Claret brewer sounds good.

Sell in any Sheffield outlets? Beer Central are good...

Happy to liaise, and / or help eith delivery if it's a bit far... ☺
Appreciate the offer of help. We've not made it to Sheffield yet but have spoken with Triple Point about doing a collaboration at some point but nothing has come of it yet. When we're all back together again on a match day I'll try and find a pub who'll put a cask on and we can have a chat.

Ideally refrigerated and about 3 or 4 days, I think.
I`m picking up some Pendleside kegs tomorrow so can get more details then

We're called Shadow Brewing, based over in Otley. We've had about a dozen one off beers and collaborations out to the public so far and most have gone down really well.

Keen to listen to advice if you have any!
Had a look at your twitter page and website, looks like you've got a good thing going on. I worked at moorhouses for 7 years doing packaging, delivering and brewing. Even worked in the lab. Left to go to a large multinational. One thing I saw at moorhouses is other breweries that tried to go too big too soon and failed.
Know what you're good at and play to your strengths.
I really like the micro pub model. For a small outlay you can get some good turnover. Also means you aren't tied into to traditional pub styles and themes

Appreciate that, thank you. Definitely want to go down the brewery tap route and actually looked round a place last week, but with social distancing rules couldn't make it work financially for a few months, and now someone else has put an offer in.

I suspect we'll be seeing fewer of these small breweries soon after the government change in small brewers relief (as pushed by a number of larger breweries).

The Curious Hop should still have some, or The Hoptimist in Guiseley. If not drop me a message and I'll sort some out for you. Contact details are on the website.
I sampled your beer while enjoying us beating Norwich on Friday. Ghost was the pick of the bunch, very nice- any plans brew another batch? the Brut was a bit on the strong side, couldn't manage many of those in a session!

Glad you enjoyed it. They'll definitely be more Ghost at some point. Ideally I'm trying to find a venue to put it on keg. It was a regular at The Stew and Oyster in Otley and was outselling Camden and Beavertown before it shut down.

Maybe try Andrew at the Barlick Tap? Think he was on about putting a couple of keg lines on
