SUNDAY 23RD AUGUST — A DAY OF HERMANOS 🌵

Sips has always been a bar, technically.

But the beer was never really the point.

The point was creating a little room in Salisbury where good things could be given the time and attention they deserve. A beautiful beer. A record played from beginning to end. A conversation that accidentally lasts three hours. Strangers becoming less strange.

So on Sunday 23rd, we’re trying something very simple.

Hermanos Gutiérrez. All day.

Brothers Estevan and Alejandro Gutiérrez make music that feels suspended somewhere between their Ecuadorian roots, desert highways, old westerns and the cosmos. Two guitars, very few words, and an extraordinary amount of space.

There’s something about the way they play together that feels particularly appropriate for Sips.

One guitar speaks.
The other listens.
One wanders.
The other follows.

And somewhere in the space between them, something emerges that neither could quite make alone.

Perhaps good bars work in much the same way.

We fill so much of our lives with noise. Music becomes something underneath something else. Drinks disappear while we’re thinking about the next one. Conversations become waiting for our turn to speak.

This is an invitation to do the opposite.

Come down. Bring some food. Bring a book. Bring somebody you love, somebody you’ve just met, or nobody at all.

Order something delicious. Find a corner. Listen.

We’ll travel through the Hermanos Gutiérrez catalogue throughout the day.

No timetable. No performance. Nothing particularly complicated.

Just a room, some records, some drinks, some people, and a little collective intention to actually be there for all of it.

Bring your intention. Let the music take you somewhere. 🌵

Absolute scenes at Sips last night. Amongst all the chaos and energy bouncing around the city centre… Sips remained distinctly; Sips.

Father’s Day. 🍻

We’ve spent the last week surrounding the bar with gift boxes, oversized bottles, special editions and a few things that we’re not entirely convinced we should be selling at all.

🎁 £10 Gift Vouchers are back if you’d rather let them loose in here themselves.



Gift Boxes

We’ve managed to get our hands on fresh gift sets from…

🍺 🆕 Tynt Meadow
🐘 Delirium
🏰 Kasteel
🧝 Chouffe
🐴 Kwak

Complete with the proper glassware, because drinking Belgian beer from the wrong glass still feels slightly illegal.



The ridiculous shelf…

We’ve also pulled together a few bottles that deserve a little more attention…

• 3L Westmalle Dubbel
• 1.5L Tilquin Gueuze
• 6L St. Bernardus Abt 12
• Straffe Hendrik Heritage
• Barrel Aged Delirium
• Barrel Aged Chimay

The sort of bottles that become the centrepiece of an evening before anyone’s even opened them.



For the whisky drinkers…

A couple of favourites have escaped the shelf.

🥃 Arrogant Bastard - treasured as much for the wonderfully unapologetic names as the whisky itself.

🥃 Duvel 10 Year - beautifully aged and painfully easy to drink.

Both available to take home.



The tap board has quietly become one of our favourites in a while too.

Belgian classics sitting alongside fresh pales, fruit sours, pastry stouts, lambics and a few wonderfully strange things.

If Dad would rather unwrap a pint than a present… we’ve got that covered too.

And with the weather looking rather glorious, we’ve dragged plenty of extra seating outside.

Come and spend Father’s Day the Sips way.

Good beer.
Good people.
No novelty socks. ❤️

See you later? 🍻

To celebrate Jacob’s birthday on the 4th of June we are bringing you the first in a series of music focussed events hosted at Sips this summer; We Listen.

Bring your own food, bring a beanbag, bring a blanket, bring your friends, get comfy, enjoy the ride.

———————————————

Boards Of Canada -
A gentle collision of faded memories, analogue ghosts, woodland transmissions and impossible nostalgia. Music that feels unearthed rather than composed. Like finding an old photograph of a childhood you don’t remember having.

INFERNO - The first new release in thirteen years.
To put that into perspective: when their last record arrived, Instagram was mostly photos of breakfast, TikTok didn’t exist, and half the artists currently citing Boards of Canada as an influence were still in school.

Some albums are releases.

This feels more like the reappearance of a long-lost object.

———————————————

We will be playing every Boards Of Canada release from start to finish, all on vinyl.

4PM - Music Has The Right To Children
5:15 - Geogaddi
6:25 - Twoism
7:05 - The Campfire Headphase
8:10 - Tomorrow’s Harvest
9:15 - Inferno
10:30 - End / A Short Playlist from Jacob of BoC adjacent tracks from the last ten years.

———————————————

Bring your curiosity. Bring your nostalgia.

We’ll provide the signal.

See you soon.

Vault City - Rapberry Blueberry Bubblegum Bottles
Sour as you like, stains your tongue blue. Blue babyyyyyyy.

Sips 4.0 RE-CAP

Old friends and new. Memories refreshed and made. Good vibes flowing faster than the beer from the taps. What an evening. And it’s all down to you!

Sips is a project focused around community. Yes it’s a bar, yes we sell beer, but its sole intention has always been to create an environment where people can feel safe and welcome. Where you can let your hair down without worry or concern. Without pressure to act or pose. A place of beer, and love.

This landmark celebration was no exception to the rule. We saw beer hunters travelling from afar to taste our array of rarities on tap, and locals filling the bar primed and ready to dance the night away. And that the did, good feeling and kind souls surrounded us all night long.

Our DJ’s as always smashed the brief, and took us on an audio journey like on other. Hats off to Granny Franks for playing a stellar set - what an absolute honour it is to have you among us 🙏

The team behind it all; Jacob, Melissa, Chewie, James, Emma, Harriet, Lula - perhaps the smoothest run event to date?! Special thanks to Emma, Harriet and Lula who suffered trial by fire of sorts, being nearly their first shifts behind a bar. They absolutely nailed it. Maximum respect.

Videos and photos will never do it justice - so I guess you’ll have to just come along next time…?

Here’s to 4 years of Sips, and here’s to whatever the future may hold…!
