Wow, really? Good! Where did you do your learning?

At the Outstanding Beer Company in Salford. It's primarily a keg plant with a 16BBL and a 4BBL system in place. All it's business is in central Manchester. It also incorporates PBC installations on site so the knowledge is amazing.

Really enjoying the course so far. Also going to take a trip up to Cloudwater and over to Mallinsons in Huddersfield to get some more on site experience.

Is this available in supermarkets, never heard off it before.
Normally Brewdog for me if I'm having a beer at home.

Nope, Deya don't stock supermarkets. They're in high demand so your best bet is online stores like Hoptimism, Beer Revolution etc. I rarely buy my beer from anyone but specialists.

Wow. Cloudwater are nailing it right now. I've drank in their tap room and got some of their recent apple pie beer straight from the FV. Their recently ended DIPA range has been taking the UK by storm. They recently got 5th in the RateBeer brewery of the year. Amazing for such a young brewery.

That's why I want to pay a visit. For a very young team they're acting in an absolutely fearless manner. I'm not sure where they're getting the funding from though?? Certainly a bolder venture than I'm looking at!!

They're running on a tight profit margin by all accounts as they really establish themselves. Their DIPA range was barely making anything apparently.

Not surprising considering the inherent costs of DIPA's. They're using some seriously expensive hops, in considerable quantities. I'm not sure who's supplying them and how they've managed to get hold of so much considering that the likes of Citra, Amarillo and Mosaic are like gold dust if you haven't been in the industry for over 10 years. They must be paying a fortune out!!!

Sampled a few pints of Swannay Running Beer last night in the local. Very impressed. Bit too far to go to visit the brewery though :cheers:
