Hello beer fans, and a happy New Year to you all :)
You may be aware that we've been a bit quiet recently, and we know that the rumours are flying, but we thought we'd let everyone know that the talk of our demise has been greatly exaggerated! We've had some mechanical issues (the burner has packed up, not surprising as the old girl is at least 35 years old!), so we've been looking at potential repair/replacements, which itself has raised a whole host of logistical issues (grade 2 listed buildings come with their own problems!), but we can now confirm that repairs are on the cards, fingers crossed we should be back up and running by the end of Jan, maybe early Feb (there's a lot of engineering works to be done). Then we'll be brewing like maniacs to get fully stocked again, so it should be business as usual from March. We do have Brunswick beer stocked in our two pubs, the Brunswick Inn and the Dead Poets, but to make sure we don't run dry we are cutting down the free-trade till we're good to go. Thanks for all your patience, Derby's oldest brewery will be back firing on all cylinders soon. If anyone has any questions feel free to email us at [email protected] and we'll get back to you asap.
Cheers :)
