Richmond Brewing Company Limited is a new venture being set up by two experienced head brewers. Situated in ‘The Station’, a new tourist attraction in Richmond, the company will provide first class ales in bottle and cask to businesses in The Station complex, to businesses in Richmond and the Yorkshire area.
It is anticipated that production will commence from the new 6 barrel brew length plant towards the end of April.
Key initial products for Richmond Brewing Company Limited will be the production of a Richmond Station Ale and a Stump Cross Ale; other seasonal products will feature in the future.
The venture is an exciting one for Andy Hamilton and Richard Bowerman who are looking forward to producing high quality, tasty ales that can be enjoyed by both the occasional drinker and by the real ale aficionado!
Andy Hamilton has a wealth of production experience in the brewing industry in a career spanning 28 years with Tennents, Ruddles, Websters, John Smiths, Theakstons and Newcastle Brown in a number of breweries across the United Kingdom. In addition he has managed a public house and understands the retail side of the industry.
Richard Bowerman has more than 16 years brewing experience with Websters, Courage, John Smiths, Theakstons and Newcastle Brown. Three years ago Richard purchased the Stump Cross Caverns in Yorkshire, one of the region’s foremost tourist attractions and continues to develop his business career.
