First of, yes I am involved with this.

I would be really interested to know peoples' opinions on the proposed site:

http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/Concerns-high-end-beer-store-plan/story-26851059-detail/story.html

If you are in favour, then a comment on the telegraph website would be greatly appreciated. If you are against it, then PM me or email me and I would be happy to answer any questions / concerns you may have.

"Crime, disorder and harm to schoolchildren" and it will "attract the wrong sort of people (alcoholics)". We really don't like change around here do we? Can't you be the anchor tenants at Peaks Parkway to really urine them off?

I've added a comment to the site. Like most people, I love my home town but it's so fcking frustrating to see the backward-thinking fear of change that holds it back. The council have been tripping up the town's football club for so many years it shouldn't really be a surprise that local small businesses trying to achieve something face similar nimby scaremongering.

I'm staggered by the opposition to this. If it were a bar, i could understand it but people who use this place would be just beer enthusiasts. The residents make it sound like there will be hordes of drunks standing outside necking beer. Second hand tat shops abound in town now and we could do with more specialist outlets. I well remember the riotous drunken behaviour when Small Beer was trading. It was appalling.  

I'm all for it and will be a customer for sure if and when it's up and running.

Yeah, I'd heard about this petition before this report (I work around the corner from the place). Bloody ridiculous, of course, and it is particularly amusing that one of the comments against it seems to be from the owners of Halletts (NISA Today) next door which is... an off licence!

Though I think much of the 'Craft beer' scene is a bit wanky, to say the least, I hope opposition to the plans is dropped as I'd certainly nip into the place from time to time to see what they've got. Providing I don't have to grow a hipster beard and wear skinny jeans to be admitted.

Oh, it would be nice if they stocked lots of nice Belgian beers as well.

I'm 34 and still can't grow a beard and my figure is not suited to skinny jeans so no worries on that score!

Yep, I like it but my hipster klaxon nearly went off. Prefer Tall Boys in Thornton Arcade personally.

They are springing up all over now. We even have one in Shipley https://www.facebook.com/shipleytriangle

Nothing at all like this anywhere in NE Lincs. The nearest is probably Beverley or Sheffield.

Yeah it's as hipster as you like. Another couple of pints and I was definitely going to challenge the barman as to why he was wearing a woolly hat on one of the hottest days of the year. Still enjoyed it though and considering how small the bottle shop is there was a good bit of variety. The gang of teenagers outside doing glue and drinking halves of IPA ruined it a bit though.

Haven't been in Tall Boys but will have a look next time I'm in Town. Have anybody of the Leeds/Yorks based Mariners drunk anything from Roosters Brewery in Knaresborough. Had some really nice cans from there and they have one or two on tap in Friends of Ham which have all been good.
