An update from Tractor Shed 🍺
We wanted to share an important update with our Tractor Shed community.
Since acquiring the Tractor Shed brand back in April, our aim has always been to make the transition to new ownership feel as seamless as possible, with minimal impact on the beers you know and love.
Over time, however, it’s become clear that with too many product lines across the business, we’ve had to make some difficult decisions to ensure we can continue brewing great beer sustainably and to the standard we’re proud of.
As a result, we’ve made the tough decision to discontinue the Tractor Shed range of beers.
Once the remaining stock in our brewery shop is gone, that will be the final availability. To say thank you and help clear the final stock, we’re now offering the last cases to the public at wholesale prices.
The good news is that Whistling Pig Pilsner is here to stay! It will continue in keg and will be rebranded under the Crooked River name, with 440ml cans launching in the new year.
Looking ahead, 2026 marks an exciting new chapter. While Tractor Shed bottles will be coming to an end, we’ll be evolving the brewery’s identity as Crooked River, with a focus on:
- Bigger and better events
- New projects we can’t wait to share
- And continuing to brew award-winning beer
We’re incredibly proud that our Crooked River Lager and Pacific Ale recently won Gold at the North West SIBA Awards, with our West Coast IPA taking Bronze — and we’re excited to build on that momentum as we head toward the national awards next year.
We know this change may be disappointing for some, and we genuinely appreciate your support and understanding. Tractor Shed has been an important part of our journey, and we’re excited about what’s next as the brewery continues to evolve.
Thank you for being part of it — we hope you’ll join us as Crooked River continues to grow. 🍻
