Q: What’s your favourite style of beer?
A: I (Keith) love spicy Reds
Q: If you could only have one of your brews for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? (I know it’s like picking a favourite child!)
A: It would be our Red IPA – I love the spicy notes a red gives. It’s a great beer when eating spicy foods too – brings out all the flavours.

Q: What brewery you would like to collaborate with and why?
A: Would love to collab with Thornbridge. The team there have helped us out a few times with some great advice, so it would be great to work with them.
Q: I see your crowdfunding. What are your aims for future brewery growth?
A: Well this list is long. We moved in to a new brewing facility last year meaning we are fit for future expansion, but we intend to grow sales across the northwest at first and then further down south. To accomplish this we need extra sales, brewing and marketing individuals. We intend to open a further 8 beerhouses and open-up our plans for export. We will expand on our growing retail presence and continue to create new and exciting beers.

Q: Any interesting stories?
A: We’ve so many stories – we’re brothers so you can imagine the dynamic is a little different to most other businesses…………yeah of course we disagree at times but we always manage to come to a decision.
We intended to launch with our IPA and Watermelon Wheat Beer but we couldn’t suss the Watermelon beer at all………it ended up taking us over a year and 100’s of attempts to get it right. Its now gone on to win a few awards one of them being an IBC international award judged by a panel of international beer professionals brought together by the Drinks retailing News
Thanks to Seven Bro7hers for taking part! I’m looking forward to see your brewery’s growth and eager to sample your beers. I love your taproom glasswear – I will certainly be visiting next time I come to Manchester. For more information on the brewery check out the following;
