We are pleased to announce that we have joined forces with SIBA, the Society of Independent Brewers. Don't ask about the "A".
(Ah, go on, ask)...
We are proud to join forces with over 450 of Britain's 700 total breweries who are members of this campaigning organisation. When you read their 2009 Local Brewing Report and can say, "Hear, Hear!!" to all of their objectives, you know you are in the right place.
We are looking forward to being active SIBA members, with a dedicated interest in opposing measures that unfairly disadvantage our trade and lead to the demise of the local pub. We subscribe to their robust principles about quality control and cask ownership, and are also looking at the possibility of signing up for the Direct Delivery Scheme, which would give us access to the pubco estate throughout East Anglia. If you are a tied pub and are looking to stock award-winning local ales, let us know. We are happy to work with you, and DDS looks like a vehicle that can support us both.
