Spring Update

A quick blog just to update people on happenings at mBt. We've had a really busy start to the year, the 52 week beer club is getting new members daily and we're shipping mixed cases as fast as we can pack them. The last two quarters of the 52wbc have needed re-orders from breweries due to us underestimating demand.

We're continuing to sign up great breweries; amongst others we're now listing beers from Acorn, Crown, Fyne Ales, Williams Bros and Thornbridge who all make award winning, brilliant beer and are really great additions to the site. We've got more great breweries committed to coming on the site and we're approaching new breweries all the time so make sure you're following my Twitter feed or our Facebook page to get the latest news.

The last month has also seen us help Thornbridge launch their hotly anticipated new bottle conditioned beers St Petersburg and Halcyon 09 both incredible beers causing quite a stir in beery circles and which have been blogged and tweeted about plenty. The Halcyon 09 in particular is selling fast and is a limited edition so if you want some you need to be fairly quick.

The new bottle conditioned Jaipur should also be ready to ship shortly, meaning people will be able to get even closer to the intended draught flavour of Thornbridges iconic beer.

In recent weeks we've added beers from two of my favourite breweries, the first is Mallinsons a local brewery who have a dedicated following in the area for their light, hoppy flavourful beers. They're a relatively new outfit and a great advert for the new wave of brewing in the UK. Their beers always sell out first at the local festivals in West Yorkshire and are always worth trying.
We are listing 3 of their regulars beers as well as their Grand Canyon pale/summer ale.

The other brewery we're now listing is just about my all time favourite UK brewery, Marble. I met Dominic one of the brewers recently and was really pleased and flattered to find out he knew about myBrewerytap and was keen to get their beers on the site. Marble are a fantastic brewery who originate out of the Marble Arch pub in Manchester, they brew a delicious range of beers covering a mix of styles and abv's. They're a dedicated bunch and have a real commitment to quality and flavour and their beers are never dull or run of the mill. They're also very good at understated but classic branding and packaging.

The Marble Arch pub itself is a quirky grade 2 listed building complete with sloping floors and vaulted ceilings, the food there is also brilliant. If you ever get chance to visit you really should, Its one of the only "real ale" pubs I visit regularly which my wife is also more than happy to visit, which is praise indeed.

On the "brewing project", I'm hoping to expand my knowledge with some more hands on brewing experience soon and we (me and a couple of friends) are still discussing and planning the best way to go about getting into brewing ourselves. We've lots to discuss!
