We have been working hard brewing to maximum capacity to get our stocks back up. We have will have beer racked into bottles and ready to buy over the next 5 weeks. Along with our (currently planned) limited brew of Sum’mat Blonde that is ready to buy now we will have the following available in the coming weeks;
14th May – Matrix IPA (5.4% ABV)
21st May – Hazmat Session IPA (4.0% ABV)
1st June – Ultimate Red Ale (4.9% ABV)
4th June – Biermats Lager (4.5% ABV)
The brewery shop is still open for off-sales and click & collect orders during lockdown all in a covid safe environment. For opening times please see here.
Our brewery shop has now re-opened selling our fantastic bottled beer and 5l party cans of our new Coasters Beers and as ever the brewery is the cheapest place to find our beer!
We also have some new signage directing you off the main A617 so you all know where to find us!
Our opening times are Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm.
We are working hard at getting our online store up and running which will also have click & collect available – watch this space!
It been quite the busy week at the brewery this week, with our 1st 4 brews since being back sold out in 2 days we’ve had to get 4 brews on again (although half of Razzmatazz & Hazmat was put aside for bottling – coming soon!). Soulmate, Ultimate, Razzmatazz & yet more Matrix in the tanks this week all should be ready a week on Monday. Cheers!
We have finally got back to brewing at the brewery this week with Matrix IPA, Razmatazz, Teammates & Hazmat all fermenting away. These should all be ready to go in a couple of weeks but we will keep everyone updated. In the meantime we have some exciting news to announce at the beginning of September………watch this space!
As a result of the on-going coronavirus crisis and following government advise we have taken the decision to temporarily shutdown the brewery for the forseasble future.
Our email address and telephone will still be monitored so if you need to get in touch please do so via our contact page.
Stay safe and we’ll see you for a pint in a few weeks.
We hope you are all keeping safe and well in these unprecedented times.
After the announcement from the government regarding pub closures I want to give some advice to customers who might have stock of our beer remaining after your doors have closed.
If you still have sealed barrels, so unvented and untapped, keep them this way in your cellar, as long as they are kept at 10deg C or lower they should last well beyond their best before date especially if the ABV is above 4.5%.
If you have just tapped or vented your barrel then try as best you can to seal it up – make sure the tap is in the off position, takeout any soft pegs and replace with hard, non-porous pegs to make the barrel air tight, it may be an idea to top up the slight loss of beer from tapping with clean tap water using a sterile jug – the less oxygen in the barrel the longer it will last. The natural CO2 created by the beer should help to keep it in as best condition as can be expected from this situation.
If you have already started serving the beer then I would recommend that you try to sell it as best you can, take away carry kegs or even ask customers to bring their old 2l plastic bottles and provide a take away service, if you fill straight from the handpump without a sparkler it will be fine just make sure you fill to the brim so that it lasts longer for your customer – again less oxygen on the beer is key.
We really appreciate everyone’s business over the past few weeks and hope that this advice goes a little way in helping you through these difficult times.
Hopefully we will all get through this relatively unscathed. and we will see you on the other side.
