Bristol’s Moor Beer is celebrating its 10th birthday with record results and is eyeing further growth in 2017 and beyond.
The brewery, which exports to 20 countries, is looking for additional premises in both Bristol and London and to expand the team in all areas of the business.
Justin Hawke, Moor Beer’s owner, explained: “We’re so happy to be celebrating our 10th birthday, especially when you consider most people think craft beer is a new movement. News of our continuing growth coinciding with our anniversary is the icing on the cake.
“Over the past decade we set many of the trends by having the vision and quality to kick-start what was a flagging British beer market. We continue to remain desirable by a growing audience by staying true to our values and being fiercely independent.
“In these days of ‘crafty’ buyouts by the big brewers and the crowdfunding of questionable propositions, both of which compromise the integrity and choices a brewer can make, we are one of the very few who are truly independent.
“All shares are owned by my wife and I who both work full time for the brewery and believe passionately in its future.
“The progress we’ve made in the last 10 years is testament to an ever vibrant beer scene and we are looking forward to what the next six months, year and even ten years brings for us.”
