"Would you be able to give me any leads on how I can go about finding someone to set up a micro brewery in Southmead.
We have no funding, ideally we’d like it to be community owned….
Thanks,

Re: (Community) Micro brewery in Southmead
So I emailed and said a microbrewery would cost £££, need licensing, blah blah, and got this reply...
"Hi Roger,
The Southmead Development Trust is looking at ways of creating jobs for local people and a small brewery was one idea.
It would be great if there was someone who could mentor a few local people in starting a microbrewery, the practicalities of brewing as well as business planning.
A bit like young enterprise, but for unemployed adults.
Thanks,
Alex"
So there you go. I'm out. (wasn't in to start with!)

My qualifications exceed my name length by a fair margin, I'm just not vain enough to ever use them in a sig....
Further email, he's confident that they can obtain funding. So if anybody wants to mentor some people to set up a microbrewery then you know where to go.

Send him a link to pbc brewery design, the prices on there will put him off.RogerP wrote:My qualifications exceed my name length by a fair margin, I'm just not vain enough to ever use them in a sig....
