Brew Pub Opportunity - Microbrewery

Are you looking for a brew pub?  This could be the ideal way of running your own pub and brewery by taking over an existing business resulting from a retirement sale.   In the brewers own words:

Hi, I'm Andy Pickering, I own and operate the oldest brewpub combining the second oldest brewery in South Yorkshire based near Doncaster.

I have run the place for 30 years and on reaching 60, I have decided to semi-retire.

I am freehold so I could sell the equipment and premises but would prefer to see someone else carry it on if that were feasible. 

I wouldn't be looking for a prohibitive rent ( if that were to be a better option than sale) as I appreciate the difficulties faced, but for fresh people with new ideas I am convinced there is an opportunity  superior to the usual model of renting premises on an industrial estate, investing heavily in equipment and six months down the line looking desperately for an outlet, we have them all rolled into one.  There would need to be some changes to bring things to a more modern spec, I would assume there would be scope for profitable benefits all round.

If you are interested in a chat. please drop me a line.  I can best be contacted on the current email address:

Microbrewery set up courses

Beer Brewing Course - BRISTOL (Brew-School goes on tour)

Beer brewing we all know is the new rock'n'roll.  Brew-School is now taking it's acclaimed all grain beer brewing courses to Bristol in the West Country and going on tour in September away from it's Bakewell HQ for the first time.

Beer brewing course with the same winning formula

 The course still consists of the same top selling course teaching you to brew using the all grain ingredients and with our expert brewing tutors, in this case Tom Newman who heralds originally from the West Country and now owns and runs Lines Brew Co based in Wales.

The artistry of brewing

Beer brewing involves an understanding of your brewing equipment and understanding of the artistry of the brewing process and the ability to think outside the box and create your own unique beers.  Then there's the drinking of all those fabulous beers...is it possible to get more rock'n'roll than that!

Brew-School

Portugal's largest craft beer brewery

One of the great things about running Brew-School apart from meeting lots of interesting and lovely brewers is that you get an opportunity to inspire and inform some fantastic new brewing businesses.  Take for instance Portugal's newest and biggest craft beer brewery located in the Portuguese capital Lisbon called MUSA.  I've included an image to their new brewery looking very shiny and new.

I'm sure this brewery will help put craft brewing on the map in Portugal which has no real history of craft beer production and has like many countries had to rely on pretty moribund beer from a couple of massive mainstream breweries.   Paulo who came on our course back in October 2015 in his own words:

Dear Julie and Chris,

It has elapsed more than one year since I attended your fantastic courses. They were key for my beer project. Thank you!

After several months of hard work we managed to get our new and shiny brewery ready for firing up. Please find attached a high resolution photo of our brewery in Lisbon ready to start brewing. Please let me know if you ever visit Lisbon. It will be nice to invite you for a freshly brewed beer directly from the tanks. Paulo

 So if you do ever find yourself in Lisbon the brewery is located on:
Rua do Açucar, 83 in the "arts neighborhood" of Marvila in Lisbon
