New spiced rum docks at Grimsby brewery

Brewery Director, Will Douglas, explains,

“Stevedores are the backbone of our ports – dockers who stow and unload cargo until the graft is done. We created Stevedore Rum to honour these grafters and to raise a glass to their contribution to the maritime heritage of Grimsby and ports far and wide. Few drinks better evoke the spirit of the docks than rum so we feel it is an essential addition to our drinks range. We are already selling it in our online shop and it will be our house rum when the taproom reopens. It is another example of how we have been diversifying our business to cope with the impact of Covid19.”

Managing Director of Unconventional Distillery, Sam Owen, adds,

“We’ve enjoyed working on this bespoke product for Docks Beers. Rum, spices, and sugar arrived from exotic locations all over the world into our nation’s docks and so it is absolutely fitting for them to have a rum. We were delighted to collaborate with them to create a recipe that celebrates the importance of rum and brings the Docks Beers twist to this increasingly popular spirit.”

The spiced rum is sold in individual 70cl bottles for £32 and is now available to purchase from the Docks Beers webshop.
