About Us

What do we do?

We are a narrowboat off-licence.

We sell real ale, wine and cider at festivals, pop-ups, weddings or events - at the canal-side - to lovers of local produce. We cruise the canals, visiting the best of breweries, cider makers and vineyards to bring their produce to our customers along the way.


Who are we?

We are John & Helen, husband and wife team. We hired many different boats over the years, then bought our first boat in 2007, and finished building a new one in 2015 - called Miss Ellie No2 aka

"The Beer Boat"

Always on the lookout for new beer, wine and cider and fantastic places to visit.

How did The Beer Boat begin?

The journey of how we turned our narrowboat into a business can be found in our blog posts here.  

It started from the ground up, literally.
