You’re in Glasgow why not buy the company.

My go-to for hard to get hops. Just put an order in wonder if I have time for another one?
I doubt they were making much out of their enterprise otherwise it would be up for sale, not just closing the doors.

They open to selling the business.

I'd be very surprised if this excellent business was not taken over.

Fingers crossed. I'd be very tempted!

That’s what they say. If anyone fancies taking over Crossmyloof Brew, processing 2 tonnes of hops, countless yeast packs, and hundreds of grain recipe kits for over 11,000 orders annually, let us know!
I can't see it being worth anything.

How do you know it is excellent?
My guess is they are selling because it is a lot of hard graft for a minimal return. Packing, repacking, packing and posting low margin items?
Maybe a cottage industry that got out of hand, but couldn't grow.

It is a shame but I don't think it's the sort of thing you could organise as a collective/community operation.

I too will really miss them.

They recently moved from Crossmyloof to another part of Glasgow because I assume their volume of orders increased. I agree the workload vs margins are going to unsustainable long term.

Hi Mashbag, they are an excellent business from a customer pov, and that seems to be the unanimous view of this thread.

I certainly have no insight into their books, but as a customer I've always felt they could charge us brewers a little more.

Plenty of people on this thread seem to have an insight into their books, given the messages about profit margins, profitability etc etc

No only our Aussie friend but I think he’s probably right l
