Ship in a bottle shop front

Welcome to The Ship in a Bottle’s website: If you haven’t seen our bottled beer shop, or you do not know who we are, this site should bring you up to speed.

We are a specialist beer shop situated on Whitechapel, next to Cafe Nero in Liverpool City Centre, selling a range of over 300 products. The Ship in a Bottle is a sister shop to The Ship & Mitre pub on Dale Street, Liverpool’s premier free house best known for its Beer Festivals, Real Ale and imported bottled and draught beers. The pub has won the prestigious Pub of the Year award for Merseyside on many occasions, as well as being named a Pub of Excellence on many other occasions.

Our aim at The Ship in a Bottle is to be as renowned for a great variety of products you won’t find many other places, as well as good quality bottled ales & ciders at affordable prices. We also look to be able to offer advice wherever possible with regards to beer selections, ensuring the service you receive from us is second to none. So if you are looking to try something new, and are unsure on what’s good, feel free to ask our staff for some advice or a recommendation or even just what’s been selling well today.

The Ship in a Bottle can also cater for your party; with special orders and requests available for cases of beers, sold at discount prices you’d be mad to buy your beer anywhere else!!!
