Just seen these two Newcastle breweries.

Box and Box Social

http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/box/23466/

http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/box-social-brewing/23947/

Seems like a duplicate, as they both have the same address, however the box social website dosen’t reference the beers from box. But on certainly the same on untappd.

Should they be combined under the Box Social entry.

What a coincidence - I was just typing in my Peterborough backlog, and I noticed this same thing, and came to the same conclusion (that there was confusion). For reference, the address has a typo, it’s Winnings, not Winning.

These are advertising on the back of this month’s "Cheers". That’s a free beer and pub industry magazine we get here in the North East - I’m unsure if it’s available elsewhere.

If you look at the brewery’s Twitter feed the other beers are mentioned. The two definitely need to be combined as "Box Social".

I’m not sure if that will display here as I don’t know how to add an image to these forums but if you look at the pump clip you can see where the confusion lies. The word "box" is very prominent with "social" less so.

For anyone in the North East who might be interested I found out tonight that the Box Social Brewery are having an open event/festival on 24-27th of this month (1PM-11PM each day) with beer tasting, brewery tours, live music, food etc. I’m going to try and get there and check out their operations.
