We are beyond proud of our brewer, @ThornbridgeDom, for winning Brewer Of The Year at @Britbeerwriters Awards 2024.

Well done, Dom, to you and the whole brewing team! 🥳

@tabamatu Oh awesome was wondering if it’d be SIBA. Well done mate!

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

Newcastle and back in a day for a 30 minute TV interview about @indiebeeruk. I’m nothing if not dedicated to the cause

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

@BeerPrimeUK @ColinStronge @LostCauseBrew @SIBANational @indiebeeruk Really hope this was recorded after we sorted out your listing @ColinStronge 😘

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

Been such a busy day this hasn’t quite sunk in! Will be opening a beer this evening in celebration🍺 ✍️ 🏆

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

Absolutely delighted my piece on @joulesbrewery for @pelliclemag has been shortlisted in the @Britbeerwriters Awards for ‘Best Communication About Pubs’

@PhilH23 @drinksmaven @teamdb @Solebear @burningskybeer @gillyinthepub @FirestoneWalker @MarkCTranter @SIBANational @AnspachHobday @CAMRA_Official No, because it’s a glass specifically made for beer.

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

@PhilH23 @drinksmaven @teamdb @Solebear @burningskybeer @gillyinthepub @FirestoneWalker @MarkCTranter @SIBANational @AnspachHobday @CAMRA_Official That’s not a wine glass

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

@RoostersTom @TheFreeTradeInn @indiebeeruk Yeah think so. Such a good day

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

Funny how things come full circle. Just discussing meeting over a decade ago at #Twissup with Mick from @TheFreeTradeInn, after arranging to do an ITV interview there next week on the @indiebeeruk campaign.

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

This news tops off what has been a huge launch week for the @indiebeeruk campaign, building on the lobbying work happening behind the scenes. The detail and scope of the review will be important, but this is a hugely positive step forward.

SIBA's statement in response to news the Chancellor will provide a 'beer industry boost' in her upcoming Budget, with review of market access for independent brewers expected; https://t.co/IvHyo9pC8K

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

Superb piece in today’s @guardian by @katiematherkm on the ‘corporate takeover of craft beer’ and how the @indiebeeruk campaign is seeking to level the playing field https://t.co/vS73YZEViN

@DonnyBrewery @totalcurtis @ByRobDavies @SIBANational Non SIBA members listed on the website and marked as independent if they are. Its a campaign for all indie brewers not just siba members

[Braybrooke Beer Co @BraybrookeBeer]

We're proud to support the new @indiebeeruk campaign, helping beer drinkers find great beer from truly independent breweries such as us. #IndieBeerUK #BuyLocalBeer #BuyIndieBeer

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

@thebeernut Essentially definition is same as it would be for SIBA Membership; less than 1% market share, U.K. brewed, and independent of larger brewing organisations over 1%. If you think we’ve got something wrong email us via [email protected] and we’ll look into it

[Neil Walker @itsNeilWalker]

This is a great deal from @atticbrewco to celebrate the launch of the @indiebeeruk campaign. Just ordered a mixed case myself! 🍻 #indiebeeruk #buyindiebeer
