ClaretBrewer

After 20 years or so I finally got myself my dream car (AC Cobra contination), but 2 weeks in managed to have a bit of an accident and now she needs a new shell. The garage who built her years ago still exist and have agreed to repair, but I need somewhere near Grantham to store it from when I deliv...

To be fair presumably they aren’t making that in profit though are they. Very significantly less if at all after paying for overheads: staff, rent, taxes, energy, sky, etc etc? Oh yeah absolutely. Sadly a huge chunk will go in all those things which means they can't be re-invested in the industry.

Who do you brew for claretbrewer ?

I run a place called Shadow Brewing in Otley.

ClaretBrewer

As a brewery we currently sell a 72 pint cask of 3.6% Pale Ale for around £85 plus VAT, which used to give us about £20 profit. So your pubs are buying for roughly £1.42 per pint. This obviously varies on type of beer, strength etc. as this might mean more duty is paid. Any bar charging you £6 is th...

Not I, Brewer. What's this rumour...pray tell?

Hope you're well.

Interesting! I was told someone popped in while his other half was at the dentist to check us out for a Burnley fans meeting. Apologies for my incorrect assumption!

Bumped into a mutual friend last week I believe. He mentioned that he knew the proprietor of that bar, so when I enquired if it was a Burnley fan he confirmed. Goes by the name of Mr Shelley?!

Tom? Top lad is Tom.

Rumour has it you were seen scouting out a potential new venue very near me in Otley...

Hi burnleybassman, if you're Otley based pop in and see us at Shadow Brewing on Boroughgate, always happy to talk football with fellow Clarets.

I worked for LBA. Worst job I've had. Don't know about now but at the time they were losing a lot of money and Jet2 could do pretty much what they wanted as without them they were in massive trouble.

It's a real struggle for a lot of breweries and pubs at the moment. We're on course to break even for January but I know of much bigger places who are getting single figures of customers some days.

Looks like there's a crowdfunder to help out...

Shadow Brewing, Boroughgate in Otley.

You'll need a pint after running up there.

I used to live on High Royds before the wife and kids came along and we needed somewhere bigger.

I have an Audi E-tron. Lovely to drive and gradually getting over my range anxiety, it'll do about 170 miles on a charge now its a bit warmer, was about 112 in winter with the heating on and charged to the recommended 80%. There's definitely better options for range but I'm really happy with mine (o...

I don't claim to know much about the youth leagues but it seems that to even be talking about the play-offs is a remarkable achievement for a first season at this level and following the reported mismanagement at youth level over the past few years. I'm not sure winning this league is that important...

If I ever have a vacancy for a mate, I might ask Ben Mee to apply, seems like a good bloke.

Football could learn a lot from hockey... Rolling subs except at certain set pieces, a green card as a warning and a yellow for a sin bin, then red for example.

Any advice for someone looking to set up a micropub / bottle shop near a football ground in Sheffield? (Sshhh, it's me...and I need help!)
PM me maybe, or email?

Drop me an email if I can help at all. hello@shadowbrewing.co.uk

Ye we will look to have a line or real however we will be starting to gut the place on Monday so at this stage I wouldn’t know exact details on products etc until nearer the time we are due to open. Fingers crossed it will be for the last game of the season so we can all have a pint and before the ...

The company I work for provides credit for things like furniture and bathrooms. In lockdown 1 advances dropped dramatically but in lockdown 3 we're not far off budget. More shops are open and employees are demanding more of their staff. Add to that home schooling and my days are basically work 9-5, ...

I was at Lancaster and Morecambe, we’ve played you a fair few times in play offs and league. My last appearance was at yours but playing against Leeds. You still playing?

Yeah still get about 10 games as season in, although this year with potentially no visits to the Turf I'll double that!

Glad you enjoyed it. They'll definitely be more Ghost at some point. Ideally I'm trying to find a venue to put it on keg. It was a regular at The Stew and Oyster in Otley and was outselling Camden and Beavertown before it shut down.

Lets imagine Covid-19 hadn't happened and we'd just lost our first game in 8 against a Manchester City team who we'd never expect to get a good result against anyway, and decided to bring some of the younger players into the match day squad for the last few games of the season as we're safe from rel...

Had a look at your twitter page and website, looks like you've got a good thing going on. I worked at moorhouses for 7 years doing packaging, delivering and brewing. Even worked in the lab. Left to go to a large multinational. One thing I saw at moorhouses is other breweries that tried to go too bi...

I'll certainly get hold of some, one way or another.

Just out of interest, what sort of costs are involved in setting up and how did you learn the processes etc?

Send me an email on hello at shadowbrewing .co .uk and I'll give you some details.

Who stocks your beer? My mum and dad live in Otley, I'll send them round to pick some up for me.

The Curious Hop should still have some, or The Hoptimist in Guiseley. If not drop me a message and I'll sort some out for you. Contact details are on the website.

I set up my own microbrewery last year. My latest release (a 6.5% Brut IPA) costs me £2.58 per 440ml can to make. Some good beers in the posts above but these offers are basically forcing the little guys out of the market.
