| Beer
Duty |

Don't talk to me about HMRC and Beer Duty unless you
want to get a real earful. The Government
continues to try to tax us out of business.
I'm not sure how many of you know this, but Beer
Duty in the UK increases with the percentage of
alcohol, so a 3.75% beer is half the duty of a 7.5%
beer. And those rates have gone up over 40%
since we started in business... In the infinite
wisdom of this government they've decided to add
EVEN MORE tax for beers 7.5% and above. This
is supposed to target the Special Brew binge
drinker, but the real effect is in stifling
innovation even more in British brewing.

While Britain has only 12% of the EU population and 13% of total
beer consumption, the UK Beer Tax bill has now reached £3.2b a
year - that is 40% of the EU Beer Tax Bill. |

| The Hop
Harvest Open day may be a distant memory, but you
can now taste the results. It's tasting good,
so get it while it lasts.
For this years brew we used the same malt bill
and yeast that we use for our
69 IPA, with the only difference being that we
used the hops that we (and some of our customers)
grew... |

She chose to highlight our Sour Grapes in her
chapter on sour beer...this beer is part of a very
special project working its magic in Pinot Noir
casks in our cellar and I PROMISE it will get
bottled soon.
One keg did make it out of the
brewery earlier this week for the launch party where it was a serious
hit, blowing away everyone who tried it including
Oz Clarke (who I
must say is a true gentleman)... |
