than polo shirts are what flick your fashion switches – and if you're a fan of HPA, our delightful pale ale – you're sure to like this bright blue number. Boasting an unmissable HPA logo on the front, and with a Wye Valley Brewery logo on the sleeve and an anniversary roundel between the shoulder blades on the back, it's a T-shirt that's not short of impact!
£17.50 S/M/L/XL
NEW! Dorothy Goodbody T-shirt
Dorothy saw us producing several new items of clothing and asked us whether she could get in on the action. Well, it's pretty hard to say no to a hop-grower's daughter at the best of times, so this T-shirt was born. It comes in a tasteful, earthy colour, and has the the unmistakable image of Dorothy adorning the front. Just like the girl herself, it's a T-shirt sure to attract plenty of admiring glances.
£17.50 S/M/L/XL
T-shirt (black)
The Wye Valley T-shirt in black. Some say that black is the ultimate fashionable colour – its longevity, sophistication and elegance make it a colour that stands the test of time. OK, we can't promise that our black T-shirt will make you elegant and sophisticated but it will stand the test of time stood at the bar, where it will be sure to attract appreciative nods from anyone who knows the name of a good brewery when they see one.
£10.00 S/M/L/XL
T-shirt (cream)
The Wye Valley T-shirt in cream. While some revere black as the ultimate colour for fashionable garments, many big-up the virtues of the natural, down-to-earth qualities of the off-white end of the spectrum. And what's more, if you're sporting one of these T-shirts beneath a darker-coloured item such as a housecoat or a dinner jacket, the contrast will be a pleasing one.
£10.00 S/M/L/XL
Polo shirt (black)
The Wye Valley Brewery polo shirt is a garment with an interesting provenance. Although seen as the epitome of modern 'business casual' clothing, the polo shirt has been with us for over 80 years. Fed up with the traditional cumbersome, long-sleeved tennis attire, French tennis ace René Lacoste designed a short-sleeved version with an unstarched collar. This style was then adopted in the 1930s by polo players, and latterly by everyone from golfers to plumbers – and, of course, discerning drinkers.
£15.00 S/M/L/XL/XXL
Polo shirt (cream)
Here at the brewery, our allegiance is divided between the black and cream polo. Black suggests you're smart and clever, but cream implies you're friendly and approachable. Cream also says that you're quietly confident of not dribbling your pint (beer really does show up on a cream polo). So, if you tend to drink your ale from a glass rather than a beaker, maybe a cream polo is the one for you.
£15.00 S/M/L/XL/XXL
Rugby shirt
Ah yes, the Wye Valley Brewery rugby shirt. It comes in a heavyweight cotton with an embroidered Wye Valley Brewery logo. It's a rough, tough men's garment, for rough, tough, real-ale-drinking, rugby-playing blokes. Well, we say that, but we reckon it also looks quite the thing when being worn by a woman (preferably not a rough, tough kinda woman that's gonna muscle you out of the way in the queue for the bar, however).
£22.50 S/M/L/XL/XXL
Sweatshirt
Neither a shirt nor in any way sweaty, the Wye Valley Brewery sweatshirt is a comfy long-sleeved item that is perfect for the walk to the pub on those chillier evenings. (By the way, experts tell us that the name sweatshirt is given to a jumper or pullover that is made predominantly from cotton, but where the 'sweat' and 'shirt' came from we may never know!)
£18.50 S/M/L/XL/XXL
Hoodie
Hoodies get a bad press, but we love 'em. Perhaps if everyone who wore them wore ours, with its friendly and recognisable neatly embroidered Wye Valley Brewery logo on the front the world would be a better place. With a drawstring hood, heavyweight cotton and a nice big double entry pocket on the front, it's the kind of garment your mum would think was actually very sensible.
£22.50 S/M/L/XL/XXL
Fleece (black)
The Wye Valley Brewery fleece in black is the kind of item of clothing that's going to see a lot of action. Lovers of fleeces virtually live in them. They (the fleeces, not the lovers) keep you warm when it's cool and help cool you when you get hot. Our version boasts a full length zip, two pockets and a nice high collar to keep the cold draughts out while leaving your mouth clear to let a pint of draught ale in.
£27.50 S/M/L/XL
Fleece (cream)
We would love to tell you that the cream version of the Wye Valley Brewery fleece has slimming properties (a little like vertical stripes). And we would love to say that it makes you more attractive to the opposite sex (or even the same sex, if that's your preference). But the fact of the matter is that we're brewers, not Trinny and Susannah, so all we can say is that it's as snug and comfy as a snug and comfy thing.
£27.50 S/M/L/XL
Baseball cap
The Wye Valley Brewery baseball cap. It's not one of those size-of-a-cake-tin jobs worn backwards by shouty people in rap videos. Nor is it the squashy tweed type sported by elderly whippet-favouring gentlemen from England's more northern counties. No, our cap is more the modern neat-and-tidy fits-to-the-shape-of-your-head type that's refreshingly comfortable to wear (either forwards or backwards, and whatever type of dog you own).
£7.50
Beanie hat (black)
Someone (probably a hat salesman) once memorably said, "If you want to get ahead, get a hat." No doubt they had something like the Wye Valley Brewery beanie in mind when they said it. Never has there been a better way to keep your head warm during the winter months while also celebrating Herefordshire's foremost brewers of fine ales. So, er... "Don't be a meanie, buy a Wye Valley beanie."
£7.50
Beanie hat (cream)
They say that the cream always rises to the top. So let the Wye Valley Brewery cream beanie hat rise to the top of your head during the chillier months of the year (in the UK that could be any time from September to May). This warm and cosy hat will keep your head snug when the temperatures are as low as the bargain price we're charging for it.
£7.50
Scarf
The Wye Valley Brewery scarf is superbly soft and fantastically fleecy. You'll want to hug it, touch it, smooth it and caress it (albeit doing so on a Friday night in The Barrels might get you some funny looks).
£7.00
Backpack
Plain, simple, tasteful. Just three words that could easily be used to describe the Wye Valley Brewery backpack. Functional, flexible, comfortable. Three more words that also apply to this useful piece of kit (or 'luggage', as posh folk would call it). Whatever way you look at it, this is a well-made backpack with the Wye Valley Brewery logo neatly embroidered on it – and it comes at a jolly reasonable price.
£15.00
Holdall
The Wye Valley Brewery holdall. You're probably wondering, "Does it really 'hold all' – as in everything?". Well, for sports kit, clothes for a weekend away and purchases from a visit to our brewery shop, we're happy to tell you that yes, it really does. Made from a rugged waterproof nylon, with tough handles, a useful shoulder strap and embroidered Wye Valley Brewery logo, we reckon that if you bag yourself one of these bags, you've bagged yourself a bargain.
£19.50
Shopping bag
The brand new Wye Valley Brewery jute shopper is a bag with bags of great features. Not only does it last for ages (unlike standard plasic carrier bags) but with short, padded handles it won't try to amputate your fingers when you're carrying something weighty – such as bottles of our ales. And talking of carrying bottles, this clever shopper has a nifty removable divider which creates six bottle-sized sections and prevents any beer or wine bottles from clanking against one another.
£2.00
Umbrella
The brand new Wye Valley Brewery golf umbrella, like most umbrellas, comes in very handy when sheltering from the rain – but you don't have to play golf to have one of these! With your Wye Valley Brewery brolly in hand, not only will you be dry while going about your daily activities, but you will also look pretty dapper!
