I can’t add breweries either apparently. This new brewery I’m going to visit this weekend needs a brewery entry and a place entry. Thanks guys!
No webpage but details on address etc are found if you google: dog pirate beer lewes
Their facebook doesn’t have address and such but here:
OK moved this post to the add places forum sorry.
It seems that this brewery has closed:
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/lagerale-brewery/32360/
Their website leads to a blank page and no one has checked into their beer on UnTappd since 2020.
This one is marked as “No Longer in Business” on UT and they have removed their beers from view:

I was looking at Buckinghamshire breweries tonight. It seems that all of these have closed:
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/brewhouse-kitchen-milton-keynes/36682/
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/concrete-cow-brewery/9008/
Thank you, retired! Noticed the Brewhouse & Kitchen in Bedford had apparently kicked the bucket 3-4 months ago as well, so retired that one too.
The website for this brewery is http://sunspringbeer.com/
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/shandong-yangchun/42642/
Address, as per the contacts page:
Yangchun Street Unit, Huangqibao Street, Fangzi District, Weifang City, Shandong Province, China
This does not sound like a mircobrewery to me:
“The brewery sits on 5 hectares of land, of which 2 hectares are dedicated to the production facility. Podkovan has a historical production capacity of 300,000 hectoliters per year, equivalent to 30 million liters of quality beer.”
Yeah, that’s a very specific case. It is in some ways a fit for commercial brewery, it’s in others a fit for microbrewery.
Note that they claim a historical production capacity. In reality, the production is much, muuuuuch smaller (around 25k in 2016 which is the latest I can find with a quick search). I suggest you do a Google map walk around it - it’s a typical oversized ancient brewery that got its last significant exterior visual “update” during communist times, and is pretty much falling apart. The concrete facades in glaring contrast with the beautiful nature it’s in. It had a very rocky transition period, with ownership disputes, bankruptcies, pauses in production, with only, perhaps, the technology inside being updated here and there. Now I see they invested somehow further, into a canning line, and it’s being exported, so good for them. You couldn’t even find the beer easily in Mladá Boleslav which is the closest city a year or two ago - some Billa stores in Prague (and maybe around the country) carried/carry their silly big PET bottles and that was/is the only relatively easy way to get a tick - if you wanted a tick from a dusty PET bottle shelfie.
I’ve flipped it to commercial, but it was until very recently, and it might still be, a trad regional mid-sized to micro brewery in the shell of what was once a big brewery.
You still get plenty of those, like Moucha in the former Braník brewery stables in Prague, an even better recent example would be Žatecký pivovar being shut down by Carlsberg and the eponymous micro being established soon after in the former boiler house of the old brewery - but this is a rare case of unbroken continuity and technically it’s the same, it’s highly questionable how much of the space there they actually use.
Black Cloak is no longer a Colwyn Bay based brewpub. The brewing has now moved to a seperate location in Denbigh:
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/black-cloak-brewing/38206/
Units 1 & 2, Enterprise Centre, Denbigh, Clwyd, LL16 5TA
I added https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/breheny-bros-breweries/54417/ yesterday and drank a beer they brew at Burnley. Coincidentally* I added a couple of beers to Burnley today and see that a number of “Breheney” beers have previously been added with Burnley as the brewer rather than as the contract brewer. It seems my spelling is the correct one. The Breheny website says
Descendants of the original Breheny brothers discovered the original Breheny Bros Breweries recipe books from the 1920s then partnered with Burnley Brewing to reproduce Breheny Brothers Sparkling Bitter, […]
by which you can judge whether you think it’s a commissioner or not.
*Or perhaps not - Burnley are in trouble and seem unlikely to survive.
Fixed up the Breheny Bros beers, your entry ended up a duplicate as it was already added to Burnley. Also changed them to Client Brewer as they are using their recipes to brew the beers.
Here the rule of thumb for that:
CLIENT BREWER - A Client Brewer is business entity that does not own its own brewing equipment but instead arranges to use existing brewing facilities to produce their owned-recipe beers. They can sometime also have a physical location (waiting for their brewing licenses for example).
COMMISSIONER - A Commissioner pays a brewery to brew and package its beers for sale under its own label but they do not have their own recipes. Commissioners are essentially a Trademarked Brand but they can sometime also have physical locations where their products are exclusive. Examples are restaurant and grocery chains.
Merge situation. Cidery that brews some beers for on-site:

https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/city-orchard-brewery/49498/
What about a microbrewery who does own their own equipment but moves it to brew within another brewers premises? Still classed as microbrewery?
These guys have done that:
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/avalanche-brew-co-england/39891/
moving the kit (see their nice video on fb!) to now brew at:
There is precedent for these to be separate microbreweries. If I recall during my visit to Vancouver there was a brew collective that had at least 3 different breweries brewing in one location. Not sure how much was their own system.
This brewery:

City should be Alliance Ohio, not Alltance
-thanks, cheap
Hey @cheap-also - FYI, you can access your original Forums account as well, just reset the password for it, it won’t affect your regular RB password.
Non-standard situation here. This brewery is located in occupied territory.
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/zao-lispi/14774/
According to Ukrainian UnTappd users, some of the brands, namely Dusha Pivovara, have been taken on by Zeman in Lutsk since at least July 2023, on the opposite side of the country.
However, Lispi continues to function in some capacity. Some Russian users have posted check-ins of at least two of their beers purchased in Melitopol, which we don’t currently list.
I suggest that all the existing beers are retired and maybe a note be added explaining the situation. Hopefully at some point more information will emerge.
And while we’re at it, the website can be removed as it now refers you to a gambling website.
Having trouble logging out of the forums, so I can log in again and try your suggestion. Also, last time I did this, it created a duplicate ‘cheap’ account which caused some problems.
