As the name suggests there is a massive selection of bottles available to buy here, there are also two bars, one on each level,extremely busy as most places were on the day. I had my highest abv beer of the day here ,Magic Rock Demonolia IPA 7.2% costing £2.40 a half. An interesting place for beer buffs.

Located in a railway arch on Druid Street Market, this is the only venue on the Bermondsey Beer Mile that doesn't have its own brewery on site. The place is instead, as the name suggests, a bottle shop that also happens to have a pretty decent range of microbrewery beers available on keg. The shop has a sister venue in Canterbury, just outside the train station, which opened in 2010 and the company are also involved in the importing of beer from around the world. As such, the beer range here is nicely varied, with brews available from the likes of Beavertown, Mikkeller, Omnipollo and Buxton across nine taps which are split between the ground floor and mezzanine level bars. The ground floor bar is a small space with the servery to the right and plenty of fridges packed with bottled beer delights primarily for off sales purposes. Stairs to the rear left lead up to a sizable upper seating area with a larger bar supporting six keg beers and plenty of canteen style seating. A few pump clips adorn the corrugated iron walls and there is an outdoor seating area with many punters spilling out onto the road beyond. With the place busy, but not uncomfortably so, I found myself perched outside on a keg of Beavertown Gamma Ray IPA, which was more comfortable than it probably sounds. I gave one of the Buxton beers a try and found it tasty but not as enjoyable as its cask equivalent.
This is an unusual place that makes a welcome break from the numerous microbreweries on the Beer Mile, offering a choice of brewers' products, albeit at pretty steep prices. The place may well be worth a look if you're trying to find something a bit out of the ordinary and it works well as part of the crawl but will probably be too niche for your average drinker.
Open Saturdays 10:00 - 19:00 and Sundays 12:00 - 18:00
