WELCOME TO WISHFUL DRINKING

BOTTLESHOP & TAPROOM

BRINGING A FRESH AND VIBRANT RANGE OF BEERS TO RICKMANSWORTH

POP IN FOR A ‘SWIFT ONE’ AND SAY HI!

In store we usually have 9 draught beers and another 50 beers on the shelf in bottles and cans. All of our range is available on this site for reference, along with our selection of wines, spirits soft drinks and cold snacks too!

We are a unique concept that allows you to either join us in our tap room for a beer or two, but if you prefer to buy from us and take-out your drinks, we really don’t mind – its up too you!

To get the best from us, you can come in, talk to us, have a beer or two and then take-away your preference!

AMBER

A very versatile beer, Amber beers are full bodied malt aromas with hints of caramel, these beers could be either lager or ale.

BLONDE

Blonde ales are pale in colour and tend to be clear, crisp, and dry, with low-to-medium bitterness and aroma from hops and some sweetness from malt.

BROWN

Brown ales have evidence of caramel and chocolate flavours and may have a slight citrus accent or be strong, malty or nutty, depending on the area of brewing.
