January is always a quiet time for brewers and over the past month or so we’ve really been doing a lot of thinking and planning; working out where we want to go in 2025 and how to get there.
It’s no secret that the brewing industry is tough. The economy just gets tougher. And we haven’t yet managed to grow and expand Artefact (starting out in earnest as a hobby in 2020) – which is incredibly frustrating.
We constantly have plans and ideas, but our problem is picking a plan! Hopefully that will change this year.
Unfortunately, we will not be open at the brewery this weekend for sales as usual and we will not be attending the Bury Farmer’s Market this Sunday either. We’re not quite back in gear yet after a slow start to 2025.
However, business should resume as usual next month! With some exciting new releases, too.
As ever, we’re incredibly grateful for your continued support and hope to ‘up our Artefact Brewing game’ in 2025, by expanding our production and making it easier for you to buy beer directly from us (online and in person).
Wish us luck!
