Do anyone know if they brew themselves?
I forgot to ask 
They have registrated 3 beer at the yellow pages
The Anchor - Birmingham, West Midlands Combined Authority - Untappd
Nothing Id ever heard of ⊠not a Brum local but do get there about 3 times per year.
3 beers in over 5 years smacks of re-badged house brews to me !
They do not brew themselves
How is the rules in England?
Are they then a commissioner or a client brewer?
I guess they do not have a license
So commissioner is ok?
possibly collabs, though would expect the actual brewery to be named. Iâve not been there since Gerry left so no idea but Iâd say if they were short-lived i.e. a 9 or 2 then Iâd agree rebadges, if they were on for a sustained period possibly a contract (or cuckoo) brew
They donât mention a brewery on any of their social media.
They get someone to brew it
But they would not tell who, to a friend of mine that is there quite often
A big secretâŠmy godness
But he is trying to find out who the real brewer is
Are the casks/kegs behind the bar? He should take a quick look. I did that one when staff at a festival didnât know what the beer actually was. Although going behind a temporary festival bar is less of an issue.
But donât try doing it in Finland or you get shouted at.
The best way to do that is to point in the opposite direction and shout âLook, a three-headed monkey!â. Works every time.

Itâs very common for bars in England to slap their own pump clip on another bog standard beer supplied by their distributor eg: Anchor Bitter, Anchor Pale Ale, Anchor Stout etc etc⊠There are a number of pubs / restaurants who do this and quite often if the bar says the beer is made for them, 9 times out of 10, itâs not.

a-ha
not easy for a norwegian to change that
:-/
Why do they make it so difficult for us ratebeerians
I would take the Untappd entries with a pinch of salt. I regularly visit the Anchor and never seen even a rebadge under their name, but, they have had close links with Church End brewery in the past, particularly when Gerry was there.
Another case in point is brewery ciders. Just saw this here in Somerset. Asked the bar girl if she knew who made it. A local barfly laughed and said âwell, Bristol brewery of course, says so on the clipâ. Bar girl agreed, âBristol breweryâ.
I said that theyâre a brewery, and arenât known for making cider. Both insisted they made it on site.
Quick Google reveals its Westonâs.
