AllGates' joint founder David Mayhall.
Apparently All Gates Brewery is expanding!
The following article appeared in a recent edition of the Manchester Evening News and it seems we are expanding!
The article appeared following a brief interview with a M.E.N, journalist for a feature on small micro breweries in the North West. We happened to mention that we were on the look out for more pubs and ten would be a good number and also that the brewery was at full capacity and if and when we did move there would be little point in moving to a slightly bigger brewery and we would therefore move straight up to a 20 barrel plant.
All we can say at the moment is that there are no definite plans on either front!
