Brew York hits crowdfunding target
A crowdfunding campaign to create York’s ‘biggest craft beer venue’ has exceeding its target of raising £40,000 and is now looking to hit £50,000.
The Brew York team say the crowdfunding effort will allow them to provide 40 beers on tap in their Street Food Kitchen, a Hoptail Lounge and more Taproom brews.
Brew York said: “The plan is to have three distinctly different bars where you can enjoy our beer in different ways. There’ll be 40 keg beers on tap in the Street Food Kitchen where we’ll be pairing the beer to the eats.
“In the Hoptail Lounge there’ll be a relaxed vibe where you’ll be able to enjoy a Tonkoko White Russian or two. And of course, our Taproom will see ever more weird and wonderful beers, which can be enjoyed just meters from where they’re brewed.”
They said that hitting the increased target of £50,000 would enable them to install an advanced ‘pilot’ kit; a small-scale brewing set up, allowing them to offer brewing lessons and create more experimental brews.
They added: “We continue to put all of the profits back into the business, so we can make more brews and if we’re to grow we need to look at another way of doing it. We could of course have visited the bank, but that doesn’t benefit the people who drink at Brew York and we both left corporate jobs to do things a bit differently.”
