Code of Conduct
We, at Spookton, believe that beer, the beer industry and the wider beer community, is for anyone, and everyone should feel comfortable when they are enjoying beer.
Start as you mean to go on. Whilst we are small, it seems like we should set out how we expect ourselves to behave as we grow, and inform our customers and suppliers of our values and the manner in which we expect them to behave.
It should be said: none of the following is difficult or hard. It's not difficult not to be abusive and it's not hard not to harass someone.
We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for our staff, customers and suppliers, at events and across our social media channels and want you to feel that you can be your true, authentic self without fear of judgement. We have zero tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, violence or harassment in any way, shape or form towards our customers or staff.
We want you to feel comfortable, included and able to have a good time when drinking our beers, or interacting with us at festivals, events or online.
The effects of alcohol consumption will not excuse harassing behaviour at any time.
We take our responsibilities seriously and all Spookton staff are expected to conduct themselves with integrity, courtesy and respect for others at all times.
We want to make sure the wider beer industry is an inclusive and safe space and will seek confirmation that a code of conduct which we feel is in line with ours is in place for any beer festivals or events that we attend or that our beers pour at with our knowledge. We will not collaborate with any breweries, venues or events with sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist or any other discriminatory branding and we will not work with companies who we know to behave in these ways or who discriminate, harass or bully their staff or customers.
Should you witness or experience negative behaviour while interacting with Spookton, either in person or online, please report it as soon as possible to one of our team or email hello@spookton.co.uk with details. We promise to take any issues raised with us seriously.
N.B. We have some merch that says "not for everyone", this is a lighthearted reference to the fact that our beer isn't for everyone...but it is for anyone.
