Saltaire Brewery doubles capacity with £1m-plus spend

West Yorkshire-based Saltaire Brewery has invested more than £1m in new kit following ongoing growing demand for its beers.

The new equipment more than doubles the company’s brewing capacity to over 100,000 pints per week.

The spend follows continued and growing demand for its beer, especially from ASDA, Morrisons, Sainsburys and Co-op, companies that have significantly increased distribution both in terms of new lines listed and increased store availability.

Ewen Gordon, managing director at Saltaire Brewery explained: “We’ve enjoyed year-on-year growth since the business was founded 12 years ago and the rise in the popularity of craft beer has almost certainly played a significant part of that.

“The new brew kit will be instrumental in allowing us to grow more ambitiously over the next year, we’ve got our sites set on a number of other significant developments and additions to the business which will also support our growth plans and enable us to get our beer out there to more and more people.

“It’s a really exciting period of growth for the business, and the investments we’ve made so far will only go to support the demand for our products on a national level.”
