Grip and grin (and win)
Please forgive us a brief episode of own-trumpet-blowing, but we were beyond delighted and not a little gobsmacked to be named London Retailer of the Year at the Celebrate British Beer Awards, held at the Houses of Parliament on Monday night. That's Jen and Glenn, above, rocking the classic "grip and grin" shot with MP Andrew Griffiths from the All Party Parliamentary Beer Group (APPBG).
Judged by a panel of beer writers, sommeliers and industry experts, it's a wonderful accolade to have under our belt as we come up to our second birthday next month and a real testament to the team's hard work. Congratulations to the other winners around the country and all the shortlisted outlets, and sincere thanks to the organisers Off Licence News and the APPBG.
(On an awards note, please chuck us a vote in the Time Out Love London Awards if you haven't already. We're nominated in the Peckham Shop category and now is the time we really need your votes as the voting closes at the end of the month. Please head here and click the little heart button next to our name.)

New chilli wonderwall
Our chilli shelves have been redesigned (c/o our good friend Geoff at Re-fuze). As well as being lighter and brighter, you'll now be able to quickly find hot sauces from London, the rest of the UK and further afield, as well as a new section that shines the spotlight on our sauces of the week.
This week, we're going with an orange theme and profiling some cracking sauces from around the world. Bee Sting "Quasi-Thai" Sriracha is a spicier, honey-sweetened version of the iconic table sauce, Orange Krush Habanero is a hugely flavourful sauce that features an all-spice mix (including ginger, mace and cardamom) to bring out the punch, and don't miss the limited edition, hand-numbered Fire Dragon New Zealand Chilli Eating Champs 2016 sauce, packed with Carolina Reapers, Scorpions, 7 Pots, Ghosts and more. With only 100 bottles ever produced, it's one for the serious hot heads.
