Commissioners choice. They were willing to go back in but commissioners opposed it. New brewery plans are ambitious. 7 days a week tap room off the beaten path in port Erin. Doing craft beer. Not sure where the market is for that wholesale and retail it’s a difficult sell to them. Generally tends to be higher abv so high alcohol duty. Many good craft breweries in U.K. have gone under. With additional transport costs and smaller population I just don’t see it. Best of luck to them but if it were dragons den “I’m out”.

Bushys have plans in for a tap room on the other side of Castletown. You know where the money will be. Likely why the commissioners didn’t renew the lease as the new owner of Bushys owns half of Castletown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanx90 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 It may be tough for all of the island's breweries right now. H&B will likely feel the impact of losing their music license at the track sides this year. The new brewery in Port Erin seems quite ambitious. However, with five other operational breweries on the island, I doubt if there's space for a sixth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will still be some music but surly people want it later in the evening after the rider Interviews etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how many bars here are buying that? I think the answer is not many. Brewery won't touch it. Can't see the likes of the Rovers buying it, or selling it even if they did. Pigeon, Blind Pig etc I don't see being interested. As you'll know yourself, current duty rates are a killer on higher strength beers, which generally craft beer is too. So do you survive with your tap room only? Well off the beaten track down in Port Erin, as much as I like craft beer, I couldn't see me going regularly to that either. It's certainly ambitious.

I know the ins and outs of it and there's a lot more to it than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
