Custard Factory reception & Fazeley Studios' Grand Gallery
We are pleased to announce we are bringing Gin to Digbeth, and we need all you lovely Digbethians to help us decide how it should taste!
One grey Tuesday afternoon in deepest darkest Brierley Hill our esteemed and newly self-appointed gin team ahem created not one but two Digbeth inspired Gins, both of which were distilled in a lovely traditional Copper Still called Doris. Doris gave us her best work and as a result, we ended up with Digbeth 1 and Digbeth 2 (we also have Digbeth 3, 4 and 5 but that's a whole other story!)
And so. we are calling on the help of Digbeth to decide (because we couldn’t) which version Doris should brew up as our very own Digbeth Gin!
How can you help we hear you cry… by getting involved in one of our FREE tasting tests of course and casting your vote!
What’s more, by voting you could win yourself the very first bottle of said winning Gin that rolls off the distribution line - you have to be in it to win it so make sure you get those votes in by February 20th
The gins can be found on the following dates and locations for your enjoyment until stocks run out:
