We've lost the pot....

...literally.... nearly 1000 of them! Some of you sharp eyed drinkers out there would have already noticed that a number of our Southville Hop bottles have something missing. I could try & convince you all that this was fully intended & a great marketing ploy but really it proves that we are human and that some how we managed to label nearly 1000 bottles with a huge glaring mistake - 'The Pint Pot is missing!'
To show how much our beloved Pint Pot means to us we have decided to open this into a bit of a competition.
The first 10 people to send in a photo of a Southville Hop bottle without the pint pot on the front will get entered into a draw to win a mixed case of bottles. Photos don't need to be high quality but we always enjoy a good larf so the funnier the better. You never know, if there is a real good piccy we may feel that we'll give that entry a prize as well!!!!
Send your photo's into enquiries@bristolbeerfactory.co.uk with subject being 'Our Pint Pot is Missing'.
Put all your details on the email & we'll let you know. Cheers.

Blogging....(hope the spelling is right!)

Well hasn't it been an age since we last blogged, but just like Nat West we've had a few technical problems - however we are more honest than them and we admit that its because we're a bunch of technophobes and talking via a keyboard 'ain't our kinda thang'!!

So what has been happening in Beer Factoryland....... well, we have a few new faces at the brewery, a few new tanks, a few new beers and we are marching forward faster than most of us can keep with.

Once we have figured out what all this blogging is about we'll post something meaningful and constructive up for you all to comment on.......
  

Now...here goes trying to upload an image.......

Ooops...try again

Handpulls in the Tobacco Factory

In December 2004 Bristol Beer Factory beers first went on sale in the Tobacco Factory, today they are on sale via handpull for the first time. They have always been cask beers, but rather than pouring through a t-bar they can now be dispensed by an authentic handpull.

There are 6 handpulls on the bar, today we have Seven, Sunrise, Acer, Milk Stout & Collaboration available.

Enjoy!
