Sad news. James showed me round a couple of years ago. A character but clearly very passionate about what they do.
Very sorry to hear of the passing of James Fawcett of Thomas Fawcett & Sons. He and the company always had a lot of time for what we do and a supporter from early on. I was fortunate to visit them with John Keeling when he was with Fuller’s and learned a great deal. RIP.

Don’t think they were ever the same again after they were re-acquired which is a real shame. Really wanted them to come back again and relive those old Cannonball Runs! Wonder if anyone has the original recipes and could revive something similar? 🤔
Sorry to read this about Magic Rock brewery.

Come on then, who’s attempting Dry January? If so, which breweries are you turning to? Which beers have you tried before that you’d recommend either in draught or small pack?

I guess the fact that the first like on this post was a fake porn account kinda tells me where X is at right now…
Good evening, remaining folks of X. I’m looking for information on breweries that exclusively cuckoo brew, have their beers cuckoo brewed or are regularly brewing beer for other companies for a potential upcoming article. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated 👍🍺

Jaipur Noir. Every bit as delicious as you’d expect it would be! Now to try some of the Union releases…

I can confirm that a west coast California common beer is extremely tasty on cask! Lovely stuff today from the @LostCauseBrew open day. Now, did someone say Jaipur Noir? 🤔

They’re also going to have a California Common. On cask. You can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be there!

So this isn’t a penalty, yet one in United game is? And people say VAR is making the game better 😂🤡
Should Nottingham Forest have had a penalty for this? 🤔

Just been made aware of this. Only stocked their beer recently and had a rather nice can over the weekend of theirs too.

I see that @NMBCo are looking to expand their brewing capacity by circa 20% following a £500k investment. It’s nice to see some positive news on the brewing scene for a change. No indication of the investment source from what I’ve seen, but maybe more private equity?

Are we going to start serving cask over the summer as a trial with a view to make it permanent? You’re damn right we are! Looking forward to serving some tasty cask pints VERY soon…

I see Neon Raptor are pulling their products from Eebria over payment issues. Unsurprising and I wonder how many more will be the same.

From their post, it seems claims can be made to retrieve lost funds however forms need to be filled and the process can take up to 8 weeks. There is also no guarantee of payment at the end of it.

Hearing this morning that Beer52 are entering the distribution market with an acquisition of Eebria who entered into administration of last night/early hours of this morning.

Anyone in the industry will know that Eebria is a massive route to market for many brewers and a great marketplace to buy for pubs, bars and other venues. I do wonder what the reception to this takeover will be regarding thoughts towards the subscription service they run.

Keeping Eebria afloat is a big move and probably a vital one for the industry though given how many brewers will rely on their reach and shopfront. It just shows (again) how fragile our beer industry still is though…
