Might also mean more locally produced (direct delivered) beer in your local micro-pub.

And / or more tap takeovers to help spread increased delivery costs perhaps?

RunawayBrewery.bsky.social @runawaybrewery.bsky.social · 3h

We understand UPS & DHL will no longer ship 30L kegs throughout the UK.

Eebria & Sellar Shipping, two of the most used routes to market for small beer have been unable to secure viable alternatives.

As a result expect to see more 20L kegs being packaged (35pints) & price rises at small indie bars?

Looking forward to the arrival of this Green Hop Bitter from @runawaybrewery.bsky.social and @trackbrewingco.bsky.social featuring Fuggles, Prima Donna and Hersbrucker hops grown and harvested in Manchester of all places!

A bumper harvest this year, by all accounts.

Large trugs full of bright green hops lined up on a white tiled brewery floor, stainless steel equipment can be seen

Pump badge, cream coloured, light blue and green lines, Runaway and Track logos, and that of the Manchester hopped project. Green hopped bitter, 3.8%

Anyone know of a livestock Farmer local to Stockport who might be interested in a relatively small amount of spent grain on the regular, please do put them in touch.

Cheers!

Knocked up a few spiced, fruit & herb syrups to accompany Berliner Weisse at this weekends' #Stocktoberfest here at the taproom.

Any guesses what's in them?

Collaboration in beer is an often abused term, but it really can be a wonderful thing.

It often provides we brewers with the opportunity (or just an excuse?) to try something new, or experiment down roads less trodden.

Here are just some of the beers we're pouring at this weekends' #Stocktoberfest

On the common ground between cask beer and sparkling wine by the boss @rachelhendry.bsky.social for @camraofficial.bsky.social. Bunch of illustrations on a super interesting comparison: learn.camra.org.uk/courses/comm...

Sorry to be right about this. No GBBF next year as it made “a substantial loss”, according to CAMRA

Will Hawkes @willhawkes.bsky.social · Aug 5

Is the Great British Beer Festival still a going concern? I’m not sure. It’ll need more customers later in the week …

The entrance to the GBBF today at 6.15pm. There are no customers

In February 2024 I visited French & Jupps, the UKs oldest existing maltster, and roasted malt specialist. I’d never heard of them before, despite them being in operation since 1689. It’s story fascinated me, so I wrote it for @pelliclemag.com here:
