That's a wrap on a big week for us here at Lymestone Brewery.
Brad was away in Argentina with his Rugby mates and Andy was cruising in Norway! 🇦🇷🇳🇴
That left Hayden, Tom and I to man the fort. To say we were stretched thin would be an understatement! (Big thanks to John for helping out with a few deliveries!)
Highlights of this week were- we dismantled Trentham Rugby club's beer festival, set up Foxfield's beer festival, racked a few brews into casks, got the bar ready for a private tour, sent a few orders out of the door, I (Sarah) brewed for the first time in 6 years, while Hayden was needed elsewhere.
Towards the end of the week we got our gear together ahead of this year's Etruria Canal Fest taking place over this past weekend!
It has been a difficult yet rewarding week! 😀
I'll be honest, we've had a slow start to the year with trade, poor weather has been another factor impacting pub trade, therefore affecting our sales and we're simply not where we want to be compared to this time last year.
However, event season is starting to get going, with Stone Carnival taking place next weekend (we hope to see some of you there!)
If you've ordered from us over the phone or via our website this last week and you've not received your beer as quickly as usual, we want to thank you for your ongoing support and for bearing with us.
Soon the team will be reunited and business will resume as usual 🍻❤️
