Incredible Sales Success for Thornbridge Beers
Bakewell based Thornbridge brewery is celebrating “a fantastic set of six months trading figures” says Brewery Managing Director Jim Harrison with a 115% increase in sales for the first six months of the year compared to the same period last year. The brewery, which moved to a new purpose built site in September 2009, is according to Harrison “despite some very tough trading conditions experiencing the benefits of the investment in both equipment and staff that have allowed us to take up the demand that Thornbridge beers have created”. As well as an increase in the local and regional pub market the brewery has also seen interest from national pub companies that now mean Thornbridge’s beers are available across the country. Cask sales from the of the brewery have been growing month on month and the brewery is on track to sell 4 million pints this year.
The cask sales have been complemented by the launch of a new bottled range of its beers including the multi award winning Jaipur IPA. Simon Webster, the brewery’s Operational Director says that the brewery aims to grow bottle sales substantially over the next 5 years. “Our bottled beers have always been successful and popular but until recently we just could not keep up with demand. With the new site we can now do so and have already exported to the US, the Far East and mainland Europe with repeat orders from all areas. Thornbridge has become a premium brand for those wishing to try a range of quality beers that are brewed with the best ingredients and great skill”.
Thornbridge will be showcasing their cask and bottled beers with a bar at the Great British Beer Festival – Earls Court 3rd to the 7th August -www.gbbf.camra.org.uk
