Expanding Rare Drop to bring more North East craft drinks & produce to locals & businesses. Support indie makers & grow our community!

by The Rare Drop in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom

Hi, I’m Calvin, the owner of Rare Drop, and I need your help to take our business to the next level!

Since we opened, Rare Drop has been all about great drinks, community, and supporting independent producers. Now, we’re expanding – adding a new, bigger space and launching a wholesale service to supply amazing local wines, craft beers, and produce to businesses across the North East.

We’re passionate about championing North East-based producers – from small breweries, artisan spirit distilliries and independent food suppliers – and making it easier for people to discover the best our region has to offer. This expansion will mean more local products, more events, and a bigger community hub for everyone who loves quality food and drink.

Your support will help us grow sustainably, bring in more local stock, and create an even better space for our customers and trade partners. Whether you’re a regular, a business owner, or just love what we do, we’d love for you to be part of this journey.

Join us in shaping the next chapter of Rare Drop – let’s make the North East’s indie food and drink scene stronger than ever!

Cheers,
Calvin
