Anyone want some free beer in Windsor tomorrow night?

Got a spare place alongside Wingmanwillis and myslef for the Knights Club members night at the Windsor & Eton brewery tomorrow evening.

It’s 7 - 9pm.

Drink as much as you want on me.

Usually 6 or 7 different beers on, plus they are launching their new ’craft’ arm tomorrow night, Uprising brewing.

We’ll be getting the train from Waterloo to Riverside, probably the 1728.

Can meet on train, at the spoons, or at the brewery.

Shout if you’re interested.

Isn’t it Paddy’s son doing the Uprising stuff?

Can’t make tommorow I’m afraid

Yeah thats right Chris, Kieran I think his name is, young lad with a beard and longish hair.

Drat, only just seen this. I hope you’re enjoying it!

How were the Uprising beers? And do they count as a separate Berkshire brewery that I need to track down?

It was just the one Uprising beer.



It was good, decent keg IPA, gave it a 3.6.



No hop bomb but well balanced and nice to sink a pint of, lots of juicy citrics going down.



I will add Uprising as a separate brewery, brewing at W&E.



Kieren did a little speech and it is very much his own gig, brewing less traditional and more American influenced beers when compared to W&E.

depends on the ownership, if entirely a subsidary is not listed separately just included within the main W&E page (a la Beerd or Brains Craft...)

I don’t think we need to get too hung up on ownership. Ownership is not always clear, or clear cut. It’s beyond our scope to get involved in investigation of corporate structures. I know W&E is far from being big multinational with all sorts of offshore fancy corporate footwork and the like, but things can still be less than straightforward.

Let’s say Uprising is a separate registered company. And let’s say the shareholders are Paddy (50%) and his son (50%). And let’s assume Paddy is the majority sharehoder of W&E. Does that mean that Uprising is "owned" by W&E. What about if the shareholding were 60% Paddy & 40% his son? In practice, we just wouldn’t want to spend the time looking into that sort of thing. Only a certain amount of registered company information is available online and free of charge anyway. And, if it were a separate business but not a registered company, there’s no public record to consult.

If it seems to be operated separately and is presented as such, that’s probably good enough for me.

What I know about Beerd is somewhere between zero and fuck all. Quaffale lists it separately FWIW.
