The Clevedon Distillery emerges...
The Clevedon Distillery emerges...
Nicholas & Lukasz launched PIER GIN® in April 2021, a project that turned lockdown walks a full scale business. We are currently securing a new home and in the meantime continue to make gin at our friends vodka distillery at The Old Army Camp Distillery in Somerset. Antony at The Somerset Spirit Co. continues to be critical, enabling us to maintain Pier Gin supplies; a huge thank you to them. This means we can continue hosting gin tasting, gin making, cocktail masterclasses, events and private parties as well as pop-ups in markets and different locations.
You can read our full story, and how we are locally inspired and globally conscious, below.

We love gin.
We find it fascinating how spirits can take on the essence of location, evoke a memory through taste or how a season can be captured in a bottle.
A two week road-trip of Welsh micro-distilleries in August 2020, as well as the time and space that long Lockdown days provided, gave us the confidence to combine Nicholas' passion for flavours and foraging with Lukasz' cultural and creative talents. By using gin to capture our own locality, we continually play around with tastes - what we like, can forage and grow. We ask our friends and families too and this has led us to launching where we live in Clevedon; moving from consumer to producer, The Clevedon Distillery emerged.
We love Clevedon.
We live a pebble’s throw from Clevedon’s sea front with its huge estuary skies. The changing tides and seasons bring with them the smells, sights and tastes of seaside living and we knew that we wanted to embody these in our gin: a true taste of living close to nature. Bottling up this spirit of Clevedon; it’s fresh salty air, hedgerow berries and bright yellow gorse are the true essence of our Pier Gins. We also love travelling nationally and internationally, and have been luckily to live and work in countries around the world. This has inspired us of course, as well as made us realise that a more local approach to how we live and work must be a focus.
We love local.
We are strong supporters of all things local, whether it’s our veg box from The Veg Box or film nights at the iconic Curzon cinema, and we knew that for our gin we wanted to stay close to home. We had no idea what was on our doorstep until we started to explore botanicals that grew locally, including wild fennel, gorse and sea buckthorn. We have not stopped there, and continue to work on making every aspect of our Pier Gins as local as they can be, including working with:
Ria and Anna at Brown Rock Market Garden (sage and fennel suppliers)
Jamie from Waggle and Hum (supplying Borage Honey for our Garden gin and beeswax to seal our bottle caps)
Full House Labels in Yatton, who supply all our boxes and bags.
That Copy Shop (Clevedon) and Out of Hand printers (Bristol) for our leaflets and bottle labels.
Pete and Kate at The Fallen Tree Micropub, and, Sue and Steve from 67BaristaBarber whose support has been invaluable.
Whilst we get our micro distillery up and running, Antony from Somerset Spirit Company is helping us to get Pier Gin out there. It started with the amazing Joe from Chew Valley Distillery, and as of September 2021, Antony is now running our gin through his stills to our botanical recipes whilst we get set up in Clevedon.
Not only that, we will continue to make conscious choices in our sourcing, production and marketing to be as sustainable as possible.

The PIER GIN Series
Pier Gin: CLASSIC
Pier Gin, the 'classic' is a soft gin (due to it low Juniper content). It was designed so that it could be used in any way: G&T, neat, cocktails with lemonade...
Mixer: Folkington's Indian Tonic Water ➝ (click to order)
Garnish: A thin slice of lime and a glass full or ice (or shake your Pier Gin and pop it in to the freezer, along with your lime slices; no need for ice).
Elderflower, fennel and gorse.
Pier Gin: COASTAL Edition
Coastal, is a light herby gin with elderflower hints and fresh fennel and gorse notes foraged from the coastal path between Clevedon and Portishead.
Mixer: Folkington's Elderflower Presse ➝ (click to order)
Garnish: A twist of lemon rind over the glass and a glass full or ice.
Gooseberries, sage and honey.
Pier Gin: GARDEN Edition
Garden, is best enjoyed as a long Gin & Tonic. With gooseberry hints, followed by fresh sage, the honey adds a flavour but not the sweetness. All botanicals come from people's gardens and allotments in Clevedon.
Mixer: Folkington's Garden Tonic ➝ (click to order)
Garnish: Any herb or fruit you might find in a summer garden: rosemary, thyme, lemon verbena, raspberries/
Elderberry, rosehip and pine.
Pier Gin: WOODLAND Edition
Woodland, is intended to be a stronger, shorter G&T with a tart and sweet top note followed by warming pine, foraged from Clevedon up the woods to Cadbury Camp.
Mixer: Folkington's Eary Grey Tonic ➝ (click to order)
Garnish: A fresh slice of red chilli.
Seaweed, seabuckthorn and sea salt.
Pier Gin: SHORELINE Edition
Shoreline, is designed to be drunk neat at room temperature in order to get the balance of the seaweed and sea buckthorn. A soda could be used to make it a longer drink, but tonic does not work with this one. Botanicals foraged from Clevedon, Sand Bay and Uphill seashores.
Mixer: Folkington's Club Soda ➝ (click to order)
Garnish: A rasher of crispy bacon next to a cheese board.

Our aspiration is to be climate positive. Currently we are working on 'low miles, low carbon' as a first step. We are trying to make our gin production as sustainably transparent as possible.
Our aspiration is to be climate positive. Currently we are working on 'low miles, low carbon' as a first step. We are trying to make our gin production as sustainably transparent as possible.
Our current approach is keeping as low miles as possible as a first step with an aim of being zero net carbon within the next few years. Once our distillery is up and running at full capacity we want to be carbon negative (or climate positive, a more optimistic term!).
The list below is growing, so keep coming back to see what we are doing now to be locally inspired, globally conscious as well as future aspiration. Click to read more.
In production...
SPIRIT: Currently, we use a locally made grain spirit in Bristol with organic barley from South Gloucestershire.
WATER: Currently, we use local water to blend the spirit. Can't get much more eco than that!
FILTERING: We want to source a British, or even local version, of organic activated carbon once we get set up.
ENERGY: We want to move to using 100% renewable energy in all stages of the process.
TRANSPORT: We deliver on foot or bicycle to our Click and Collects or within Clevedon, and plan other deliveries whilst we are doing other tasks. In the future, we aim to get an electric car/mini van.
Whilst bottling...
BOTTLES: Currently, we use 51% recycled glass, sourced from the South West and are trying to source higher recycled content (although there is much debate around this). Our bottles are slimmer and lighter than most, which means we can fit more in boxes as well as them being lighter. This has an impact on transport... less weight means less fuel to manufacture, less material and less fuel to transport. Better than buying the bottle is reusing them, and we aim to offer a refill service once we are up and running; reusing a glass bottle can reduce up to 30% of the carbon of gin production.
LABELS: Our labels currently are made from paper, although it is not recycled paper pulp at this stage. This is something we are exploring with our designers and printers.
TAGS are currently cardboard and natural latex rubber bands. We are trying to source an organic/recyclable materials. Our challenge is making sure the double sided labels stay on the bottle, so people know what they are buying! Any ideas, warmly welcomed.
CAPS: We use FSC wooden bottle tops with a composite 'cork'. In the future we want to explore organic materials for the cork element (although not cork though as it can degrade and fall into the gin as well as being hard to trace origins).
ANTI-TAMPER SEALS, currently are made by hand dipping bottles in local beeswax. Can't get much more sustainable than that!
When serving...
TAKEAWAY: During the warmer months we offer Takeaway G&T and Mulled Gin in the winter months. These are always served in compostable VegWare cups.
POSTAGE: We use cardboard for everything, and refuse to use any form of single use plastic (unless we are reusing it ourselves). Where we do use plastic, it is usually PLA (a bioplastic made from plant oil) and where this is not possible, the plastic must be grade 1 recyclable (the number one inside the triangle of recycle arrows) meaning it can be recycle at any recycling point.
We have only just started, so if you can see a hole in our list, let us know and we will endeavour to fill it. If you also know of someone that help us achieve our aspiration, again please Get in Touch.
