@freedombrewery was established in Fulham during 1995 and soon became a pioneer of premium craft lager brewing in the UK.

In 2004, Freedom moved to their current residence in the heart of rural Staffordshire near the world famous brewing town of Burton-On-Trent.

Here, they were able to draw spring water from their very own borehole, blending innovation with tradition. The team were determined to make a better beer; fully conditioned, naturally carbonated, unpasteurised, filtered, consistent, balanced and ultimately brilliant!

We can supply you with their range of outstanding bottled beers plus their canned lager AND their superb 3 bottle gift box!

Michael Wiper started @wiperandtrue in 2011, born from his fascination with brewing and endless experimentation and learning, enabled in part by nomadically brewing at different breweries across the UK.

They’ve since put down roots and have become a leading light in Bristol’s craft brewing community and are renowned for their exceptional beers. They are constantly innovating and striving for the perfect pour!

We offer their superb range of core beers and the odd special release too! For more information, contact us or request our price list.

After identifying a lack of choice in low and zero-alcohol beers, founder Rob Fink established @bigdropbrewco with James Kindred in 2016, a brewery exclusively dedicated to making the finest <0.5% ABV beer.

To create a zero-alcohol beer, the beer is brewed according to traditional techniques, with two key differences: less grain is used so that the yeast converts less of it to alcohol, and the yeast strain used is less efficient at the process.

Big Drop is at the forefront of low/no alcohol beer innovation, and they have won numerous beer competition awards and critical acclaim from seasoned beer writers and critics.

@burkesbeers

It was growing up in a London pub that gave Sam Burke the taste for creating her own beers.

Based in the idyllic Cotswold village of Blockley, Sam set up a microbrewery in 2017, starting with two beers: Blockley Blonde, a superb golden ale, and Shin Kickers, a moreish and refreshing pale ale. These were soon followed by Red Peg, a delicious Irish Red Ale.

Sam’s focus is on local produce, and to craft an exceptional core range of beers made with skill, love, and care.

All the ingredients used in her beers including the malts, hops, yeast and even the bottles are British, and the first two beers’ have connections with the Cotswolds.

In her brewery, Sam brews, bottles, and labels everything by hand.
Each beer is brewed as traditionally and naturally as possible.

They are bottle conditioned, unfined and unfiltered and are made with sustainability in mind (all spent grain goes to a local farm and the hops are composted).

Sustainability and brewing with a conscience are at the heart of what @purityale do!

In recent years, the brewery has made significant strides in their efforts to operate in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way.

The brewery uses the latest heat exchange and steam recapture technology to reduce energy consumption and all spent grain goes to the Longhorn Cattle on the farm. Spent yeast goes to the local pigs and the used hops are used as fertiliser on the farm.

Water waste is recycled using a natural wetland system and they have created a unique and thriving ecosystem to ensure that pure water is going back into the water supply.

All canning of Purity beer is done on site using their own canning line which has reduced beer miles and fuel usage.

The brewery has won multiple sustainability awards and they continue to work hard on their regeneration and sustainability efforts.

@thehivecrowthorne

“We are an independent craft beer and coffee shop whose journey started in December of last year.

We now stock over 300 small batch beers from all over the country and 6 constantly changing taps where we can highlight up and coming microbreweries. Our range also includes Gin, Rum and Wine, and you can also enjoy a cheeky cheeseboard to compliment your drinks!

We work with The Craft Drinks Co because it allows us to connect with smaller independent suppliers that do not have a scalable distribution. It is also a bonus to have someone else highlighting new and unique craft suppliers!”

Founded by three budding entrepreneurs, @shandy.shack was founded in 2018 with the aim to create a drink that would help consumers reduce their alcohol intake without compromising on flavour and quality.

Putting a new spin on an old classic, Ed, Tom & Freddie found that shandy was the perfect answer for those that love drinking but hate the hangovers!

After months of experimentation, they found their perfect pairing, using high-quality beers and natural sodas to produce exceptional flavour profiles. Discover their delicious IPA Shandy and Elderflower Lager Top, both of which come in 33cl cans and bottles! Vegan and Gluten Free too!

@tapsocialmovement was founded in 2016 by a small group of young professionals from a range of backgrounds across both the criminal justice system and hospitality sector.

Tap Social have now worked alongside dozens of ex-offenders to brew great beer for a very broad and loyal audience.

Their entire range is exceptional in quality and their vibrant branding provides fantastic shelf shout!
