The Cheshire Brewhouse a Much Bigger Build than Bridestone

[EskiBrew]

I quite liked their two valleys IPA but was not keen on the other two brews.
I'd agree that Shane's brew was better than all three :thumb:

This has been an ace thread to read through! Well done on the build and all the best for getting your beer sold, hope it continues to take off :thumb:

 

[BrotherMalice]

Good to hear your getting sales UP, sounds like you are really getting there :)

 

[unclepumble]

Yes things seem to be going pretty well at the moment, not quite to plan but getting there, I am in Talks with two Pubs with a View to supplying them with a permanent beer full time, which will help me big time, I am also getting quite a bit of repeat business with the selection of pubs I have supplied so far.

I am a million miles away from where I would like to be but one small step at a time builds a business, I will say its also bloody hard work, & Sales is the hardest part of it.

Thanks for all your continued support guys, I have beer at Tamworth Beer Festival 6th-8th sept if any of you are in the vicinity, and should also have beer at York Beer Festival 19-22nd September if you get to try any please let me Know...

Cheers

Shane

I applaud you Shane on this endevour :clap: :clap:

Business is very hard at the moment, and trying to break into new markets is especially hard when buyers don't want to take any risks.

I set up my business 8 years ago, a big risk but I did have the advantage of having a few very good clients which I have built on, but times are tough and I have probably gone from my best ever year to my worst in a matter of 6 months because of the Euro fiasco.

If you are passionate about you product, listen to your customers (and potential customers), keep your overheads down you should be fine. :thumb:

Well Done :clap: :clap:

I was very pleased to find that both Cheshire Gap and Engine Vein were on at my village beer festival this weekend :clap:
Sadly for me though they sold out within hours so I was not able to try them

Well done Shane :clap: :clap:

 

[unclepumble]

Sorry not been on here for a while as I have been rather Busy of late.

Glad to hear they sold out of my beer quickly, not a bad thing

I'm hoping to get some more up that way soon, I have to speak to the bloke a the Navigation at Buxworth, he was interested in trying some beer. hopefully I can get some more in at the old hall too, will let you know when I get some more in your area.

Too be honest though I dont have much beer to sell at the moment, its going faster than I can make it, which cannot be a bad thing I suppose, just need to get doing it full time, (will be soon am going full time in november).

Its much harder work than I envisaged though, very rewarding but very very hard work getting everything to fall into place on time every time.

Although I sometimes stop in at the Navi if walking past along the canal, I don't drink there often. The Old Hall is my local and Dan the landlord is great. Since he took over they have won many awards (best cask pub in the East & West Midlands in the ‘Great British Pub Awards’ for the last three years running among others) so your beer is in good company

Best thing I ever did :thumb: :thumb:

+1 to that

Hard Times indeed, but it doesn't feel like the taxman is on Hard times, with the amount I am paying him each month, & I'm not even VAT registered yet.

I have some beers in Nottingham Beer Festival this week if any of you are visiting give em a try and let me know what you think....
