Expanding brewery seeks to relocate and ramp up production
Amity Brew Co, a craft brewery based in Leeds, is set to relocate its brewing operation to Bradford from its current manufacturing facilities at Sunny Bank Mills in Farsley.
This move will support Amity’s growth plans and increase production capacity to meet growing demand.
The brewery has submitted plans to Bradford Council to move its brewing operations to Albion Mills in Greengates, just three miles away from its current location.
In addition to relocating production, Amity will also open a taproom at the new site, offering an enhanced experience for beer lovers in the region.
Verity Clarke, director of Amity Brew Co, said: “We’ve loved being part of the vibrant Leeds beer scene, but it’s clear that Bradford offers exciting new opportunities for growth.
“This is an amazing time for the move to happen, especially with Bradford being named City of Culture this year. We’re proud to be part of that energy, and we’re excited to contribute to the revitalisation of this dynamic city.”
Amity Brew Co has outgrown its current space at Sunny Bank Mills, where brewing can only occur when the bar is closed.
The new premises at Albion Mills will allow the company to expand production and brew round the clock, supporting its customer base and paving the way for future expansion on trade and exporting.
Clarke added: “When we saw the building at Albion Mills, we knew it was the perfect fit. It’s an ideal location for our needs, and we’re looking forward to creating more space for our brewing team and bringing our beers to even more people.”
In addition to the brewing move, the bar at Sunny Bank Mills will remain open and will expand into the area previously used for brewing.
This will allow Amity to continue serving its customers in Farsley while ramping up production in Bradford.
The relocation will also breathe new life into a former furniture storage unit that had been vacant for years.
According to Amity’s planning application, the redevelopment of this space will make a positive contribution to the local economy and support the area’s revitalisation.
