Speaking of seasonal flavors…
Our spring & summer seasonal flavors are going away, this is your last chance to snag a bottle of: Celery & Coriander, Rhubarb & Sea Salt, Hibiscus & Yuzu or Burnt Honey hops - they’re all leaving our shop on Sunday, September 5th (unless they sell out before that)
You’ll have to wait a whole year to get these flavors again… you have been warned.

What is new?
BIG website changes coming soon!!
We’ve already made a ton of changes to our site - but we have something even bigger and better in store for everyone!!
Bitters Lab Club™ Family! Our new MEMBERS area is launching very soon so watch for more details about that in the coming weeks.
And for everyone else… well, just you wait ;)
Sustainability update:
We recently launched a whole page on our website dedicated to our sustainability efforts & since then we’ve been working towards updating our shipping & packaging materials behind the scenes (you may have already noticed some changes).
We’ve been working through our inventory of bubble-wrap lined shipping bags, and sleeves, and are about to transition to all new, totally reusable and/or recyclable shipping materials! To say we’re excited would be an understatement.
“Big Project” update:
If you follow us on social media, you’ve likely noticed us talking about a “big project” lately, well… that project is finally complete!! It was an insane few months putting together thousands of bottles of our Charred Cedar & Currant bitters, and although we can’t share details just yet - we promise that we will VERY SOON, and you’ll be the first to know!
Thank you so much for making it this far in our monthly newsletter - we’re stoked to have you here!
Have a great September and we’ll catch ya in our next installment of the Bitters Lab newsletter, or over on the ‘gram!
