We are opening a micropub!

Introducing: The Common Time - a new community micropub coming soon to Childwall Fiveways.

You may have noticed that all of our beers have a musical theme. Well, we thought, why change that for our first pub? What better name than the musical symbol that was the very inspiration for the Colbier logo!

This isn’t just a Colbier taproom; we are creating a hub of community and independent drinks. We will also stock other breweries that we think you should try, alongside independent spirits, ciders, quality wines and a decent non-alcoholic range. And excellent snacks, naturally.

We have been quietly working on this in the background all year, and we are so incredibly excited to finally be able to announce that it’s coming……….. soon!
