Thought this would be of interest to some on here. Beer Merchants are planning to open "London's best craft beer bar and bottleshop, as well also found the UK's first lambic-inspired blendery" in Hackney Wick. |
Two stops from me on the Overground...I'll play their game. |

Promising stuff - particularly the on site blending like Monks Cafe |
Just close to Stratford International for me. I'm in. |
Done, I don't get to London often but could probably spend £100 over a few visits. Hopefully up and running by beer wk nxt yr |
Interesting twist on the usual crowdfunding aspect. I've pitched in small amounts for several breweries and bottleshops for equity in the past but getting double your moneys worth as a gift voucher seems like a no-brainer really. I mean I'm going to be spending that much money on beers regardless, so it's effectively free beer in cases like this. Granted I'll have to go to London but still... worth it. |
I saw this on Twitter earlier today just before launch, I've chipped in and so has Loz. |
Looks like a good deal. Either they're not anticipating that funders will make the most of their freebies, or they'll have pretty eye-watering mark-ups at the bar. Otherwise they could be out of pocket. |
Originally posted by chriso I'm guessing they figure they can offer this discount and still make a profit, just diminished for a period for certain drinkers. On-premise margins tend to be pretty high to start with. |
Probably still cheaper and less risky than a loan from the bank. |
