Peterborough brewers

[Higgbot1970]

Are there any brewers on here in the Peterborough area? I'm wondering if anyone knows what happened with burley home brew shop?

 

[Jim Brewster]

No but I've used Cambridge homebrew shop a couple of times, bit of a trek from Peterborough though of course.

I'm not sure about their physical shop as I haven't visited them since lockdown, but their website appears to be working.

Can you order for delivery on the website. I've only ever been to the shop and I went a couple of weeks ago and the people opposite said the guy had gone and it was now a sort of second hand shop. It was good to have someone to talk to about brewing

I've just followed a link from their website to their TwitFace page and it does appear that they have closed :-(

Considering there are no updates on either page from the management, I would not consider it safe to place an order with them.

I did enjoy my chats with Richard but then I'm as guilty as most for shopping online for the increased choice, rather than supporting my local shop. That mentality probably explains the current state of our highstreets.

Thanks mate. Are you from Pboro? Is there any kind of brewers group? There's always seemed to be a strong crowd at the beerfest and there are a few pubs both crafty and real ale

Sorry Jim,thanks for your response. Hey its not as bad now they've sorted the a14

I'm in Market Deeping, so not too far from Pboro.

I haven't heard about any local brewing clubs, but then I'm married so socialising is a thing of the past :-)

I've got people in Deeping. How long have you been brewing? What's your setup? If you don't mind me asking

I've been brewing on and off for about 30 years. Setup is pretty basic with 2 buckets for doing kits.
