Richmond Brewing Company
Richmond Brewing Company Limited is a new venture, set up by two experienced head brewers. Situated in The Station, the company will provide first class ales in bottle and cask to businesses in The Station complex, in Richmond, and in the Yorkshire area.
Production from the new 6-barrel brew-length plant commenced on 2 June 2008.
Key initial products for Richmond Brewing Company Limited will be the production of a Richmond Station Ale and a Stump Cross Ale; other seasonal products will feature in the future.
The venture is an exciting one for Andy Hamilton and Richard Bowerman who are looking forward to producing high-quality, tasty ales that can be enjoyed by both the occasional drinker and by the real ale aficionado!
