Summer Solstice is here, with 21st June 2023 officially marking the first day of Summer. As outdoor dining returns as a norm and the warm weather calls for a cold beer, our British brewers certainly come into their own during the summer season. In fact, it’s been recorded that almost 30% of Brits drink more alcohol when the weather gets warmer. (Source: Opinium Article)
Here’s just a few ways we can support your brewery during the summer season…
Reduce Your Energy Bills with the Right Equipment for the Job
Between a busy Summer and preparing for the Christmas rush up to 6 months in advance, your brewing energy-bills can soon begin to rack up from June.
Thankfully, there are ways they can look to reduce energy costs, to mention a few:
- Invest in a boiler than can recover escaping heat to reuse it.
- Insulate all your hot lines to recover otherwise wasted energy.
- Look at the specs, pressure and curve of your pump system to see if it can scale accordingly.
- Separately control fans and compressors within the refrigeration process to reduce costs further.
- Capture the CO₂ that is naturally produced during fermentation and bottling to repurpose for later.
- Install solar and wind powered systems in processes like the canning line to reduce electricity bills.
Moorgate Brewery Finance can secure the finance you need to invest in energy-saving solutions like these.
Taking on New Markets
Outside of the classic British pub, there is a huge market for the taking for brewers in the wider hospitality market. Think coffee shops, restaurants, food festivals and independent bars – all the perfect hub for a brewery business to thrive.
Those who are bold enough to take on the challenge of entering these markets will of course need to scale their brewery up. With that comes the need for larger scale equipment and production lines, but again we’re here to help secure finance for all of that.
Opening a Taproom
For many brewers, opening a taproom is a logical and exciting next step. It creates a social environment for your customers to enjoy the beer right where it was born and opens the door for them to try your other products too.
If the summer buzz has you dreaming of a taproom for Summer 2024, we can help to secure the business finance you need to start making these dreams a reality.
Brewery Tours
Another way to get customers on site where your beer is brewed is to offer brewery tours. The public are fascinated by brewing processes and experiencing fresh beer right at the source of its creation.
If you need new equipment, signage or structures to make this happen at your brewery, we can secure the finance needed for all of this.
Don’t Forget the Home Brew Kits!
As more of us spend time outside and hovering over a barbecue, the public are ever keen to become brewers themselves and create their own drinks at home.
Moorgate Brewery Finance can even help you to finance equipment, packaging and products you would need to start providing your own home-brew kits and expand your business into customer-beer-creation.
The summer sun and increased daylight hours has a huge impact on our moods and positivity. If you’re feeling ready to embrace summer and take your brewery business to the next level, then Moorgate Brewery Finance are ready to hear from you!
