Crikey, somewhat explains my refund experience then. I feel like I did alright getting my £170 refund back after just 4 months
They don't have the same directors. BrewUK has one director, Tanya Hughes. Dark Revolution has two, Greg and Sarah Hughes."so I went back to companies house to check my suspicions. AND GUESS WHAT! Both Brew UK and Dark Revolution Brewery have the SAME DIRECTORS"

Has this company gone bust!
I was trying to place a brew order as people had given me gift vouchers.
Website DOWN, Shop CLOSED and Phone no says "you have dialled an incorrect number".
Companies house says that they are still active, so I googled reviews and found a couple of interesting ones.
Next stop I thought I would contact local businesses near the Sarum business park. The obvious one was Dark Revolution Brewery which is in the same industry. I rang and was told by the man answering that Brew UK was nothing to do with them and he knew nothing. This seemed a bit odd to me, so I went back to companies house to check my suspicions. AND GUESS WHAT! Both Brew UK and Dark Revolution Brewery have the SAME DIRECTORS!
Draw your own conclusions, but I've already told the people who gifted me to talk to their credit card companies and start Section 75 claims to get their money back.
Not impressed at al!!!
One indication of the damage done to their business was the level of activity in the BUK forums, which, whilst not as busy as say here, was plenty busy enough in 2019 and early 2020, but dropped off a cliff post covid and didnt even bounce. The forum literally died overnight in the summer of 2020.
What would Steve gain from posting that if its not true?They don't have the same directors. BrewUK has one director, Tanya Hughes. Dark Revolution has two, Greg and Sarah Hughes.
No idea, you'd have to ask him. But it isn't true, it only takes two minutes to check on the Companies House website.What would Steve gain from posting that if its not true?
Not clear whether the charge is a divorce
"BrewUK was founded in 2008 by husband and wife team, Greg and Tanya Hughes."
Greg, 48, is from London and has lived in Salisbury for the last two decades. He runs Dark Revolution Brewery with wife Sarah.
It's what we do bestI'm loving the forensic analysis of the company accounts going on for a homebrew supplier.

I ordered a part for my Braumeister back in January. No confirmation email but could see my order when I logged into their website, they also took the money from my card. A week or two went by so I emailed them, no reply (apart from the automated crap). So phoned a few times (answerphone), but eventually got to speak to a human. He couldn’t tell me why I didn’t receive an order confirmation or why no one replied to my support request email. He couldn’t give me a definite delivery date as the part was coming from Germany, fair enough. End of February, emailed for an order update, no reply. This week, I thought I would ring, website down for maintenance and just voicemail on the phone. Hope they haven’t gone belly up but if I was a betting man..............
They were the best source for Braumeister spare parts that I know of, so it’s very disappointing they’re not trading. I lost the malt pipe wing nut before Xmas and it was easy to go on the website and get a new one for about £2.50. Vigo do a few things but not many.I ordered a part for my Braumeister back in January.

Website is now 404 not found and google says Temporarily closed.
Try Get Er Brewed in NI – they are also resellers for Speidel and have a much better customer-centric ethos than BrewUK ever did.They were the best source for Braumeister spare parts that I know of, so it’s very disappointing they’re not trading.
