This is a bit of an introduction from me, Phil, I am the proud owner of Otter’s Tears. I’m not your stereotypical craft beer shop owner, no quirky hat, plaid shirt nor the seemingly obligatory beard (I tried to grow one once but it was pitiful).

Otter’s Tears caters for the serious beer lover, the beer enthusiast, the beer collectors and connoisseurs as well as those new to beer setting out on your own beer journey. I want you to be comfortable buying beer from me whoever you are, so if you need a helping hand, please get in touch. When you visit the Otter’s Tears website, I want it to feel like the beery equivalent of walking onto the set of “Tales Of The Unexpected” an exciting twist or an “I never expected to find that” moment around every corner. Dive in and explore Otter’s Tears for yourself, find your next beer moment!
