Okay, has anyone seen Beer Geek beers about recently? Nothing on here since late 2013 nor on their Facebook or Twitter accounts. Their status on Company Check is ’in liquidation’. Looks like a goner to me.

Yeah I’d say it was gone, a few people I knew were supposed to be re-launching it about 18 months ago and not heard anything from them since.

A shame the branding was good but the beers were shocking.

They started well but terrible towards the end. I have placed them in Out of Business, final tidy up later.

OK: Broughs and All Nations update.

Went for a couple of afternoon halves to the All Nations and spoke to the owner. No brewing in the new/old plant at the moment, more equipment arriving in September. Expects Broughs to take on the kit soon after installation. However Broughs are still brewing at the old Springfield site but move to a factory unit still within Wolverhampton very soon to brew there.

So, no idea if Broughs will Cuckoo brew at The All Nations or operate fully out of there. I will keep my ears and eyes peeled.

<*))))))><




Taking this into account and the imminent start up at their new premises, looks like we should stick with the status quo at present, then give Broughs their new address as soon as we get it?

Allrighty, any Coventry based people out there? The Rainbow Inn Brewery in Allesley. We haven’t seen anything since early 2014, nothing beer wise on their Facebook or Twitter accounts. The pub is still popular but the beer list does not mention their own beers on Whatpub or Trip Advisor. I reckon they have stopped brewing or perhaps it is very intermittent. Anybody know?

Ok: as I said earlier, I will keep a look out and let you know once the water clears a bit.

Sadlers have moved breweries. Still in lye but over the road at this fancy place http://www.sadlersales.co.uk/index.php/sadlers-brewhouse/ definitely worth the trip and literally 10 seconds from lye train station. The Windsor castle is still open as a pub and restaurant too.
