Launched as a hobby business in April 2018, this brewery has quickly demonstrated significant growth potential, even while operating part-time.
With all subsequent investments funded entirely through profits, the brewery has generated £104,000 in revenue over the past 5.5 years, despite challenges like the COVID-19 lockdowns.
The brewery boasts a strong customer base, brand recognition, and a diverse range of 12 core beers, including popular seasonal and commemorative brews. Sales channels include pubs, bottle shops, and a successful web shop, with additional revenue from food festivals, markets, and a branded pop-up bar.
Highlights include participation in local and national beer festivals, culminating in an invitation to the CAMRA Great British Beer Festival.
The business features top-tier branding and a highly functional, modern website, valued at £25,000.
The current directors are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for the new owner, offering guidance through initial operations and ongoing support for the first year.
With the right strategy, this brewery is poised to scale from a part-time venture into a highly profitable enterprise.
The brewery's assets are currently valued at £41,550.
The brewery is fully outfitted with cask and keg capabilities, offering options for polykegs and 1-way kegs. Key equipment includes a 5 BBL (800L) stainless steel brew kit from Oban Ales, featuring 2 loose lid fermenters, a conical Unitank, and related equipment. A complete equipment list is available upon request. Sales grew from 60 per month 2018-19 to 90-100per month 2021-22 after covid lockdowns. Since then they've added an extra fermentation vessel so capacity is now at 140 casks/ kegs per month.
Even with part-time management, the business has consistently generated enough income to provide the owners with a monthly wage while funding all equipment upgrades and expansions through profits.
This brewery is ripe for expansion, with considerable room to increase production and profitability.
The business has not yet reached its full capacity, and the existing customer base and brand loyalty provide a strong foundation for future growth.
By resuming full-time operations, increasing production, and expanding marketing efforts, the brewery could significantly boost sales.
Additionally, the business’s flexibility in offering both cask and keg options positions it well to meet diverse market demands.
